Twin Sleeping Schedules
Twin sleeping schedules can definitely be an agonizing subject, frequently during the first year with twins. Much like feeding schedules, most parents will try to enforce some kind of routine. Also, much like feeding schedules, this may not always work. Many parents will consider letting their babies

during the early months if it truly seems to help. To save your sanity and get some rest yourself, put into practice a sound sleep routine as soon as your twins are born. This generally works well following a feeding and/or play time for naps and a feeding and/or bath for bed time. Most children fall into a steady routine without difficulty. The more you are able to keep twins on the same eating and sleeping program, the easier it will become. There will always be good days and bad days when it comes to sleeping.

Quotes:
"Having my twins in the NICU for a month was grueling. But boy, those nurses got them on great sleep schedules that continued even when we brought them home...What a help!" "My twins actually went to sleep much easier than my singleton ever did. I think it was the comfort of being together in the same room that helped." "I always found that my twins fell asleep much easier after some type of physical activity - like time on their tummies or even a stroller ride around the neighborhood."
Tip:
As your twins get a bit older try giving a larger meal before bedtime to help with getting them through the night without extra feedings. It seems like heaven when twins finally both sleep an entire night! |
