Hi Trish,
I have 4 year old girl/ boy twins. I can distinctly remember my daughter, Emily at 7 months being the wrong way in her cot and sleeping on her tummy but she used to turn her head to one side. I sought all kinds of advice and mostly people suggested that no pillow , sheets , blankets or doonas so all I did with Emily was dress her warmly and she slept on a bottom sheet only. We used to sometimes find her asleep with her legs or arms dangling out of the cot.
I truly understand about the sleep deprivation but it does get better.
All the best
Maree ( mother of Emily and Max ,4 years )

Just introducing myself & my family to you. I'm Trish and my husband
Nigel have identical twin daughters Tali & Summer who are now 7
months old and keeping me on my toes... I dont know where the time
goes, as it feels like yesterday we were bringing them home....
Although I must say it feels like this sleep deprivation has been
with me forever....
My girls are still waking at 4am for a feed, I am sure they do not
need this, and its merely a comfort thing,of having a nice full warm
belly to get them thru till the morn... But being 4am I have been a
little lazy and just get up & feed & pop back to bed.... I really
would like to get them out of this feed. Any ideas anyone on where
to start???? Mind you I too,like another member Mel, am having
trouble with little Tali rolling all over her cot, just today I went
in and she was upside down ( her head where her feet should have
been).I am not sure on how I can stop her and how to avoid Summer
learning the same thing....
