Hugs Nickie. This is such a tricky age. Lots of little babies (and she is little) just can't seem to fall asleep by themselves, or stay asleep during their nap. It's absolutely not a reflection on anything you're doing wrong! It's just her being a tiny baby. With my dd1, I put so much pressure on myself to do things right - all naps in cot, perfect routine... And She was a great sleeper, but I almost made myself nuts. With dd2, I've deliberately been more relaxed. I've always kept her on an EAS but she's had loads of naps in the pram, in the carrier, the car.... They're not always great naps, but they keep her going. If I were you, I'd concentrate on one or two naps in the cot for the sake of starting some sleep training, but also do some apop if you need to for the other naps. Big big hugs.
