It’s common for such a young baby to have her nights and days mixed up, and that’s what it sounds like. She will eventually come out of this stage on her own in just a couple weeks or less but if you are impatient for this to happen then you should try really observing her behavior to pinpoint the present factors when she does easily fall asleep. When my son was that age I had the same problem and used trial and error to discover that he liked to be swaddled tightly and he had a little bear(which you can find at good old Wal-Mart) that had a “heartbeat” which comforted him. Also, I found that keeping him in his room with the monitor on didn’t work so we moved a cradle in to our room and just the comfort of people nearby seemed to help.For your daughter it may be soft music, complete darkness, no blankets, etc. Just try and try until you find the right combination. Good luck!

Yes we did as a matter of fact. The longest trip that we ever made was going to Colorado from Oklahoma to visit my aunt, uncle and cousins that lived there at the time. But the other trips that we took were always going to a lake. We always slept in mom and dads camper shell they have on their truck. They had a sheet of plywood in the back next to the cab and they had a mattress on that for them to sleep on and then a folding bed for each of us to sleep on. Had a “pot” to use as a toilet and had our own food and drinks as well. Mom would hang a sheet on a line that went from a tree to another tree and that is where we would change our clothes and bathe as well. It was also used to hang our wet clothes when we were done swimming for awhile. We would cook hamburgers and hot dogs over an open flame with a wire rack that had came out of an old refrigerator. Those were the good old days, lol.
