Sleep habits change around 1 month???

Anyone else notice a change in their sleeping habits and temperament around a month old??? OMG, the past couple nights have been awful!!  So we give them a bottle around 9-11pm (depends on when their last feeding was) and then we put them to sleep.  Sometimes it would take 30 min to get them to fall asleep, but the past two nights they have been wide awake after the last feeding!  Last night for example we fed them at 9:30pm and could not get them to fall asleep until 1:30am!  We rocked them, put them in bouncy seats, tried the swings, etc...  We tried swaddling, feeding them more, changing their diapers, music, etc... nothing worked!!  Hannah finally fell asleep around 12:30am, but Lily not until 1:30am.  Lily did sleep until 6am though, so at least that was nice!  I just ordered Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Twins and hopefully that will give me some good advice.  We've also tried keeping them up before their last feeding and letting them sleep before the last feeding and both times it was really hard to get them to sleep for the night.  Not to mention the past couple days Lily has been extremely fussy from 6-9pm...  I just want my sweet sleep loving babies back!

No advice but lots of sympathy.  Mine are exactly a week younger than yours and we are struggling with the same thing.  And ours were on the same schedule until a day or two ago when now one wants to wake up and play before eating and the other wants to play after eating.

ugh!  luckily ours are pretty good at bedtime.  we feed them and put them to bed awake.  they don't fuss, but sometimes take a bit to fall asleep.  out of curiousity, how much are you feeding them at that last feeding?  i nurse for all feedings except 12 and 3 (where we bottle feed at i pump).  i give them 2.5-3.5 ounces at these feedings.  is that about what you give yours?
