    Well I wouldnt wean them from their own cots because that might disrupt sleep patterns that you've worked hard on developing for them.

    But when you go on vacation could it be an idea to buy travel cots for them and then use their own bedding and mobiles and toys out of their own cots at home in them for a familiar smell and feeling for them?

    good luck anyways and enjoy your vacation! xxx

    Well, I would suggest putting a small box fan in their room at home so they get used to the sound of that. Then, I'd bring in a pack 'n play and let them sleep in that for a week or two before the trip. That way, by the time you leave they're used to sleeping in it and you can bring the fan so the noise is the same. Plus, it's their sheets and blankets, so the smell is the same.

    While at home have them sleep in other areas. What I did was put my twins to sleep in the crib, and move them to another location. Soon they got used to waking up there and I started putting them asleep there too and moving them again. Keep mixing it up like this and they will learn to be adaptable!

    My 4 month previous son weighs precisely 14 pounds, that's barely some extra oz. than your boys. My son is optimal interior the middle with weight. My son wakes 5-7 cases a evening to nurse and my ped mentioned that some babies basically consume like that. I persist with my "mommy intestine" and do what i think of is superb. Peds are not there interior the process the evening whilst your new child is hungry. i in my view do no longer look after cereal. My daughter refused to consume it and that i do no longer blame her. It smells terrible! She is a healthful new child with out it!

    Have them start sleeping in the pack n play (or whatever they will be sleeping in while on vacation) in their room. Once they get used to that, try putting them down in the pack n play in another location. I always take along the sheet that he has been sleeping on at home to put on the mattress he will be sleeping on while we're away...something that smells like home.

    Start turning up the tv or radio just before bed time/nap time and leave it on

    My son is 6 months and we can play rockband (lol), or watch, movies ( at normal volume) and he stays sleeping.

    Try "switching it up" on them at home so they except change better

    Try not to wean them out of there own beds because they will end up in yours and that is harder to brake.
