So I've posted before... I have now four month old b/g twins (plus a 3 yo!). I feed them to sleep at night but, so far, they sleep wonderfully (v aware this might all be about to change!). They're reliably asleep by 7.45 after bedtime at 7 (after bath etc with DD) and, if I dream feed at 11, wake once at 3ish. If I don't dream feed and just collapse into bed, they wake at 1 and 5. But yes, I totally feed them to sleep...
Nap times are... Interesting. They have fallen into a routine of:
8.30
11.30
2.30/45
Catnap in sling at 5
All pretty normal for their age I think.
Morning nap has to be in the pram for pre school run or dog walk. DD kept that morning nap until a year and a bit I think. Equally the 2.45 nap is mostly in the pram for the afternoon school run.
I envisage the catnap in late afternoon being dropped in due course and eventually being left with the 11.30 nap getting later until its 12.30ish... And that being the lunchtime/afternoon nap that sticks.
So... I'm working on getting that 11.30 nap looong and in the cot. For a week now I've been mimicking bedtime routine (nappy change, dark bedroom, sleeping bags, white noise, feed) and doing pick up/ put down, plus a bit of leaving them to cry for (literally) a couple of minutes. No joy. 11.30-1 just ends up being a haze (for them) of very sleepy crying in a dark room, settling then startling etc... Argh!
Is it too soon? Twins plus toddler means I do need a cot nap at some point...
Should I [whispers] Ferberize...?
