Hi. My B/G twins are just over 6 mo, and at the moment I am still breast feeding them when they wake at night, usually 3 or 4 times a night (grrr). With my elder daughter I night weaned at 9 months, by just cuddling and soothing her back to sleep instead of feeding and within just 3 days she was pretty consistently sleeping through. So I am just starting to think about when/how on earth I might do the same with these two. I am not planning on doing CC/CIO, I/we will be there comforting them, but there will inevitably be quite a bit of crying involved.
So, does anyone have any experience of this? Do we do it with one at a time, put them into separate rooms to do it (which would involve one being in our room probably), just do it with both at the same time (again, in the same room?). Do we assign one twin to me and one to DH and just stick with them, or go in alternate times to whoever....Generally they don't disturb each other, or DD1 who sleeps next door, but I'm not sure if this would still be the case if one kicks off just after the other has been finally persuaded to go back to sleep without a feed.....etc etc. just wondering if anyone has any pearls of wisdom for me!
Thanks in advance.
