Nap help

Hi all! I hope you don't mind me popping over to ask you a question. I used to be a reg on the nest, but I've had my hands full lately and hasn't made it over here.

Background: I have b/g twins that were born at 34w5d. They are now almost 14 weeks. I feel like things have gotten easier in some ways, but I still feel like I am doing nothing right.

They are 90% breastfed, with an occasional bottle before bed. They are incredibly SLOW eaters. I can count on one hand how many times a feeding has finished in less than an hour. One of them is always falling asleep on the pillow, but the second I move them they wake up. Of course if I want them to wake up to eat, they are dead to the world until I put them in their swing ir RNP. When they do nap, it's never at the same time.

How did you get your twins on the same nap schedule and when? How did this work if you were feeding on demand? I feel like everyone already has their babies on nap schedules and I'm lucky to feel like I survived the day.

Any help/suggestions are welcome. TIA

Re: Nap help

  • I am trying to remember what we did at 14 weeks. My babies were only bottle fed. So we would feed them around every three hours. If they were sleeping they got woken up. If one was awake ,we woke the other one. And at that age after eating and being changed they usually took a nap.

    I don't know if this was helpful,but remember what works for one set of twins does not always work for tours. Do not compare yourself.

    Good luck
