2 month old-fashioned toddler won't sleep!?
Answers: Body clock hasnt set in nonetheless.
Put her in her cot anyway, and allow her to stay there for 5-10 minutes EVEN if she cries and carry on.
Once you feel she is worked up enough (if she does go and get worked up), go in, lacking making eye contact and rub her belly and coo to her, put on a music box, and leave the room.
You might have to do this a few times a hours of darkness... but so long as you DONT take baby out of her room, things will be fine.
Often they deliberate that you have gone away, and will not come back, hence sometimes they cry for no basis.
SHe is two months old, she still needs ltime to adjust to things. I go through this too. But by the time my daughter hit 3 months i put ehr on a schedule. I wouldn't let her sleep after 4 pm and i would put her down at 8. She sometimes didnt drop asleep for a while but now she is 19 months and sleeps from 7 pm to 8 am with a 3 hour sleep in the afternoon. I think your daughter is still to young at heart to put her on a strict nap but you can help a moment or two by not letting her sleep past a certain time. i reflect tonight is probably a right off! but don't give her attention at this time of hours of darkness - if she wants to talk to herself she can. try to give notice her alone so that she learns that nothing fun go on in the middle of the night.
I found my babies other sleep better when we have a good routine going. ie melt bath, nice massage, bottle/feed after bed. it happens at the same time respectively night and works as a signal to their wee brains that it's time to sleep now! If they do rouse up then it's all business, i save the light off, nurture and change, strait back to bed beside no talking.
Although it's hard to do - a couple of night of letting her cry at night time is worth the effort when they realize that they're better past its sell-by date going to sleep.
I can't believe these answers never leave a baby to freshly cry especcially not at two months!
Babies cry because they need something.
There are studies proving that the cortisol[stress hormone] babies are flooded with when crying it out affects them much next in life.

"Children Need Touching and Attention, Harvard Researchers Say
By Alvin Powell

America's "tolerate them cry" attitude toward children may lead to more fears and tears among adults, according to two Harvard Medical School researchers.
Instead of letting infants cry, American parents should keep their babies close, console them when they cry, and bring them to bed beside them, where they'll feel undisruptive, according to Michael L. Commons and Patrice M. Miller, researchers at the Medical School's Department of Psychiatry.
The pair examined childrearing practices here and in other cultures and right to be heard the widespread American practice of putting babies in separate bed -- even separate rooms -- and not responding quickly to their cries may lead to incidents of post-traumatic stress and hysterics disorders when these children reach adulthood.
The impulsive stress resulting from separation causes changes contained by infant brains that makes future adults more susceptible to stress within their lives, say Commons and Miller.
"Parents should recognize that have their babies cry unnecessarily harms the baby permanently," Commons said. "It change the nervous system so they're overly sensitive to future trauma."
