This is a normal issue . I suggest getting some really think blankets, only put her in a onsie, and then swaddle her like that. She wont over heat.

Swaddling made the biggest difference for me.  You can find lightweight swaddle blankets.  Best advice I can give you is to try different places to see where the baby sleeps the best.  My DS slept in his car seat for 6 months.  My DD slept in a Rock-N-Play.  Sometimes a swing worked well.  Another thing that helped was a white noise machine.  Good luck...you will make it through!!
