Sleep & Twins, just a dream?

Question

Our babes are one month old and only sleep 2-3 hours at a time. When did your twins start sleeping longer? Am I just dreaming that I will ever get more than three hours of sleep for the next 18 years?😭😭😭😭

Answer

I started introducing the bottle at 10 weeks with my baby boys, I was farrrrr too tired to keep breastfeeding them both, done night when they were cluster feeding I was only having 1/2 hour between feeds. 
But when I introduced the bottle, the slept from 8pm - 6am. It felt like a miracle! 
They now sleep 8pm -7 am every night :) 
We have a fantastic routine & I swear that is the key to happy babies. 
Mine are now 6mths old today and they really are fantastic. 
Always stay one step a head & you'll be fine. Good luck xx

Answer

Mine are 2yo and started sleeping 6-8 hour stretches at 4 months. However, in the 2 yr roller coaster we've experienced many weeks of full nights sleep and then regressions at times even now when one feels at 4am they want to be in my bed and tells me they slept with mommy the next morning lol. Enjoy the good weeks, know there will be "are we really back here" weeks, and may they learn to actually sleep in at some point :)

Answer

My twins are 7yo and my husband and I split overnight duty on them. Baby A was his (usually woke once, and took forever) and Baby B (woke twice but ate quickly) was mine. I would wake them both and feed them and start the day together at 6 or 7a, fed together throughout the day,  And put them to bed after a bath together. 
By 8-9 weeks they both were sleeping all night. Twins are exhausting but you'll make it!!!

Answer

My twins started sleeping through the night at 2 1/2 months! You'll get there don't worry! This time goes by so fast, you don't think so now, but you'll look back and miss those nighttime feedings.

Answer

My girls at 3 1/2 months and are sleeping 8-10 hours at night! Only started happening in the last two weeks. In the beginning I felt like I would never get any sleep either, but hang in there it will come!

Answer

We were not getting any sleep since we had to feed the twins at least every 3 hours and wake them up to feed so that they could gain weight. At their 2 month appt their weight gain was great and the doctor gave us the ok to feed on demand at night!!! So now the longest stretch is about 5 hours. 🙌🏻 still tough bc I have to pump, but can just let them sleep and I can go back to sleep.
