Did anyone have 1 twin sleep through, other not?

Did you wait out the second one and did they eventually sleep through? J&H are back on schedule and sleep from 7pm until 630 am with a dreamfeed. Henry is also waking up at 430 am and won't go back to sleep without eating. He is the smaller of the two, should I wait it out and be patient or stop the feeding?

 

Yes, I fed one and let the other sleep and let the waking one drop on his own.

 

Brandon sometimes does the same thing and wakes in the middle of the night. When he does occasionally a cuddle will work and we can put him back in his crib, but usually he isn't satisfied until he gets a little "snack bottle" (about 4 oz, though we could probably cut it down to 2 or 3 oz). Since it's only once or twice a week we currently just give him a little bottle and let Colin sleep. At some point in the future (after they are 6 months adjusted) we may just let Brandon fuss through it and not get him up. But for now we pick him up and usually end up giving him a bottle. We're hoping he will grow out of this phase soon!

 

My guys a bit younger than yours with that being said Matthew has been sleeping through the night for over a month he will go down at 7pm and wake up at 4-5am he will occasionally wake up at 2am but that is very rare, Brandon on the other hand well thats a different story he just dropped his 10pm feeding but wakes up either at 12am or 2am and than 4-5am to feed. He is my smaller twin too, he only eats between 3-5oz per feed when Matthew started going 7oz this Monday. To answer your question I do feed Brandon when he wakes up I just want him to get as much calories as he can.

 

If he takes a full feeding, I would probably go ahead and keep giving him the bottle, and reevaluate in another month or two.

 

My smaller twin is sleeping through and the bigger one wakes up at 3am for a feeding. I figure she will drop it on her own and I will continue with the feeding. If she is still waking at 6 months, we may CIO.

 

I would feed him if he's taking 3 oz or more. He'll drop it on his own soon enough

 

Yes, one started STTN 8 months before the other. However, the one that would wake would take a bottle and go right back to sleep. She was my IUGR baby and is still extremely small, so I never refused her a feeding during the night.

 

One of my boys usually wakes around midnight, nurses, and then sleeps through until it's time to get up. As long as the waking baby is hungry I don't see any reason to not feed them.

 

Many babies that age definitely need a feeding. If he is hungry, I would feed him. Mine nursed at night until 10 months, when I night weaned them. (They did not drop the feeding on their own).

 

Same as many of the other posters, my DS has always been a little behind DD in his sleep habits and still wakes sometimes wanting to eat at night. DD will sleep through so I just go in there, get him, nurse him and put him right back to sleep. No reason to not feed a hungry baby and many babies aren't ready to drop a nighttime feeding until 9 months. If he would wake, not eat and want to play it would be totally different but if he wants to eat, feed him!
