Help for Keeping Baby Awake During the Day

I'm having sleeping issues with my 6 week old daughter. I'm trying to keep her awake more during the day, so she'll sleep better at night. The problem is is that when she's awake all she wants to do is eat and if she doesn't get to nurse she does nothing but scream and cry. How do I keep her from napping too much, without hearing her scream all day? The other problem I am having is that she won't sleep in her cradle anymore. She will fall asleep after nursing and the minute I lay her down, she wakes up crying. I can't hold her all night....
