Что происходит с моей дочерью-близнецом?
So there is literally something wrong with my twin girl, she's already gotten out of bed six times in the past half hour. This is getting ridiculous. I dont understand what the issue is. I think we might just let her sleep in hallway every night because its the only place she will sleep other then living room with my husband and older son. I dont know what else to do. She is literally never tired. I dont even remember the last time i saw her even sleepy. My twins go with a babysitter five days a week too. She takes them everywhere. Supposedly she cut down their naps but I don't know how true that is. I know when they're here with us on the weekend they don't nap at all like we even try to put them in the room for an hour and they don't sleep. We are seriously at our wit's end this has been going on for like over a month now and its getting worse. Should we be bringing her to a doctor or something to figure out what's going on??

My son is 4 and he stopped napping some 6-8 months ago. Maybe cutting out the nap completely?

My baby sitter got mad last time we brought up cutting nap times to her because she watches them 9 hours a day and wants a break. She said they only sleep an hour now

A break? She is in the wrong line of work. She could sit them down for quiet activities or take them for a walk if she needs a "break"... I didn't realize they still nap. They will never sleep if they are taking a nap when they don't really need to and if you really want them to nap still it should be limited to 30-60 minutes followed by outdoor play!!! They need to run and be children if you want them to sleep and then have quiet time leading up to bedtime. What is their daily routine? What time do they get up? Go to bed? There's normal developmental wake ups and "I need to cuddle with my family" but it's sounds like they have more of "I need a different routine, and solid sleep schedule" wake up thing going on. Sorry mama!

this started almost 2 months ago. They used to go to bed by 7:30, now they don't fall asleep till almost 9:00. They wake up now at about 6:30, they used to wake up at 8:30. Yes she had the audacity to b**** at me and tell me that she watches them 9 hours a day and she needs a break. So my husband has to say something to her again about naps. I know she takes in the stores, Parks, wherever, she's always telling me she's taking them places. They have a yard to run around at her place. The problem mostly lies with my twin girl she gets up all night long until my husband lets her sleep in the living room with him and my oldest son

Sounds like they don't need to nap any more. My daughter was a horrible sleeper so we eliminated them when she was around 2.5. We also did high energy activities before bedtime to really wear her out. Cut sugar in the evening completely, and really stuck to a consistent bed time routine. A white noise machine also helped a ton.

We have white noise in their bedroom and fan in hall way. She literally just woke up again as I'm writing this. We don't do high activity before bedtime we try to wind them down and not too high energy activities before then

Honestly she probably let's them nap longer than an hour and hence why at nighttime she isn't sleepy. Maybe she even let's them take a a "late" long nap. That can be a reason.

At 4 he never napped anymore we took nap away and bedtime was 7 and that was all we needed to do to get him back on track

Yeah they used to go to sleep by 7:30. Now it's nine or later. My oldest stopped napping at 3

we have, it does not help. Wjat sucks is we jane no yard for kids ti run around in wjen thet are home. And packing them all up along with my oldest that has ADHD and ODD is not fun. We cant go to park when people are there, he woud make a scene.
