Do you wake one in the morning if other wakes?

Anna woke up over an hour ago and has already nursed some and is probably ready for her bottle supplement.  Olivia is sound asleep in her crib.  Should I have woken Olivia up when Anna got up?  It seems crazy to wake her from a sound sleep!

How old are they?

We always woke the other up when one woke up...it eventually got them on the same sleep/feed cycle.

I've tried it both ways, and usually regret it if I don't try to keep them on either the same or a staggered schedule (e.g. feed one, then wake the other right away and feed him, so they're only off by about 1/2 hr). If they're completely off from each other, then their naptime barely overlaps which means I have no time to nap myself or shower, do laundry and dishes, pay bills, etc.

i did until about 8 months, when joey started sttn, he is such a good sleeper, and likes to sleep in....whereas his brother is a horrible sleeper, and wakes up as early as possible..

joey will usually wake up about 30 min-hour after ronnie does..if he doesn't i will always wake him by 7:30 to keep their nap schedules together, and just to get him started....sometimes he could sleep so much longer if i let him!

i just go in the nursery, open the blinds, turn on the light and say good morning, and with that he usually wakes up happy ?

I will wake the baby up after I have finished feeding the first one.  It helps keep them on the same schedule.  We have been doing this since they came home from the hospital and now I rarely wake one up because they wake up on their own because they know it is feeding time.

The only time I don't wake them is at night because I am working on getting them to STTN.
