We also have 14 month twins and you are incorrect on the feeding thing. We have read articles and their doctor confirmed that it actually is not normal for any child to sleep 8 hours at night. Normal until they are about 4 years old is 3-4 hours before waking and needing food or quick attention before being put back down to sleep. It is human nature to want to sleep near their parent and as you already know we are already tired enough but as long as they go back to sleep who cares where they sleep and with whom. Not every night but maybe three nights out of the week my husband has to sleep with one of the twins to get him to sleep the rest of the night. The other one is better and is normally just hungry. We feed him and put him back in his crib. It does really suck and we too are way tired, but it is a lot better than it was when they used to wake up ever hour and a half when they are babies. This is one of those things that will change when it should, until then feed them if they are hungry and let them sleep with you if that is what it takes to go back to sleep. Other than that we are going to have to ride this one out even if it is killing us. Also, everytime they cry I have found is not a reason to get up and take them out of their crib. There are different kinds of cries and sometimes it is just them sort of crying because they are readjusting themselves. Tonight just listen for a few minutes and then react you may find like we did that they will move around and then go back to sleep on their own. The other times you know the difference and they are hungry.
