I should give some more background info to the latest poll. Sanna sleeps all day either on the bear or in someone's arms. She wakes up every three hours to eat. At night, after feeding, we put her in the cradle and she cries like someone is killing her. We normally pick her up, but it leads to no sleep for us if we are always holding her. One night, we didnt pick her up and she cried for ~20min and then slept all night. There are varying schools of thought. We are currently entertaining all of them.

That was a great approach. Babies learn quickly and doing that early saves you a lot of time and energy.Your approach is my school of thought.
she wasn't still hungry?
First- I think you should ask your doctor.
Second- I am not qualified to answer this question.
Third- I think I read somewhere that you shouldn't let them cry it out when they are really little. Something about they need to feel comforted when they are crying under 5 months or something. But, this could be a different situation totally.(maybe you should check out the internet.)
Fourth- Maybe it has something to do with the cradle?? Maybe she hates it for some reason. Maybe it isn't soft enough? Warm enough? I don' t know.
Fifth- Ask your doctor.
Bri, we certainly will ask our doctor next week. She has slept in her cradle, and her crib. The night tends to be a totally different situation than the day. During the day, they can sleep pretty much anywhere (including the cradle). This is changing somewhat (they have been awake all day today and Laurin loves it). Up until now, they would sleep anywhere during the day and as soon as it passed ~10PM she wont sleep anywhere. They tell us it has to do with them being used to being more active when Laurin would be laying down at night. We are exaggerating a bit as things seem worse when you are dealing with two. If one gets off schedule (not sleeping after feeding, feeding slow, etc) then it makes it much tougher on us at night and seems like noone is sleeping. Even during her worst nights she sleeps some in the cradle (at least three hours) but when you have another one the downtime between feedings/pumpings/bottle cleanings/changings gets tight and prevents any sleep for us.
I don't know how you guys do it -- hang in there. It will all get easier someday -- well, at least you will get sleep someday. I promise. Plus, isn't it fun being sleep deprvied? It's like being drunk 24-7.
We went through this with Nick 28 years ago. The doctor said to let him cry for no longer than 30 minutes. He said Bob should go in there and just rub his back so he would know we were still there, but not to pick him up. I was not to go in the room. We tried it the first night and did as he said. Nick cried for 29 minutes, went to sleep and slept through the night from then on.
We know very little about babies. In fact, I looked at some of the Flikr photos and didn't know you needed some of the objects that your little girls have! Matthew thinks ebay is appropriate, but really what does he know.
So we asked the peds consult in the living room. He recommended letting her cry for a little as long as you think she is still consolable. Basically like what Mrs. Perl said. He, of course, like any good doc further hedged and said ask your own doctor.
Glad the posts are back. We missed the updates/pictures.
Disclaimer - I've never dealt with twins.
I'll interject a bit of controversy with this, but here goes. First off, I really think you need to lower your expectations. They don't even have days/nights figured out at this point. Every kid is going to be different when it comes to sleep patterns. People that swear their kid was sleeping through the night by blah blah blah are either very lucky or lying. You need to do what you are comfortable with. Asking your doctor will get you predictable answers. Generally a let them cry it out approach. You'll never hear anything other than the prevailing sleep solutions. They have liability insurance to think about. We chose to co-sleep from birth with both of our kids. Feel free to call the dpw. It's a great solution for parent/child bonding. It's practiced all over the world, but it does take a level of responsibility that is not always there. We felt the rewards outweighed the risks. Twins are a different situation, and would certainly add complexity to the arrangement. I'm sure many people would be appalled by the "danger" of allowing your twins to nap together. Do what feels right. They'll go to college either way. They might even play football if you get it right.
as a parent, i love to give advice--often unsolicited:), but since you asked that is even better and i am more than happy to oblige with my wisdom, because of course, i have many answers:) (yeah right)
with cambel (child #1), we tried to let him cry, but it didn't work and it made me feel terrible. so we used the baby whisperer techniques--which encourages independent sleep, but not letting them cry it out. for me, this was a happy medium between letting him scream forever and holding him all night. he was a tough baby and the baby whisperer book was really helpful. plus they have a website where you can ask questions-very helpful.
with child #2 i decided that all the "patting and shushing" (baby whisperer techniques) were not going to happen as often b/c we have 2 now and was tired of it. so we tried letting ada cry, and it worked. she is much more laid back than cambel, so that made it easier. she sleeps through the night now.
the best advice i have heard is: teach them to sleep independently early on and whatever method you use, stick to it.
good luck. i hope you start getting some sleep soon!

Here's some blog information about letting your baby cry!
Sounds like you're getting lots of good advice. I think a little fussing is normal. Try their cribs, they may like them more than the cradles. Worth a try. Maybe a warm bath, bottle and bed? Works for me( of course, a wine bottle is what I prefer...)
