So I have to AW

.....my 4 1/2 twins are sleeping 10-12 hours a night and taking two good naps a day....so not wanting to jinx myself but it does get better people.  This is a pretty big deal for us only bc they relied heavily on the swaddle.  We had to transition to the sleep sacks and do some mild (very mild) CIO. Best thing we ever did though....they are happy and smiling and well rested. Yes, we have our off days and I'm sure we will have our hiccups but right now I'm just thankful. When I have the twis and my three year old in bed by 7 every night I want to do a happy dance :)

Re: So I have to AW

  • So, we are in swaddles right now and they are starting to break out of them.  When that happens the "rock star arms" (as I call them), start to fly around and end up waking them up.  With the sleep sack, are you still putting their arms down in it or leaving them out?? So jealous....

  • No....The sleep sacks their arms are out. Their arms went a little nutty at first :)  They just have to learn to get used to it....you may have a rough couple days.  We transitioned a little before four months. You may have to let them cry....not full on CIO but let them cry for like 5-10 minutes and see what happens. One of my girls finally found her thumb : )
