9 months old and waking up for bottle at 430am

My 9 month old twins were doing great. Sleeping 12 hours at night. I used to complain starting my day at 6am, but now I would love it. They are both waking up aroun 430am....drinking anywhere from 3-8oz....then laying back down for about 20 mintues. Any idea how to break this? I also have a three year old so when I let them CIO it usually wakes him up and then I am left with three crabby tired babies.
May be teething, but not sick. This has been going on for atleast a week now, so I don't think it's teeth anymore...I am thinking it's turning into a habit.
Need advice please!!!!!

 

I'm not sure what advice I have, as I probably would have done CIO. I hope you find something that works for everyone!

 

is its been going on for over a week I would say its habit vs teeth/growth spurt/etc. If it were I would CIO and know the 3year/old will be better off in the long run with babies who sleep in, even though he will get woken up for the few nights it takes to CIO.

 

MIne do that everyone once in a while (DD woke at 5 last night) but I just let them cry and go back to sleep with in 5- 10 min. Now it is probably a habit. Can you move them to seperate areas. Even put a pnp in the kitchen, closet, bathroom where ever is far away so they wont' wake your 3 yr old?

 

How about putting some white noise in the 3 YO's room so that if they have to cry then maybe he wont notice??

 

Not sure, was going to say CIO but if it makes the other child cranky too, I know you don't want three cranky children. Hope you find a solution real soon.

I agree with Rachel's suggestion. I think at 9 months old and for babies who used to STTN, they probably don't need that bottle. GL!
