Newborn won't sleep during day

[Ramonita]

My baby daughter is 2 months old now and since she was about 3 weeks old, she's stopped taking prolonged naps during the day. I'm now managing to get her to do c. 30 mins in her chair in the morning, 20 mins in her cot after lunch, plus a walk in sling or pram at some point just for the sake of giving her an extra half hour shut-eye. She'll sleep for much longer in her sling or car seat, but wakes up as soon as you try to transfer her / stop driving, and even though she does eventually settle in her cot, she will not stay asleep for long in it and I can't get her to go back to sleep once she's woken. She sleeps fine at night (12-13 hrs total) and is in general a very alert, healthy happy baby. Am I doing something wrong or could she just be a baby that doesn't need much sleep? Any tips?!

Sounds a lot like dd at that age. She now (age 3.8) sleeps 11-12 hours at night plus about 2 in the afternoon! She did, as a little one, sleep better outside in her pram in the fresh air (just outside the back door, not bawling that the bottom of the garden), so that might be worth a go. But if she seems well otherwise, and sleeps so well at night, it may be just who she is.
