Jellybean mentioned tummy sleeping as her 'secret' to get her bubs to sleep - well of course it is your choice with your bubs but it does concern me to hear it recommended to others.
Just in case others reading this think it's a good thing to try, SIDS organisations say that stomach sleeping is the no. 1 risk factor in SIDS. So really I'd urge the OP to consider the recommendations of the other posters before thinking of tummy sleeping. Sids and Kids - Safe Sleeping
Sorry Jellybean I know you were just saying what worked for you.
If you think of it from your DD's POV, up until very recently she's gone from being held, rocked, snuggled 24 hours a day to what is a dramatic cut to that time. It's only natural there'll be a transition period where she wants to be soothed the way she's used to.
As the others have said, this will change in time. You certainly are not creating any 'bad habits' for her, any more than carrying her in your womb for 9 months would have created a bad habit. Give her time to adjust to this new way of doing things.
