  • I think it depends on the kids and on your individual situation. For us there wasn't really a magic age when it all got better. It was more gradual. But what I can assure you is that it does get better, MUCH better!

  • When J and K were about two months old, I realized it wasn't so bad anymore and I was actually getting four or five hour stretches of sleep. Hopefully it won't be too much longer for you!

     

  • Depends on the twins ;

  • ahhh...the trenches.  At least we are not alone, right?  Right?   

  • I hope so too! It's gotten a little easier lately (mine are 11 wks), though I don't know if it's that the babies are easier or if I've just gotten that much more confident/used to life with them. It's also gotten way more rewarding; my guys are super smil

  • Mine are 4 weeks tomorrow.. and I totally feel your pain. :)  Somehow they have decided that sleeping soundly during the day is more fun that sleeping quietly at night.  I was definitely spoiled with our first because he was such a sound sleeper

  • The first 3-4 months are so so hard! DH and I took shifts so we each got a 4 hour stretch of sleep. It was also more gradual for us. We'd get a night of the babies sleeping 8 hours and then the next night we'd be up a few times.
