I agree with Melinda also VERY similar to what we've done with our kids. I also second the swing/bouncy seat for the early weeks when you can't hold her all day, but she wants to feel held. My son acclimated to the swing around 6 weeks and I was in heaven! I also had a 12 month old to take care of and couldn't hold him all day (and if I did hold him he wanted to nurse 24/7 nonstop). We definitely sleep trained and have amazing secure kids that sleep well. But it was when they were older (4-6 months) and the technique we used was different for each one. Just remember she won't be 17 wanting to be held during nap
