Sleep training twins

[Sycamor]

Any twin mums can help me out?
My DTs are 10mnths and recently starting to go without nite feeds. However when they wake thro the nite I cosleep. They have started crawling over each other and waking each other in the nite and no one is getting enough sleep. They currently use dummies and are fed to sleep. Not great at self settling but it happens occasionally.
I did gradual withdrawal with DD but I can imagine this working with twins.
Any advice would be great.

Hiya I have 6 month twins with exactly the same problem so hoping someone has some answers!

I wish I had some advice for you! Have you tried getting rid of the dummies? Or the pick up put down method in the cots?

I always try, but when they wake in the night I'm so shattered I bring them straight into bed as I know it will be quiet that way and there will be some sleep no matter how broken! Keep saying im going to practice sleep training every night, but having twins is completely exhausting as it is!

Please post anything you find that helps!! Xx

I'm blatantly place marking because my twins are only 4.5 months.

Our 23mo still gets into bed with DH when he wakes. One of DTs is a great sleeper and usually only wakes once for a feed but the other ends up in with me by about 12.

Can't imagine having all 3 in the bed at 3/4am in a few months time!!!

Are they in their own room?

I was in your situation op, and, after a night of hell, when both dts fell out of bed, dtd bit me, dts kneed me in the nose and I put my teeth through my lip, etc, I decided enough was enough.

I put both of them in their cots (which are still in our room) awake, and sat in the middle, and tried to ignore the tantrums. First night wasn't too bad, 2nd night was better, 3rd night nearly broke me.

I found that once they were self settling at bedtime, they were much better during the night, and they both now go down by 6.30, and sleep until 7. They were 16 months when I started, but I really wish I'd done it earlier, for everyone's sake.

I won't pretend it was easy, because it really wasn't, and took probably 6 weeks until I could pop them down, say goodnight, and walk away, but it was worth it.

Nousername. Thank you. I've been desperately trying to think of a way to sleep train which doesn't involve screaming twins waking each other up. I think ur way is the only realistic way forward and its useful to know how long it took u etc.
Jenhad84. I did try PUPD but my bad sleeper just woke my good sleeper up and my heart wasn't in it so I didn't persevere.
Think I need to commit to a plan then see it thro.
