They both wake up between 7-7:30a on their own. But even if they weren't up by then, I would let them sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-692190 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:27:13 +0000 sera_87 692190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we don't have To go anywhere, I let him wake naturally. Overall he wakes at 8-8:30. </p> <p>Unfortunately we have to leave at 6:30 to drive DH to work. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-692139 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:13:59 +0000 Rescuemom10 692139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because of work I usually have to wake her. I ususally go in her room and start doing things and getting things together to try to slowly wake her. If she is still out I start talking softly and rub her tummy to slowly wake her up. </p> <p>If it werent for work. I would let her sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-691458 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:32:17 +0000 twoofeverything 691458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@WALLAROO: I would let the other one go for another 20 minutes, max. Otherwise, they're on opposite schedules for the rest of the day. A lot of twin moms are fine with that, but in our family, everyone needs to (more or less) be on the same napping/sleeping schedule :-) Luckily, if you put them down at the same time and feed at the same time, they'll probably wake up together, anyway!<br /> I should add that if it's really hard to wake the other one up, watch until they start to come out of REM (stirring, wriggling, etc). Then it should be easier to wake them...and they'll probably be in a more pleasant mood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-691410 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:19:18 +0000 WALLAROO 691410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twoofeverything: At this age if one woke up before the other, did you wake the other to keep them on the same schedule or let the other one wake up on their own? It's so hard to figure out sleeping and napping with twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-691159 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:38:13 +0000 swurlygurl 691159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately I have to wake DD at 6:30 so we can leave for daycare at 7 :(</p> <p>On the weekends I let her sleep as long as she will - I love that early morning time to catch up on housework and stuff </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-691119 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:31:07 +0000 looch 691119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all wake up together, at 5:45.

I just let 'em sleep! Naps were a little funky the next day, but I figured that if they needed it, they needed it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-691016 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:12:36 +0000 mediagirl 691016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If there was no reason to get up, I would let her sleep all day.</p> <p>We have to get up for work, so if she's not already up, I get her up at 6am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690983 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:07:59 +0000 MrsHotDog 690983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been debating the same thing this morning! It is a little after 10 here and my 20 month old is still asleep from 7 pm last night. I am just letting her sleep. I guess she is going through a growth spurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690954 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:04:43 +0000 NovBaby1112 690954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she's pretty consistent with her wake up, but at that age i would just let them sleep! </p> <p>and can i just say OMG you have some amazing sleepers on your hands! jealous!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690935 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:02:07 +0000 purrpletulips 690935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On weekdays we wake them because we have to get ready and head to work/sitter. On the weekends we let them wake themselves (DD is 3yo and DS is almost 7m), but since they share a room DD usually wakes up when I go in to get DS after he wakes up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690934 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:02:01 +0000 Weagle 690934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've almost always let LO sleep as late as she wants in the mornings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690927 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 10:01:09 +0000 lovehoneybee 690927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let him wake up on his own.

I'm still on maternity leave so I don't really have any place to be. Thanks! :) I can enjoy my cup of coffee and get caught up on things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690888 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:54:24 +0000 winniebee 690888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much never wake my son up, but he is an early riser.</p> <p>There have been a few occasions where he has slept until after 7, and I do a gentle wakeup (open door, turn off white noise, make some noise) if I need to leave for work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690887 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:54:20 +0000 yellowbird 690887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, only because I have to get her to daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690884 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:53:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 690884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would let them sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690876 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:51:35 +0000 yin 690876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let my LO wake up on his own, which usually means more shut eye for me in the mornings. He gets really cranky if I have to wake him up for any reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690856 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:47:22 +0000 chrispygal 690856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am of the camp that if I didn't have to wake her for work, I would just let her sleep as much as she needed. Especially at their age. Enjoy the quiet time momma. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690848 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:45:57 +0000 BelugaBean 690848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always just let her sleep until she woke up on her own. Some days she sleeps longer but I know some days we need more sleep so I figure she has those days too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690846 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:45:40 +0000 DillonLion 690846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I didn't have to be at work, I'd never wake her. But we have to leave the house bright and early. Sometimes she wakes up naturally, sometimes I have to wake her up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wake-your-lo-up-in-the-morning-to-start-the-day#post-690839 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 09:44:23 +0000 WALLAROO 690839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or do you let them wake up naturally?</p> <p>We put the babies to bed earlier last night (6:30pm) to see if that bedtime would work. Our boy woke up at midnight to nurse and then didn't wake up until 5:30am. Our girl slept through the night and woke up at 5:30am as well. I nursed them both and they fell back asleep around 6:00am. They are still sleeping. Should I wake them at 8am to start the day or do I let them sleep and just wake up on their own. They are 11 weeks, 8 weeks adjusted. </p>
