BAH! Whoever said "they should settle by 6 weeks" needs a great big slap! What a load of hogwash! Have you tried other settling methods? Perhaps the one you are trying doesn't really appeal to her. We tried to settle Seth in our arms for the first few weeks and it would take hours to get him to sleep, then we started re-swaddling, introduced a musical mobile and tried settling in his bed and he settled alot easier that way. Instead of 3 hrs to get to sleep it took 40 mins, then 30, then 25 and now about 10 mins sometimes less. But feel assured that your baby is definitely NOT the only baby to do this.

Another suggestion might be to hire a hammock and see if she prefers that? And missing a sleep can cause very cranky overtired babies.

Goodluck!
