Hey Bella and Jenc!

Yay sounds like you are both doing great! You are very lucky to have such good support around you, it does make life a lot easier.

Bella I would just leave them if they are awake in their cots and are happy to be there. And I would keep going on the waking them at the same time to feed, as this free's up some of your time to get on with other things, otherwise it can feel like you are feeding all day! The one that took longer to settle will soon realize than when you put them in the cot you expect them to sleep and will be woken in due course. They will soon get into a synchronized routine, I think it was around 3 months when my two started a definite routine going. I put my two down for a nap at the same time, but they almost always don't sleep the same length of time. Jennifer seems to always sleep longer than Suzanna, but I guess although they might be identical, they are different little people so one might need more sleep than the other. I don't sweat it too much, I just go with the flow.

I've started mine on solids too, at first they weren't too keen, so I just tried them every now and then. Now Suzanna loves it, but Jennifer isn't too sure, it's a lovely stage as the faces they pull are soooo funny. When your guys start, make sure you have a camera handy, it's such a precious time.

It's so lovely to hear from you and to hear that you are doing so well.
