If you're 1, why are you

Crying in your sleep?

Both why do you hate me so much you're doing it and what is making you cry?

There's a puppet on Baby Einstein he doesn't like and a crab on CBeebies he's unsure of.

Or is it his twin stealing his bagel?

How older brother commandeering his toys?

Daddy leaving the room without a formal goodbye?

What exactly do they have nightmares about and what the frig do I do about them.

They like to start about midnight. Calmed about 1 once I'd gone past tired. Restarted again.

I'm sorry OP.

It's a sod.

Do you have a partner? Are they doing their bit?

The lack of sleep is awful. They do get bigger though. Not much help at this time sorry.

Yeah he'll get up with them in the morning so I can catch up which has been good over as but back to school run Monday with DS who doesn't like school so can't sleep in then.

Both babies are quote noisy by T2 is a horror. I've turned up the heating as he feels a bit cool and hoping that will send him deeper into sleep

That's fine til his brother catches it and then I can't have both on bed with me because they annoy each other as there isn't room so I end up playing baby swaps. Had to put T2 in with me as he finds it hard to get back to sleep but he wouldn't settle and then T2 woke up properly and started crying so now they're both in bed with 4am bottles because I'm a bad Mom

You’re not a bad mummy - they’re safe, loved and will go off again after this bottle. I’ve just put T1 down after a 40 minute feed and T2 is beginning to stir again (been up 3 times so far since bedtime) they’re 16m and I’d love them to sleep through. Totally get crying in their sleep because one has taken the other’s toy or is 1mm closer to mummy than they are. Often we end up with them both in bed with us just to get a couple of hours sleep!!

Its not easy at that age. My first was a good sleeper from 18 months, thought the 2nd would be the same. He's nearly 5 and still wakes, it was horrendous when he was younger I lost the will to live at times!

Have you tried a sleepyhead? They are designed to make child feel like they are being snuggled all night. Sometimes they can be found cheap on ebay.

Ok you totally have it worse as you're also breastfeeding. Hope you get some catch up sleep today. We need a bigger bed
