Hi ladies,
Not sure what I'm asking, but really just need to have a vent.
I have four month old twins who I am currently keeping on a three hour schedule. This is leaving me with barely enough time during the day to sterilize bottles and have a shower, and I am so burnt out its a joke.
I am thinking of trying to move the boys to a four hour routine, but I don't really know where to start.
One twin is currently refusing to sleep more than 45 minute during the day which is very draining! I have been googling how to get him to sleep longer, and I'm finding that everything suggested seems to be impracticle in application to twins. I would love to catch the sleepy cues, have wind down time, put down to nap asleep yet drowsy, but it just never happens as I am usually feeding his brother!
I'm just feeling completely overwhelmed and like I don't have any idea what I'm doing. Everyday is such a guessing game, I never know what I'm in for. The boys are just so different in terms of their sleep needs that I literally settle one baby to sleep and the other wakes up ready to go!
I am a stay at home mum, and hubby helps with the bedtime routine, to an extent, but all day and practically all night is up to me.
Sorry to wine. I do love my babies as they are much longed for, but I'm just beating my head up against a brick wall on a daily basis and don't know where to turn.
Thanks for listening!
