I am a ftm of twins. They are 13 weeks old. I've been reading the Sleep Lady's newborn book and the twin add-on by Natalie Diaz (which is basically the same book with some twin advice thrown in).
Apparently, newborns get one long stretch of sleep in a 24 hour period and this usually comes after a long wake window (about 2 hours). I'm the beginning, I was following this and it was working out. My twins even slept 6 hours some nights. However their bedtime (asleep for the night in their bassinet) was around 10:30-11:00. This was obviously too late so I have moved it up to 7 pm (their last feed is 7 pm and they're usually asleep by 8:30).
My question is about schedule moving forward. Most schedules I see, from sleep lady and others, include an 11pm feed so I have been waking them up to feed at that time. However I am worried I am not allowing them to get as long a stretch of sleep as possible by disrurbing them at that time. After the 11 pm feed they go back to sleep around midnight or 12:30 and they will sleep about 4 hours but I am no longer seeing any stretches longer than that.
Should I continue to wake them up at 11 to eat? Or should I let them sleep and see how long they will sleep?
