Reader's Question

How do I get my 14 month old twin boys to sleep through the night? I would even settle for most of the night. At the moment they are waking about 5 or 6 times each a night. I average about 2 hours sleep at the moment.

Kirsti's Response

Hi and thanks for your email,

When I read your email, I immediately thought WOW! someone else is going through a similar challenge to me right now. Like you, my little girl has all of a sudden refused to go to bed in her cot and will not sleep alone. I have had countless sleepless nights and it has taken its toll. I can appreciate how this would be impacting on your emotional and physical health right now. As I am a Life Coach and not an expert on sleep issues among babies and toddlers, I can work with you personally on how to manage your current situation and emotional state. However if this is purely a sleep related request, you may like to contact one of the following organisations for more specialised help.

• Tresillian - 02 9787 0855 or 1800 637 357
