First 6 months of life and sleep

Birth and the first 6 months of life -- SLEEP

I have so much to catch up on.  It have been a busy few year to say the least.

On February 20, 2014 I had 2 (huge) and healthy baby twins.  Baby A (my girl) was a whopping 6 pounds 10 ounces.  Baby B (my boy) was 6 pounds 6 ounces.

I had a scheduled section which went according to plan.  I was very lucky..

The hospital was surreal to me.  I couldn't imagine all the love I had for these two babies, and I couldn't imagine life without both.  So many people came to the hospital to visit us.   Harper was born with a massive amount of hair - it was really something.

We adjusted nicely at home but we were not ready for the twin tornado that was ready to hit.  It was exhausting -- there were no breaks.  Babies were feeding every 3 hours.  We decided to keep them on the same schedule so when one baby ate the other one ate too -- it worked nicely and eventually we had a great schedule going.

When we got home I had both babies sleeping next to me in Rock N Plays.  They absolutely loved them.

The best thing I did w the twins and sleeping was read the book called "Healthy Sleep Happy Child".  I followed this book to a T - and the next thing I knew I had happy rested babies.

They started randomly sleeping through the night around 3 months.  I had some advice to try the Baby Merlins Magic Sleep Suit and it was exactly that......MAGIC

From the first night I put them in there they slept  through the entire night - BOTH OF THEM.
So it couldn't have been a fluke.

They loved these suits - slept in them until they were 6 months old.  But by then I had very healthy sleep trained babies.  JACKPOT!
