I can understand your frustration - I had twins, and they drove me mental.... If she cries and then falls asleep at the breast then maybe there is another reason she woke up?? Maybe she has wind, or is just uncomfortable...
I honestly beleive she is too young to develop that horrible habit of wanting to be in your arms all the time, but if you put her in her bed, and pat her back gently, that might suffice, and she might just go to sleep without being in your arms. I really hope it gets better for you and your wife, it is really difficult. Try having twins with colic - that's something that can really drive you up the wall!!
