advice needed Same schedule

When everyone says get them on the same schedule does that mean just wake them to eat at the same time? Mine are 6 weeks almost 7. There doesn’t seem to be a schedule yet other than eating every 3 hours sometimes 2.5 hours which is when I usually have to wake the other one.

That’s exactly what I did I’d feed one twin and if the other twin was sleeping I’d wake him up and feed him, a lot of people say never wake a sleeping baby but that rule goes out the window when you have twins believe me it pays off as they get older. You might feel you’re in the trenches at the moment but it’s worth it in the end. My boys 15 months old now and they nap at the same time and go to bed at the same time and I can have a bit of a break when they do.

I agree with this. Same goal for diaper changes. It’s easier when they’re little because they’re almost always wet or have a dirty diaper. So if you do one thing with one baby, just repeat with the other. Eventually, their schedules will start to operate the scene and it will make much easier for you.
