Hand hold? Night 6 sleep training

[okayokaywhatsnext]

Still not improving. Twins are champion nappers and ‘nap gaps’/wake times are ok but they just cannot stay asleep once asleep. Bed times are ok but the first wake is just hideous. Doing modified Ferber (timed check ins) and now on 17 minutes. 😭 DH is patting and shushing them. Trying not to feed until 2am.

How old are they? I'm on night 2001 (or so it feels, it's actually week 4) of sleep training my 1yo. Shes got good at going down at the beginning of the night but isn't self settling when she wakes. Like now
