Hi
Not sure how i managed it but my twins are in a lovely 4 hours routine
and are sleeping through.....
They are nearly 4 months old ( but were 2 months early so corrected age of 2 months) Blake is 9lb7 and Brooke 8lb 3.
They feed at 6-7am 11am ish, 3pm ish, 7pm ish, but they are getting more and more reluctant to take the 11pm feed. They take less than an ounce and it takes nearly an hour to get them to take it. Its not that theyre too sleepy, cos i wake them up properly etc, theyre just not interested in taking it. I tried putting them to bed after the 7pm the other night to see what happened and they slept through till 6.30am. Surely its too soon for them to be going from 7-7? Blake is having between 20-23 oz between 7am and 7pm and brooke is having 18-20 oz.
What can i do to get them to take this later feed? I cant make them have it if they dont want it!!??
They demand very loudly if they do want feeding so Should i abandon trying to force feed them at 11pm and let them sleep through unless they want it earlier?
