Originally posted by MrsK View PostFWIW, every time I get frustrated about K2 sleeping on me and thinking that I have other things to do, I take a deep breath and remind myself that infancy is so fleeting. Soon our babies will be grown and out of our arms. Slow down and savor this time, enjoy their soft skin, reasted bodies, baby bellies, baby snores... Then consider whether that other thing you need to do is more important than this moment. Holding your sleeping child is one of life's sweet pleasures and you will miss this time. I know it sounds cliche but seriously, I miss my kids when they sleep at night and I'm surprised by how beautiful they are every single morning.Married to a Urology Attending!

Hang in there! It will get easier soon! Have you tried putting her in the crib, awake and seeing if she falls asleep on her own? I know, it's unlikely at her age. I think you're right that a dark room might help. Apparently, babies are more sensitive to light than adults. Swaddling, pacifier, swing- all of these things could be helpful, as everyone has mentioned. It's all trial and error at this point. You'll soon figure out what works for your baby. I recommend reading "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child", as there is so much useful general information about sleep in there.
