Twin Sleep Through the Night!
It only took 20 months - well, a week less - but both babies slept through the night last night. That’s right. BOTH BABIES! All night. Sleeping. Not crying. Not demanding to sleep with me, then in the crib, then with me, then kicking me in the kidney. All night. In their own room. Asleep. Sleeping. All night. For 11 hours. In a row. Both of them.
Take heart, parents of newborn twins. It only took 20 months. That’s not bad, right?
I am assuming tonight will be dreadful.

Yay!!! Congratulations to you and the twins. I hope that you get another glorious night tonight. I’m envious, mine are just 11 months old so I guess I have a while to wait yet for sleeping through the night.

Woo-Hoo! Congratulations on this wonderful milestone. If they did it once, they will do it again!

Definitely the best news I’ve had all day. It’s all down hill from here! You have worked hard and given up so much of yourself - I’m glad you might soon be getting a little slice of normalcy back into your life.

Congrats! I hope it’s a contagious trend!

Woohoo. Please tell me you celebrated properly and slept straight through yourself.

Yay!!! I am holding out hope that this continues for you! Interestingly enough, my girls JUST started sleeping through the night a few weeks ago. (They just turned 22 months.) One sleeps through every single night while her sister sometimes wakes up once or twice but now goes back to sleep without nursing! Victory!!!

I have only one daughter. She is 3.5 and has just started sleeping for 11 hours. There was a wekk or so when she was 7 months that she slept for 8 hours but that was a blip. To do it with twins, well, I already knew you had some sort of sorcery in your parenting bag of tricks ;+)

I have a long time to twenty months with my two babies……six months old and they miss us through the night……
Yea for you, though!
