sleeping schedule

Long... sorry!!!

How old were your twins when they started sleeping through the night and waking up around the same time each morning? And, are they just on a bottle or solids too? How many ounces are they eating during each feed?  

Mine are 5 months.  They eat every 4 hours during the day. On average they eat between 4-5 ounces at a time. The last bottle before bed they will eat maybe 6 if we are lucky. They were on solids but may have had an allergy so I DC'd for now and will start them up again soon. They are a little over 5 months but really 4 months due to being born early.. so maybe too soon for solids?   I can't seem to get them on a schedule where they eat at the same time every day because one day they will wake up around 4 or 5 and like today they slept unil 7ish.  So some nights their last bottle will be around 9, others a little later or even earlier.  Now that they are a little older they don't take naps as long either during the day and for some reason they are now on opposite schedules, I have no idea how this happened. By the time I get the other one down for a nap, her sister wakes up.

 Any suggestions on forming a schedule for them to follow that works??  I would love to have them eat around the same time every day and wake up around the same time if possible... is it possible??!!!   Thanks.

Mine are also 5 mos, 4 mos adjusted.  We plan to start solids in a week or two.  One STTN 6:45-6:45.  One wakes for a bottle at 2-3am.  One sometimes wakes for a bottle and sometimes doesn't.  Today he woke at 4:45 and we fed him and put him back down.  Then we got them all up at 7am and they all had their first bottle of the day together at 7:30.  They will get a bottle every 3 hours till bedtime at 6:45. 

 So basically we just start their day off together regardless of how their schedules differ overnight.  We offer 5 6.5 oz. bottles during the day and overnight we offer about 5 ounces once for the ones who wake.  The don't always take the whole 6.5oz.
