I breastfeed her..do you think that is why..cause I'm nice and warm. She feels safe...

You need to regulate their schudule. Feed the same time every time. Let them have two naps per day and if they sleep more than two hours wake them up. Do not let them nap after dinner. If the baby falls asleep when feeding alow ten minutes tops. The baby will bry alot at first but them will become used to the schedule. A regular schedule will help the mom too so that you can get quiet time, and sleep at night. do not allow baby to stay up past 7 or 8 pm or you are asking for trouble.

I have twin girls; 3 months old, they don't sleep through the night, but do sleep around 5-6 hours straight at night. I don't believe in the cry-it-out solution. If you don't want to hear your baby girl cry, I suggest schedule and then get "The No Cry Sleep Solution" by Elizabeth Pantley. Wonderful book!!

I have twins(6months) and a three year old......You must get your little girl into a routine...and stick to it....if a baby knows it's meant to be feeding it will wake up...same with bath time and changing times...Also when they are crying through the night don't pick them up straight away....let them know your there but leave them for 5 minutes....then 6 then 7 then 8 and so on before you know it you'll be in a routing and everyone's happy...........If your breastfeeding it's more difficult and you should feed on demand but everthing else should be a routine....

Hi, I just wanted to show you the Amby Bed
http://www.ambybaby.com/affiliates/affiliate.php?id=22&group=1
We used it for our baby and she has been sleeping through the night since 6 weeks! Of course, we would wake her up and feed her, but, she loved it!

Despite John A's warning You CAN co-sleep with your baby if you do it smartly.
This link has some great info on it:

Its up to you to decide what's best for your baby.

You could try cosleeping.
I wouldn't expect them to sleep through the night until at least 6 months, honestly, since they are trying to double their birthweight in that time and have a lot of growth sputs close together in the first 6 months.

Do NOT sleep in the same bed as your baby. You could SUFFOCATE her and kill her. There have been a number of studies that associate bed sharing with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
