I think we are the luckiest parents on earth. From the time we found out we having the twins all we heard was how bad getting sleep would be. We read books on sleep training, we steeled ourselves for night of crying and bought earplugs. Of course, the first couple of months you have to get up and feed them because they need to gain weight. When one woke up we woke up the other to preserve our sanity and keep them on some semblance of a schedule.
At our two month Doctor's visit or Doctor said "never wake a sleeping baby". From that point on our lives became much more manageable. Our daughter slept for 7 hours and our son would wake up but only for a diaper change. Soon enough they were both sleeping 7 hours, 11pm - 6am.
Then our lives changed again. We were talking to some parents with twins a bit older than ours when they mentioned there kids go down at 8 and then wake up at 4. We knew we needed to start getting them to be earlier but hadn't wanted to miss a feeding. That night we fed them at 8pm and they slept until 6am! No problems.
