My 2 year old is in a good routine but she's a crazy girl and loves to RUN so I know she'd be out of bed and leaping around like a nutter! Think some kids are more grown up than others. Maybe your twins are a bit like my toddler and maybe best to wait til later to switch to beds???

They are 2 and a quarter. Oldest is 4 and we had no problem getting him into a bed before 2. He loved it and felt really grown up. He went to bed and stopped in bed although we did find lots of toys in with him but he went to sleep on his own and we didnt have to go up. As long as your 2 year old has a good routine I'd go for it now. They are easier to deal with at 2 - at 3 they start pushing their boundaries more. We just took him to bed read him a story and said goodnight.
Problem with twins is they egg each other on and get over excited so cant settle.
We still have no problem getting oldest to bed at night. He is always asleep before the twins. I dont know how they manage all day. Stopping naps doesnt help either because they start falling asleep on settee at tea time.

my thread here

Dont know if it will have info that might help, but maybe between us we can find some solutions that might work.

I hope too, that some people with twins can give you more specific advice too.

You poor thing .

I have just posted a thread about sleep too, will get the link for you. Sounds similar, apart from not having twins, or another child to look after.

Makes my sleeping problems look like nothing!

How old are they? I still have my nearly 2 year old in a cot (in an inside out sleeping bag so she can't unzip and escape!) and I'm planning/hoping to keep it this way until she's nearly 3. I'm following the advice of dare I say Gina Ford!
Hope someone more experienced can help you.

Help - twin DS's still awake at 9.45 and shattered. They have recently gone from cots to beds -what a disaster. Always had a bedtime routine. Used to go to bed in cots mess around but fall asleep about 8ish. Now going to bed and climbing in and out and just causing stress and no downtime. We have got a gate on their door so they cant wander downstairs. We've tried lying with them but dont want to get into this routine for fear of making this the norm and not fair on 4 year old DS. Tried ignoring them, going in and putting them back to bed nothing is working. Its getting later and later each night DH cant always be at home either due to work commitments so its down to me some nights. Kids tired and irritable all day as result. Cant give them separate rooms. How long is this going to go on for and help please
