    It's really normal lol - you're not doing anything wrong. I'd put her straight in the sling if that helps. Best to avoid overtiredness if you can. It's ok if she only sleeps in there during the day - dont' worry about bad habits, etc, etc. Will all work itself out in time.

    The ergo is quite good, but you need to also buy the infant insert at this age. The manduca, beco or olives&applesauce carriers are all very similar, but can be used from newborns (there are different models sometimes, so you might need to confirm this when you're buying).

    You may also want to look at a hammock, some mums swear by them.Trish sells them

    Thanks guys, looks like shes decided if it isnt on me at least during the day she isnt interested. Shes in the sling now sucking her dummy.

    Thanks for the reassurance, I was worried about bad habits I keep getting told by people around me that I'm spoiling her, but she genuinly seems to want to be with me. DH who is home from work has tried but she wont have a bar of him LOL so it isnt just a picking up and being held by anyone thing. Bassinette didnt work btw LOL She does seem to sleep at night but not without protest, I'm trying to get most of her sleep in at night.

    Baby Hammock sounds interesting, where can I get them from? also any one used fisher price my lil lamb swing?
