Don't you hate it when you think you have it ...Ugh! Don't you hate it when you think you have it all figured out it all goes wonky again?!? From what I've read in several baby sleep books and from my own experience kiddos aren't able to have any sort of regular sleep patterns until after 16 weeks of age. At that time their internal rhythms have matured a little and they will organize thier sleep cycles (somewhat) into day time patterns (naps) and bedtime patterns. I had no luck at all with any sort of schedule until my son was about 18 weeks old (he was 2 weeks early). It didn't stop me from trying, but things really didn't get into a routine until then. Also my son didn't stop needing a night feed until he was 10 months old. My pedi told me it's not uncommom for a one year old to still wake up needing to eat. My only advice is to hang in there and know that it will all get easier as they get older. Don't kill yourself trying to have a perfect schedule just yet... they are still SO little!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22481322.post-43962677409758181062007-09-29T18:07:00.000-04:002007-09-29T18:07:00.000-04:00I don't know how you do it with twins! It must be ...I don't know how you do it with twins! It must be extremely hard to find time to sleep... I wish I had some advice for managing with twins but I only have one little one. She's two now and sleeps through the night but she didn't until she was about 8 or 9 months old. People have reminded me that by the time she goes to prom she'll not be doing the things that have caused me anxiety (waking up in the night, wearing diapers, etc.) and that I'll miss when she was this age. I guess I'm just trying to remind you that they're only going to be this little for so long and you'll look back and wonder where the time has gone. Good luck during those long nights and I'm praying that things get better for you and you can get some sleep!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22481322.post-80019788155025228822007-09-29T12:19:00.000-04:002007-09-29T12:19:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this regress...I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this regression. I don't have any words of wisdom. Heaven knows that when I think I have my little one figured out she throws me for a loop. Just keep trying, pushing through and hopefully things will settle back out.<BR/><BR/>I have to admit that the hardest thing for me to deal with is the change in MY sleep schedule. I know that's awful to say and it makes me feel so selfish, but it's the truth. I miss the days of being able to sleep whenever. I know that it's worth it; just doesn't make it any easier somedays!Plant Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471946317376166507noreply@blogger.com
