Twins not sleeping good at all??! Please help

I have 17 month old twins and they keep waking up at night and will stay up for 2-3 hours at a time. They're sleep in the same room but in different cribs and I usually bring the awake one in my room but it's hard when they're both up. they were pretty decent sleepers but the last few nights it's the same they wake up and will stay up for hours occasionally fussing not crying just wanting to play or walk. They're not sick or teething at the moment. Help me please... what are you moms doing or not doing? Any advice for me? I've tried doing later put downs but it's not helping.

thank you so much for this advice I will definitely try this❤️❤️❤️

Sounds like the 18m regression! Just ride the waves until it's over and keep your routines, they'll fall back in line when it ends 🫶🏻

Hey mamma hang in there you’re doing great. 😊 I’d say if they’re not crying let them be they’ll fall asleep eventually. But it’s understandable to want to do something 2 hrs is along time. What is your bedtime routine for them? Maybe their diapers are wet..do they use the night time diapers? Maybe try some sleep sounds and nightlight. Maybe don’t grab them just try to lay them back down soothe them a bit and walk away. I knowing it’s tough I’m sorry. 😞

You’re not alone! My twins have slept through twice in 18 months… we’re exhausted. Our boy twin is a nightmare, we’ve tried everything! Sleep training, bananas before bed, sleep remedies switching milk and now magnesium lotion… I’m hoping this one helps. Me and hubby are up 2-3 times a night with him. Hubby got an hours sleep last night

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
