Continuing sleep dramas

Hazel, and to a lesser extent, Ivy, does not like heat or the air conditioner. That's what we think might be going on here.

For a full seven nights of the heatwave Hazel did not accept the "bedtime" concept. Then on the eighth night, when the heat was less so the air con was off, she went off to sleep at 7.30 and only woke for feeds through the night. Coincidence? Possibly! We will never know!

Last night was very average again though. They were both unsettled all night, taking a while to go back to sleep after each feed.

Two new ideas:

1. Sleep school. Ben chatting with Northpark Hospital in Bundoora about getting in to their four-night residential sleep school thingo.

2. Move the cots into their own room. I asked about this on the AMBA forum (lots of other parents of multiples, mostly mums of twins), and lots of women wrote about their success with doing this. I hope to still be able to wake in time to get to Ivy before she wakes properly.

Should we move the cots before or after the sleep school stay? I'm inclined to do it before, so we learn about how to handle the new situation.
