Hi Trish!!

It's so funny that you should be posting this as I was going to post
something very similiar but sort of opposite!!

My twins are 7 1/2 months now and around six months (I think) I
separated them as my son was trying to 'sleep through' and my
daughter wasn't yet (still the case!) and my son would take forever
to put to sleep during the day and would wake my daughter who would
normally go to sleep just like that. One book I read suggested
separating twins till they sorted themselves out then put them back
together. I thought it was worth a try but now I don't know. We
tried a 'mild' form of CC with my son(worked fairly quickly with
him) but he still cries a little before going to sleep. Well we've
tried twice to put them back in the same room (I want my office
back!!), first time my daughter talked and talked to my son who got
upset and started screaming and then she did too. So back in
separate rooms they went. The second time I thought I'd stick with
it and tried CC with both. Well we had screaming in same rooms for
1 hour (with settling techniques in place) then screaming in
separate rooms for 1/2 and then there seemed no point so up they got
with no morning sleep that day. And they are now still in separate
rooms. So my question was any adice on how to put them back
together?? Or maybe I should leave them apart?? My son is in a
portacot (which I don't mind so much as I don't have to rescue him
from getting stuck in the cot rails!). When they were in the same
room my daughter (who is such a sticky beak) would scream when she
saw me giving attention (trying to settle him) to her brother. When
she wakes during the night she screams blue murder and no settling
technique works other than a b/feed. So for our peace of mind and
also so we all get maximum sleep, separate rooms works best for us.
But it wasn't what we had envisaged. Maybe when they're older?? Or
are they going to be even more alert and more troublesome?? I have
no answers - does anyone??

All the best Trish and let me know please if you come up with a
solution!
