Twin Sleep Mistake #3: Why Your Twins are Waking up All Night

If you’re a twin mom waking up at every little sound in the night… this episode is for you. In this episode of Twin Sleep Talk, Laura Van Luven breaks down one of the most common (and sneaky) mistakes twin parents make: the “First Sound Frenzy.” It feels instinctive—your baby makes a noise and you’re instantly out of bed, trying to prevent both twins from waking. But what if this habit is actually keeping your twins stuck in poor sleep patterns? You’ll learn: * Why your brain goes into panic mode at night (and why it’s normal) * The difference between a true need-based cry and a light sleep stir * How rushing in too quickly can create long-term sleep disruptions * Why twins are actually wired to sleep through each other’s noise * A simple, practical step-by-step method: The Pause Protocol Laura also shares her personal experience surviving the newborn twin stage (while managing a toddler!) and how small mindset shifts can help you move from exhausted survival mode to sustainable sleep. This episode is especially helpful for: * Twin moms in the newborn to 12-month stage * Parents dealing with frequent night wakings * Families stuck in reactive sleep habits * Anyone afraid of waking the “other twin” ⚠️ Note: If your twins were premature, medically complex, or had a NICU stay, always consult your pediatrician before making changes to sleep routines. ✨ Ready to go deeper?
