Hi SHannon. I have a 4 week old who is a bit similar. She gets rocked or patted to sleep & usually wakes as soon as she is put down. And she also sleeps very well at night.

What I do find is that the longer I hold her & let her get into a deep sleep, the longer she will sleep when she is put down.
Are you wrapping her?
Also sometimes I will put her in her rocker & rock her for a bit after she is put down, that helps to get her in a deeper sleep & stay asleep.


Sorry I don't have any easy answers... it's all a bit of trial & error in these early days! Hope you find something that works for you soon.
