Sleeping...One baby up every 2 hours.. help!

Babies are now over 6 weeks old... I am clueless what to do here... One twin is up every 2 hours wanting to eat... i've been feeding the other at that time also, but not sure if that's the best choice.  This every 2 hour business is killing me.  Help!  Any suggestions??

  • Good question !!! I am wondering this too...  
  • i just went thru about a week of this. Caden really helped me out...

    Are you sure that twin is hungry?  Make sure you exhaust your resources before feeding, offer paci, change diap if needed, rock back to sleep.  

    This is what I would do and then if i saw baby still rooting and upset and i would make decision to feed and get other one up about 30 mins later...to keep close together.  I quickly noticed that 75% of the time, baby went back to sleep until his normal feeding time.  Im still learning babies cues and cries so its not easy and of course i dont want to starve a child...

    maybe your LO is going thru a growth spurt?
