Hi. We really need some advice about gettings our twins to sleep. One of them has always been cuddled / rocked to sleep. She sleeps fairly well. Through the night a couple of times a week. The other one had a dummy which we took away when she was 11 months only to replace it with rocking! We didn't think that one through! She wakes at least 2-3 times in the night and only settles when she's cuddling me in bed and even then wriggles all night and looks for me every now and then. We don't know where to begin getting them to sleep on their own. They cry when we put them in their cots unless it is to play. Even then they cry to come out within 5 minutes. (They share a room) Having them in our bed when they wake in the night isn't too bad but we really need to be able to get them to sleep in their room in their cots. I'm a soft touch and I don't want to traumatise them. They hate me leaving the room during the day let alone at night! Any advice would be great!
