2 Month Old Will Not Sleep in Her Own Bed - Only Wants to Sleep While Being Held

We don't co-sleep - it's not a safe choice for my family. My 2 month old will only sleep at night in my arms. Every time I put her down in her own bed ( a cradle right next to my own bed), she wakes up and screams. I end up holding her for hours while she sleeps in the night. But then I don't get much sleep. I'm exhausted! I'm breastfeeding her every 2-4 hours throughout the night. She doesn'l like to be put down much for any reason - she doesn't even like her car seat. I have to "wear" her in a sling!
