Well I didn't have triplets, but I did have twins. And I found it easier to get the twins on a schedule than it was to get my older two single-birth babies on a schedule.
The way you feed them just might be a solution. My twins never wanted to be breastfed at the same time, so I would nurse one, and put the other in an infant seat beside me with a bottle in my hand feeding formula. When it was time to switch breasts, the twins would trade places. With triplets, that could be more complicated, but if you have somebody else to help, or can prop the bottle, it could work the same way. Allowing multiple babies to eat at the same time will put them on a schedule. They will then tend to do everything else at the same time as well. At least that worked for us.
And I was SO not on a schedule with my first two!
Good luck with that.

Wow- I have no idea. I just wanted to tell you how impressed I was that you want to get triplets on a schedule!! If I had triplets, I wouldn't even have MYSELF on a schedule!!! Congratulations- Good luck- God bless.
