Does he have a "lovie" or other soft blankie that you can begin to associate with bedtime?
let us know how things go!
If one of them wakes up crying, we will wait a few minutes (5 or 10) to make sure he's not going to be able to back to sleep on his own - unless it's that hysterical-type crying, then I go in right away. The still sleeping baby almost always stays sleeping. After we wait a few minutes and decide it's not stopping (most of the time they will stop on their own), we go in and try to sooth him back to sleep with quiet singing, back rubbing, sometimes holding. Like dmksam, we don't leave the room. The other twin sleeps through it or will stir slightly and go back to sleep.
Also, if one wakes up but is just talking or making noises, but is clearly not upset, we don't go in at all. Usually they will go back to sleep after a while and the other one never wakes up.
