My first was just like that...so hard to get anything done. My second slept in her car seat! I think it was the semi-upright position that helped, laying down seemed to make them both wake up (gas, I suspect) shortly after being put down. I talked to my doctor and health nurse and both said it was fine to do that. I would actually put the car seat in the crib, and she would sleep 3-4 hours right from the get-go and nap that duration during the day. Just my two cents. I will def. be doing the same thing for number three.
