hey - you would be very lucky to find a wee one of that age doing that by themselves, so dont worry! You are doing well keeping EASY in mind at this age - and that is enough for now in a lot of ways. Teaching them they are safe, secure and to know what good long, secure sleep feels like is more important at this age than getting them to sleep on their own yet.
At this age they don't actually have sleep cycles as such, these come in around 4 months, from what I understand - so their sleep times can vary a lot.
I found using swaddling, white noise and wearing my little man in a wrap or letting him sleep on me was great for teaching him how to sleep well and how to fall asleep. As he got older (around 6-8 weeks) I would put him down and jiggle him awake slightly so he was in his bed as he fell asleep. But we still often had naps on me or daddy.
I would read The Happiest Baby on the Block for this age group, and keep the EASY (or eat play sleep) idealogy in your mind to prevent issues when her sleep cycles mature.
I think the best advice I ever got was "you cannot spoil a newborn". Up to around 12-16 weeks they are really just old fetuses (!) and need to know what safety and relationship is before they can feel safe enough to try things (like falling asleep) on their own. Some miracle babies seem to "get it" from birth - or at least are chilled enough to just go to sleep anywhere - but lots and lots need lots of parenting and love before they can make that next step.
Enjoy this tiny baby phase, it is over so quickly. Do whatever it takes for now and good on you for being so aware of what you need to be ready for in a few weeks time
