Hope everyone has enjoyed a lovely holiday season! Back to reality now that holidays are over. Ah well...
Our little girls are growing TOO fast! Already crawling and pulling up on furniture. Was sorting some tiny clothes they wore as newborns today - *sniff sniff* can't even remember them being that small!!
Hi Nadine - looks like my girls are about the same age as your babies - mine will be 8 months old in a week or so (eep! where has the time gone?) Our routine is a bit like this (although I'm pretty flexible and usually wait for tired/hungry signs from them - it usually follows the same general pattern):
5:30am - wake. breastfeed. straight back to sleep (uugh. wish I could get them to sleep another hour here!!)
7am - 7:30am - wake up for the day
8am - breakfast
9am - breastfeed
9:30am - sleep
11am - 11:30am - wake
11:30am - lunch
1pm - breastfeed
1pm - 1:30pm - sleep
3pm - 4pm - wake, breastfeed
5pm - dinner
6pm - 6:30pm - bath, breastfeed,
6:30pm - 7pm - bed
Hope that helps! Sounds like your two are having some pretty decent daytime sleeps, it's just a shame they aren't at the same time! Mine are identical and I have heard it is easier to get identical babies on the same routine. Although I have found that putting mine in separate rooms during the daytime sleeps has helped. They still sleep together at night, I just have a portacot set up in the spare room for during the day. I found they were waking each other during the day so this has fixed that problem. Good luck!! I know how hard it is when they play tag-team all day long and you never get a break.
