    Yes you will. She just needs more time. Look after yourself as best you can in the meantime.
    I suggest making things easier for yourself - cuddle/feed/bedshare/whatever works best and means most rest for you. Don't worry about 'habits'. When she's ready, she will naturally and happily transition to sleeping alone.

    Re: Will I ever get sleep

    What about a comforter? I introduced a pink bunny toy to dd when she was 2 weeks old. I wore it down my top for a few days first and then started placing it in her bassinett, away from her face, but close to her. At about 8 weeks she started facing towards it when she would sleep. Then at about 3 months she would turn her head searching for it and then nuzzle into it and fall asleep. Quite cute actually It takes some time to get them to use it as a comfort, but it worked for us.
