I'm not sure about the bed vs. crib part, but you mentioned that you & your hubby got up 10 times in a night to comfort her. If she knows that you will be coming to her calls, she will only continue to cry for you. This might be the age when she needs to learn to comfort herself.
My son is the same age (born at Halloween). I usually rock him to sleep and put him in his crib. Sometimes he would wake & I'd run back to comfort him by rocking him back to sleep again. This became a problem with multiple trips back to his room (and sometimes in the middle of the night). A month ago we decided that he needed to learn to comform himself. This involves putting him down to sleep, leaving the room and not coming back. He would cry & scream, and it was difficult as a mother to listen. I noticed that he would pause to listen to see if I was coming back. I told myself that 35-40 minutes would be my threshhold (yours might be different), and then I would go in to rock him. The first night he cried for 30 minutes. The second night for 10. The third night for 3-4 minutes. Once he knew that I wasn't coming back he learned that he needed to sooth himself. This also helped for when he would wake up in the night. I wouldn't have to get up and rock him, he would just cry for a couple minutes and fall back asleep.
I got this idea from a co-worker. He had four children and the youngest was a baby that needed rocking to sleep. He told me that the first night she cried for 30 min, the next night 10, and the next night 5. I couldn't beleive that my son was almost exactly the same. Maybe this will help with you. Good luck.
