Try swaddling her if her arms and legs flail around.

Put something in there that smells of you, like a t shirt that you've worn.

Maybe put a firm pillow in there first - some crib mattresses are very thin.

Put a hot water bottle in there for a minute or two first to warm it up a bit.

Good luck!!
