What Makes Either Of The Twins To Cry In The Night?

My 20 month old grandsons (twins) wake up around 11 p.m. Some nights one will sleep all night and vice versa. They will not stop crying. My daughter gets them in the car and rides around trying to get them to go back to sleep. I told her maybe they are hungry. Maybe something is not right.

Hello. Welcome to HCM. As a Sleep Consultant for babies i could tell you that this episode might happen at the babies this age. The reason for this waking may be: 1- Transitioning from 1 sleep cycle to the other and the baby is in a trans phase. 2- Baby might not have a good routine. 3- Maybe they are sleeping too much hours during the day for their age. 4- Something from the outside may have woken them and they have difficulty going back to sleep.5- Or i milestone is happening to them. I would suggest the mother to let them sleep no more than 2 hours at day and set an appropriate schedule for eating and sleeping time. If the babies are experiences a milestone i would advice you to make more practice during the day in order for the babies brain to be quiet/restful at night. If you have another questions contact me dear and i would see your grandsons situation in more details.
