How to help twins sleep through the night

Are sleepless nights turning you into a zombie? Let’s tackle the twin sleep struggle together!

As a mom of two lively twins, I know the challenges of getting them to sleep through the night. It often feels like a never-ending cycle of feedings, diaper changes, and soothing. But there are some tricks that have really helped me!

First, establish a consistent bedtime routine. We start with a warm bath, followed by a calming story, and some quiet cuddle time. It signals to them that it's time to wind down. I've noticed that when we stick to this routine, they seem to settle down easier.

Next, consider creating a sleep-friendly environment. Dim the lights, use white noise, and keep the room at a comfortable temperature. We use a sound machine that plays gentle rain sounds, and it works wonders!

Also, don’t underestimate the power of timing. Putting them to bed when they show signs of tiredness—like rubbing their eyes or fussing—can prevent overtiredness, which only makes things worse. I remember one night when I pushed their bedtime too late, and it turned into a three-hour battle!

Lastly, be patient. Every night won’t be perfect, and there will be setbacks. Just remember, you’re not alone in this. Share your tips and experiences; let’s help each other through this twin journey!
