I've attempted One Up Both Up and it's always Twin B getting shafted. He does multiple 20-30 minute naps, whereas the other does a very short nap in the morning, then a longer 1-2hr nap in the afternoon. They both nap for 20-30 minutes around 6pm, then bed at 9. We get up for the day at 8 and both babies nurse on demand.

I don't know how to do it without all of us being miserable.

What happens if one is napping and the other one wakes up? Are they in the same room?Do they comfort each other?

My boy definitely needs less sleep than the girl. But I leave him in the room with her and he has a couple stuffed animals and his mobile to occupy him. If I take one kid out, the other one wakes up too.

What age are they? At any age I think a schedule is important. I'm not strict with the schedule (especially now), but they know approximately when it's time to eat and sleep. Would putting them on an eating schedule help with the sleep scheduling too?

Do they sleep together in the crib? Mine never seemed to notice each other at that age, but it did help them sleep.

Yeah, if you can deal with the demands, I wouldn't screw with nursing. I gave up at five weeks because I never really had a supply (supplemented from the start) so more power to you if you can nurse! The schedule was more for my sanity than anything. I couldn't imagine not having some kind of down time while they both slept.
