    I always found it was based from feeding. If I could feed them at the same time then it was more likely I could get them sleep at the same time. DS was a little more challenging and I did end up splitting rooms to assist with this. Are you feeding simultaneously?

    Usually I feed them at the same time but sometimes it's seperate! But they nap at different times on different schedules

    I have no advice as my 5 month olds just recently decided to nap at opposite times. Good luck and if you find something that works let me know!

    I follow the eat-play-sleep pattern; the twins eat at the same times and I base daily naptimes on the previous nap/wake-up time rather than a specific time every day (though bedtime is 7 pm every night). At 5 months, my LOs could really only stand about an hour and a half of awake time, so 1 1/2 hrs after they woke up from a nap they were back down and nap times were also not "over" until at least an hour had passed (closer to an hour and a half was better). At that age they experienced lots of sleep disruptions but I tried to soothe them back to sleep rather than letting them get them up after 30 or 45 mins. Around 6 1/2 months, the routine really clicked in for them, they started settling themselves down more easily and sleeping longer, and things have been much smoother ever since. Consistency is key. Good luck!
