2 questions for my fellow multiple moms and 3 month pic
1. Babies are 3 months old and not quite sttn, but I think it may be my fault. they both take a bottle and go back to bed but sleep for different stretches of time. DD gets up once while DS gets up twice. Both go directly back to bed but I am not sure if I should wake DD when DS gets up.Any advice would help. I know they are getting close but not sure exactly how to encourage STTN.
2. Stitching from BM to F. How? I don't want to rush it but DD is having a hard time with the switch, she spits up everything. Any suggestions. Maybe I am switching to fast? I am doing three bottles half formula half BM.
Oh and I added a three month pic just for fun Image Attachment(s):

As far as STTN i'm not much help since at 15 months, it's pot luck for us if they wake up or not.
As far as switching to formula, you should start slowly. We didn't go directly to 50/50 (though it also depends on how much they are taking). My kids never drank more than a few ounces at a time so we started on .5 oz formula and the rest BM. Then you gradually work it up as they can tolerate.
Good luck, they are adorable! Love the outfits!

Very cute kids!!
No advice on the formula as I didn't BF, but mine were the same way with sleeping - one would only wake once and the other would wake twice at around that age. I didn't wake the the one that only got up once during the night. Sometimes I would wake one up depending on the timing though.

They are so adorable!!!!
My girls STTN at 6 weeks. Then at about 14 weeks they stopped. Not sure what happened. So we moved them out of our room and into their own cribs. For a while there J STTN (6:30-5:00) and K would wake once at about 3 to eat.
K dropped the last feeding on her own and they both sleep about 6:30-5:30.
No advice with FF as my girls are still EBF.
