Put them back into their cots?

how long has it been? DT1 was a real pain when we first put them in beds but after a few nights she gave in.

feel that putting them back in cots would be a step back, they can also climb out, it has been 7 nights, have had a couple of gooduns though probabley because they were too tired from previous night to put up a fight. just finding rapid returning 2 abit farcicle, they also find it hilarious which doesnt help.

hello, please could you let me know how you got on? Im in exactly the same situation right now and I'm stuck. all my friends are putting their singletons into beds now and having a couple of nights of problems, but my otherwise perfect children have turned into mini yobs, pulling the curtains out of the wall, emptying the wardrobe etc.... and basically egging each other on......please help!!!

God - you have my sympathy - I remember those days only too well - have to say I ended up separating them (b/g - now 4) as it didn't settle down even after a couple of weeks.

Is there any chance of separating yours - putting one in with older sibling/in with you? Even just for a short while?

If you can't do that, maybe what another twin mum suggested while mine were being a nightmare and take everything out of bedroom other than bed/bedding - and if possible put them in sleeping bags - means there is less to get chucked about/played with so may lose interest and go to sleep more quickly?
