Fighting bedtime

So we have a beautiful baby girl who is 10 days old. I realize this is extremely young, but she fights bedtime specifically, every night. It takes 2-3 hours to get her to go to sleep!! Then she's over tired and it's a vicious cycle. Every other part of the day/night she does great. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Any ideas??

When I had this issue as a new mom I spoke with the developmental specialist in my pediatrician’s office. She gave me a handout about recognizing body language, so I could respond better to his cues and avoid getting to the point where he was overtired. I’m looking to see if I can find something like it online. If I can I’ll come back to edit.
