I don't have twins so I can't really help with schedules (if there is such a thing with twins)
I do know that my friend who had twins took a night nurse once a week, so that at least she would get one night's sleep a week and she said that one night gave her strength for the rest of the week.

I didn't have a schedule at that age, but at that age if they were still waking up at night I would feed them together...... if one twin wakes up and gets a diaper change and a bottle, so does the other. That way I'm not up at 2 for one twin and 5 for the other (hopefully).

I would nap them together, feed them together, etc.

8:40 am-9:00 am- change diapers/get twins dressed for the day
9:00 am-9:45 am- play on their playmat/tummy time
9:45 am- 11:00 am- nap
11:00 am-11:45 am- bottle feeding/change diapers
11:45 am- 12:30 pm- play/tummy time
12:30 pm-2 pm- nap
2 pm-2:45 pm- bottle feeding/diaper change
2:45 pm- 3:30 pm- tummy time/ play time
3:30 pm-5 pm- nap
5 pm- 5:45 pm- bottle feeding/diaper change
5:45 pm- 7 pm- play/tummy time/ bedtime story
7 Pm- 7:30 pm- baths, lotion massages, pajamas
7:30 pm-8 pm- last bottle feeding of the night, listen to soft music while eating
between 8 pm and 5 am- retrieve my daughter's pacifier about 4 times and give it back to her (she's working on sleeping better...
5 am- 5:45 am- bottle feeding twins and possible diaper chnage depending on how it feels/smells
5:45 am-8 am- sleep

and do it all over again! I wonder if anyone has a routine like this....im a first time mom so im just goign with what I see my twins are most comfortable with...
