[quote=Anonymous]I'd do what you're doing - because she will learn how to go to sleep.  I learned that holding the baby's arms on their tummy (assuming she's still sleeping on her back) does help calm them, because their arms are into their body.  So if you put her arm like that, it's not a surprise she went to sleep quickly.  I might try something different when she woke up - jump on her quickly and sooth her back to sleep with the arm on tummy trick or by rubbing her forehead.  This way she isn't awake, playing (or just looking around) - she is back to sleep within 5 minutes (you hope).  This way she (you hope) will change her sleep cycle to NOT waking up - you don't want a party to greet her when she wakes up, just you silently rubbing her forehead and holding her arms on her tummy.  The hope is she won't need this after a week of doing it.

Sometimes it's just trial and error - BUT don't give up on one thing too soon.  So you could keep doing what you described for a week and see what happens. If it doesn't change, then do my jump on them quick trick for a week and see if that works. [/quote]
