I used to breed dogs and often found that if you leave an article of your clothing with your scent on it with the pup then that often clams them. Don't use a precious clothing article though, as it'll get chewed up or worse.
I've often heard tell that wrapping an old fashioned ticking clock up in an old bath towel and putting it in the pups basket can remind the pup of it's mothers heartbeat. Don't know how true that is though - and obviously don't put a plastic one in with the pup as again it'll get chewed.
Unless you suspect something is genuinely wrong with the pup then your best bet is to harden your heart and let her cry. If you keep going downstairs to her then she'll soon learn that the more noise she makes, the more it'll get her some attention.
Don't worry too much. Puppies break their hearts for some attention at night - she will get over it, though you may not get a whole lot of sleep for a while.
