When to start sleep routine

Hey everyone Looking for advice as we have twin girls at 15 weeks (they
were born at 32 weeks so correct age is 7 weeks) We have been trying to
get into a bedtime routine but struggle as some days are good and some
are bad ( which in sure is normal) They sleep alot through the day and
find it hard to keep them awake. Our health officer says we shouldn't be
doing a routine but wanted to ask on here. Thanks ☺️

    Our twins are a similar age, 16 weeks, 6 weeks corrected. We started following a routine after reading a book by Gina Ford. I was very sceptical but it's been a game changer. Instead of unsettled crying babies most of the time with us getting her little sleep, we're now into a routine giving us structure of feeding, wake/sensory time and sleep time. I know it's a controversial topic (isn't everything) but it's working for us so I'd recommend getting the book, we've started with the 4-6 week routine.

    Hello! Our twin girls are 13.5 weeks ( bien at 36.5 weeks) and we have
    started a routine 2 weeks ago. You obviously have to be flexible as
    they are still small and as you said cannot stay awake for very long but
    we found it very helpful for both them and us! I did a webinar called
    Sleepystars and really recommend it. Good luck!
