Sleep Training...DONE!

Yes, folks, that's right...the twins are now sleeping through the night. We put them down at 7pm and they wake up around 6am. We decided to go cold turkey on a few sleeping habits. We stopped swaddling for their naps and started using sleep sack and we cut out their 3am feeding. It was a tough week last week for all of us but the kids pulled through it like champs! Until we move to rice cereal (which should be in the next few weeks) we do a quick "dream feed" around 11pm where we feed them while they are still sleeping. It gets extra calories in them to make it through the night. It's amazing they can eat and sleep at the same time!

The odd thing is I keep waking up...I need to start sleep training myself!!

Here are the kids in their new sleep sacks. Their arms still flail around and wake them up sometimes but it's a start.
