Hello, I wonder if anyone can help/advise. I have twins who are 7.5 months actual, 6.5 adjusted. They were utterly horrendous sleepers for the first few months and it was a very rough time. They improved a lot when weaned at 5 months but now they are waking very early and I feel that I have so little capacity to deal with more sleep deprivation. They generally go to bed around 7.45 and fall asleep about 8.15. I DF at 10.30 and they take breast plus a full 6 oz of formula. They then sometimes wake at 1 or 2 but go down fairly easily, then wake inconsolable at 3-4. I feed them then (breast and maybe an oz or 2 from bottle) and they settle well, but then they wake again at 5.15 and want to either be on the boob dozing for hours (won't take a bottle at this feed) or, if I try to settle them without feeding, they wake up properly and scream and are then up for the day. If it was 1 baby I would be quite happy to lie them down next to me and let them bf and doze (I remember doing this with DD1) but with 2 it's impossible. I'm so fed up and exhausted now, in the month of them sleeping half decently the days were so much easier to cope with but now I'm starting to feel v negative and resentful again. They usually nap 9.30 tob10.30 then 1.30 to 2.30. They were taking a catnap 5-5.30 but on the advice of lots of people I cut this out last week. Unfortunately they're v tired in the late afternoon so will drop off if we go out in the car. So for the past 3 days I have just stayed in with them for the whole afternoon which means they have been up from last nap at 2.30 until bedtime- and they still have been waking up at 5! I am going insane. I feel like I still haven't recovered properly from the insane sleep derivation of the first couple of months and have no reserves left. Can anyone help???
