How does your 2 month fall asleep?

DD. (9 weeks) falls asleep during a feed normally, but will wake up as soon as she unlatches or is put down - his results in many many short naps throughout the day. She will also nap in the wrap or pram if there's constant movement. When she was a bit younger she would fall asleep in Moses basket etc if tired but not anymore!! She won't take a dummy - I've tried them all!

Is this pretty normal? It doesn't mean she's going to be a nightmare sleeper like 3yo DD1 forever does it??

I've only ever got around 4 weeks use out of the Moses basket - when sleep is still very passive.

By 9 weeks I had started feeding upon waking from a nap, instead of when going to sleep. Not every time, sometimes (especially if I wanted to nap too) I'd feed to sleep lying down and we would both stay there. By 12 weeks I wasn't feeding to sleep except for exceptional (overtired) situations. Dummy was critical in allowing this though.

But mostly at this age I was doing naps in bouncy chair with lots of extra help (foot bouncing the bouncer and dummy) and feeding upon waking up.
