Twin baby sleep
Show your support
Don't panic! This is normal for 2 week old babies , you just have 2 of them ! From about 10 weeks our twins were doing 4-5 hours stretches (together) and from 12 week onwards they sleep through from 7 pm -7 am with only one dream feed about midnight They get used to eachother and sleeping next to eachother pretty quickly it's very early days xxx
Ah congrats on your twinnies! Yes it was like this at first! When one woke for a feed we did wake the other one up too and feed them to try and keep them on sort of same schedule or it would be v v broken sleep. It does get better quickly tho! By three months they were only waking up once in the night after their dream feed at 10. Try and get as much rest as you can in between feeds in the day too. It does get better quickly! Xx
It was like this for a while for us. Probably the first 8 weeks. Then eventually the time got longer and long. Now at 6 months they sleep from 19:30-05:30, fed and sometimes bum change and then back to sleep for a few more hours. 1/3 of the time they sleep through to 07:30/08:00
The first 7/8 weeks are really rough with 2 and sleep is non existent! But if you have family support use it as much as you can as you need your sleep too. It will get easier but don't set any expectations these early weeks ! Also congratulations 💕
Congratulations!! It is tough. The first few weeks but I noticed things changing around week 4. Have you tried swaddling? That worked wonders for me. Also putting the tshirt I had been wearing in with the boys so they could smell me. Hang in there x
It was the same for us in the first few weeks as they don't know the difference between day and night initially. You do get into more of a routine eventually though. We had family come over to rock them while we had a few hours sleep. Is that possible?
