If your twins were preemies, when did they start STTN?

My twins are 12 weeks old (4 weeks adjusted). They are currently taking 5oz every 4 hours. Sometimes at night they will go 7 hours in between feeds but that is very rare. I have tried upping their last feed before bed about 1/2 an oz but they usually don't finish that extra 1/2 oz. I am thinking that maybe because they are only 4 weeks adjusted, they are just not ready for it yet? When did your twins start STTN?

Re: If your twins were preemies, when did they start STTN?

My preemies (10 weeks early) started sttn at 17 weeks.

They had terrible acid reflux and feeding them in the middle of the night aggrivated their condition and kept them up for hours. The Dr suggested that I hold off feeding them so that they can get their needed sleep. This caused them to be extremely hungry in the morning. They ate like champs at 5:30 am!

Not until I did CIO. By about 4 months though (unadjusted) they would sleep usually 6 hour stretches.

Thanks Ladies. I'm just trying to figure things out for when i go back to work next week. I was hoping there was some kind of trick for getting them to STTN because i will have to wake at 5am to get ready and then get them ready.

Re: If your twins were preemies, when did they start STTN?

My girls were 5 weeks early....

They started sleeping through the night at 4 months. (unadjusted)

Re: If your twins were preemies, when did they start STTN?

My boys just started and they are 7 months (unadjusted, 5 months adjusted).

Although they still wake up at least 2x a night and wine/cry a little we DO NOT pick them up and they usually go back in about 10 minutes.

My boys were born at 36 weeks. We finally got both of them STTN (12 hours!) around 7 months. We did CIO. We would have done it earlier but held off bc Hunter was having surgery. They're probably just not ready yet. Hang it there.....you'll get there!

Re: If your twins were preemies, when did they start STTN?

My boys were four weeks early and started sttn at four months. We did CIO some nights, but they got into the swing of things right away. They slept from seven to seven most nights.
