different bed times

Anyone else have twins or triplets with different bed times? If so, did they eventually sync up? Dylan has to go to bed by 6:30 or he completely melts down from being over tired. Ryan doesn't ever stay down unless he is put to bed after 7:30 and usually closer to 8. Despite this, they both still wake up at the same times for motn feedings, so at least that's easier. Its just hard having bed time last for hours when dh is working late or is out of town.

Re: different bed times

  • How old are they? I keep mine on the same schedule and always have. No middle of the nite feedings since 4 months old though.

  • Are they on the same schedule during the day?  Mine have also been on the exact same schedule since day one, but I have read that it is easier to sync their sleeping if they are identical.  I have no idea if that is true, but mine are ID and they have always been extremely similar.  Now if one wakes up earlier for naps and in the morning I just leave them in their crib until the other wakes.  We haven't done night feedings since 11 weeks.

  • Yep. If I can, meaning no one wakes them up and messes me up, I always bathe Drake second and feed him then put him to bed. If this happens he will usually sleep all night. I prefer it to be between 6 and 7 when he goes down. Bentley will nap after bathtime until 8 or 9 then get his bottle and go down and will normally sleep all night. If they both go down at the same time at least one of them gets up in the night. It's crazy.

  • They are four months old. I do keep them on the same schedule during the day. Ryan always fights going to bed until we figured out he wants to stay up a little later. Just curious if anyone else has this experience too. We were down to one motn feeding until 4 month wakeful/ crib transition / breaking the swaddle all happened. Hoping nights get easier again soon.
