I find nursing to sleep the most effective way. Just lie down with baby and nurse until she drifts off. In the day I rock baby gently while singing / shushing instead. Timing is important too because if she's been awake for too long she will be over tired and will scream and refuse to sleep :( it's my worst nightmare. So if she's been awake for more than 2 hours try to get her to sleep before she gets cranky.
