have you tried teaching her independent sleep with the shh pat techniques outlined in the BW books?  rocking to sleep is a prop and won't teach her how to go to sleep and stay asleep which is why she woke 5 min after you put her down.  swaddling may also help if she is an active sleeper, it keeps them from waking themselves up with flailing limbs.
