How to Put Twins to Sleep Believe it or not, having twins doesn't mean you'll never sleep again! Thesetips, including how to establish a schedule and create bedtime routines, can ensure agood night of shut-eye for everyone.By Linda DiproperzioGet on a schedule. Creating a sleep schedule for one baby is important -- andit's even more so for two. Mom and Dad need some peace and quiet, so it's bestto get babies to bed at the same time every night. When one baby wakes up,wake the other up, too (this is one of those times it's okay to wake a sleepingbaby!). This will eventually get them on the same feeding, changing, andsleeping schedule.Create a bedtime routine. Babies thrive on consistency, so put together abedtime routine that works best for you and your babies. Bath, books, and bedseems to work for most little ones. This is a great time to bond with your twins,so make it stress-free and enjoyable for all of you.Think about co-bedding. This is when you lay both babies next to other in thesame crib. Because the two spent so much time together in the womb, manytwins find this practice soothing. But it's a habit you might want to keep onlyuntil the babies are around three months or so; that's when they will startmoving around more and might knock into each other or wake each other up).Keep them in the same room. After you move them into separate cribs, keepthem in the same room -- and make sure they can see each other. This will becalming and soothing for the both of them.Put them down drowsy, but awake. You don't want to encourage any sleepcrutches -- especially with twins. Rocking or feeding a baby to sleep might seemharmless, but if your little ones get too used to it, they'll need it every time theywake up in the middle of the night (and with twins, that could be a lot). The goalis to teach them how to get themselves to sleep on their own. Page 2 of 6
