Please tell me your routine for 7 month old twins

[NickettyNacketty]

thank you

Hi Nicketty

We're not exactly what you're looking for (twins are 6mo), but this is our routine:

6.30-7am: wake up, nappy change, bottle feed. They sometimes go back down for a cat nap after their bottle
8-8.30am: get up and dressed
9.15am: puree fruit and milk
10am: nap
12noon: puree veg and milk
12.30pm: nap
2.30pm: bottle
3.15pm: nap
4.30pm: puree veg
6.15pm: take them upstairs, bath, bottle and bed by 7pm
10.15pm: bottle

All times are approximate and subject to change! Hope that is helpful in some way.

Great yes. Thanks. Anymore?

Hi,

Twins are 7.5 months - they have to fit in with DD1 (~2.5) so all times are subject to change too..

6:30-7am - breastfed/7oz EBM
8-8:30am - breakfast (ready brek and pureed fruit/yoghurt + water)
9:00 - dressed + teeth (tooth!) brushed
9:30-10am - generally go out to the park/coffee/shops etc. The twins sleep for
30-45 mins on average
11:30am - breastfed/7oz EBM
12:30pm - lunch (some sort of organic savoury pouch followed by similiar sweet
pouch + water)
1-3pm - nap
3:30pm - breastfed/7oz EBM
4:30-5pm - dinner (same as lunch... )
5:30pm - nappy off time
5:45-6pm - bath
6:30pm - breastfed/7oz EBM then bed.

I also give them finger food with every meal - chunks of carrot/apple/pasta etc or whatever their big sister is getting.

They are plonked in bouncers/jumperoos/playmats etc when not doing the above and generally fend for themselves (whilst being mauled by DD1)

Hello - this is not ideal but the best we can manage at the moment:
730ish Breastfeed
830ish solid Breakfast (we are BLWing so porridge fingers etc)y
10ish Breastfeed
1030 out - twins nap in buggy/car
12 lunch
130 breastfeed
2 nap in cot (for up to an hour if I am lucky)
3 45-60 min walk outside in buggy
5 tea
6 bathtime and breastfeed
7 bed
Then they wake from 1 to 4 times each in the night. I nearly always feed back to sleep.

In between they are in playgym or bouncer with me in kitchen or being cuddled on a bad day.

Mine are erm erm 7.5 months (19th april) and HAVE to fit in around the girl twins of 3 years and elder brother of 4 years.

7am wake up
7.30 breakfast (weetabix and a 7oz bottle but dont drink it all)
nap between 9 and 10ish depends if I walk to school or OH takes them, if they go to bed then between 10 and 11 sleep)
12-1 is lunch - food and yogurt and going to try them on more solids this week
1.30-3 is afternoon nap time
4.30 is dinner time of food and pudding but trying more solids.
7.30 is supper or weetabix and 7oz bottle.

They have just got over broncolitis and dropped all milk in the day so now have water offered every food time and through the day and between dinner and supper is manic jumping about in the jumparoo, play ring, sitting up, rolling about the floor etc.

Forgot to say mine are 7.5 weeks and don't have older siblings (am in awe of you all)

When mine were 7 months they were as follows:

7am (ish) breastfeed
8am breaskfast
8:30am nap
10am breastfeed
11:30am lunch
12:30pm nap
2:30pm breastfeed
5pm dinner
6:30pm breastfeed
7pm bed
11pm breastfeed
sometimes woke about 3am for feed

At about 8 mths we dropped the dream feed
At about 9 mths they dropped the morning feed
At about 11 mths they dropped the afternoon feed
At 12 mths I dropped the 7am one
At 13 months we fully weaned (then wished we hadn't!)

Thanks all. Very helpful.
