Hi!

Question - are they napping from 9:30 to 10:00 or do they go to sleep between 9:30 and 10:00? 

What I would do is concentrate on getting the afternoon nap in.  If you are feeding before the nap, that's ok as long as not feeding to sleep.  Also, if you are putting them down for a nap a little later and sleep through the feeding, just feed when they wake up.  You may end up having somewhat of a cluster feed, but that's ok.  This may help with their night sleep.

Also, it is ok to start combining their bottles with their meals - it becomes much easier too if they will drink from a sippy cup as you can feed while they drink...
