I'm pretty sure I can count on both my hands the number of times both twins slept through the night. Lately the they've been waking up at either 1:30 or 2:30 ( exactly 4 hours after their dream feed) eating 2 oz and then stay up for an hour to play. They chat and giggle with each other and it literally takes an hour of holding them before they start to act tired at all. I'm tired and pregnant, which means I'm sick when I get up to help them, and I need this to stop. I'm so frustrated. what can I do to stop waking up, and if they do wake up, how can I stop them talking to each other?
Here is my schedule:
WU 6:30 bottle (2 and 4 oz)
A
E 8:00 solids and top up (4 and 2 oz)
A
S 9:30
WU 11:30 (and 10:30 the one twin only sleeps about an hour)
E (3 and 4 oz)
a
E lunch solids and top up (2 and 2)
A
S 2:00
E 3:30 (4 and 4 oz)
A
E solids (5:00 solids)
A
E dinner with dad (they just play with their food here, but I thought it important to have dinner as a family)
WD 6:30 bath, change, night bottle(6 and 6), story, lights out
Bt 7:30
DF 9:30 - yes, we've tried to get them to quit it, but I think the NW are a little more pressing (2 and 2 oz).
NW 1:30 - always exactly 4 hours after their last feed and they eat 2 oz
They go down for sleep and naps (besides the NW) fairly well.
