Sleeping through the night

I recently returned to work part-time and wouldm't you know it Ella has only been sleeping 3 hours at a time. During the summer she was sleeping 5 hours at a time and we thought it would be easy to get her to sleep through the night but we were wrong. We've tried giving her rice cereal, a bath, taking her on a walk, having her sleep in her own bed, etc. and no such luck. Tonight we're letting her "cry it out" and man oh man it is hard. It's midnight and she's been crying for about 40 minutes but I think she's out, so we'll see how the rest of the night goes. Wish us luck!
