How did you learn to put them down?

LO has been home sick for two days and I am exhausted. I cannot get her to take a nap except while she's in the Ergo and I am walking or standing. DH worked from home this afternoon and he got her to sleep right away. He can do it, daycare can do it, what will it take for me to be able to do it???

I don't think I have the timing/signals wrong because I frequently tell DH when she is ready for a nap. I'm holding her like DH does, bouncing her on the ball for the same amount of time at similar speed.

Is there anything else I'm not thinking of?
