Help! Sleeping through the night at 10 months?

[glasshalfsomething]

So anyone who recognise my user names means this isn’t the first post like this I’ve started. And that may be indicative that I’m struggling to stick with any one ‘method’.

Situation is:

Twins - 10m old.
Both go down at 6.30ish (struggle to keep them awake longer).

T1 wakes between 1-3 for a bottle; takes about 6-7oz and goes back down to 7am. This I can live with.

T2 wakes for dummy a few times a night, for a bottle between 1-4.30. After 4 it’s a struggle to get him back to sleep. We’ve resorted to bringing in to our bed so we all doze until about 6.15-6.30.

In nursery so day naps aren’t great. Often two 30mins - but can be a 30 and a 90min. It varies so much.

I know consistency is key, but without influencing day naps, how can I improve night sleep.

Due to loads of colds, bugs and teething I’ve struggled to take away those night feeds, but it does feel like I need to start.

Perhaps I could page @fatedestiny for some help?

I found that the better my DD sleeps in the day, the better she sleeps at night.

Making sure she is full up with bottle and her evening food helps.

Are they warm enough? My DD was waking up and I put her in a cosy sleep bag and she now sleeps 6.30-7.30.

Can T2 not put dummy in on their own? I found this was a game changer now she can put it back in when she wakes!

Might not help but if I think of anything else, I will let you know

Thanks @Vigg1984. I think I have all those points covered.

They eat well at nursery and have a late dinner and 8oz bottle before bed.

The day sleep is what I struggle to control due to nursery, but even on my days off if they get good naps there’s still evening wakes.

Sleeping in vests, babygrows, 2.5 tog bags and we have a heater for when the room temp drops overnight. Normally around 18-19. Could probably try to push that higher. Will give it a go.

Keep the ideas coming!

What about doing a wake>feed when you/DH go to bed? The idea would be that you wake baby and "reset" the night. So put a clean nappy on, a big bottle and good wind. Then resettle back to sleep.

Fingers crossed is that the outcome is 11pm-6/7am sleeping through. Or, any wakes are a quick dummy resettle without fully waking up.

Oh, I would be up for trying that. Might work as I’m sure T2 still just gets hungry ( leaven though he’s 91st percentile).

Thank for answering the bat call @FATEdestiny
