Hello, I have 4.5 month old twins. I wondered if I can get tips and advice on settling them fir naps.
I use shhh-pat. It works with both but the problem is it can take 10 mins sometimes. By this time my other twin is either really upset I'm nolonger with her., and/ or really overtired and I have to work doubly hard to get her to settle. This often leaves me with a v short windowbefore my first baby wakes, to have a rest/ do bottles/ have shower etc as they only have 30 min naps.
its hard with twins and I am so blessed that they sleep 12 sometimes 13 hours a night, but I am really in need of tips on this as daytime free time is so precious.
A friend told me it took her son 6 months to embrace tge shhh-pat and go down completely willingly from then on she also said that if 30 min naps is all my babies can manage I should prob accept it as that's just the way they are.
It's just I find it so stressful, putting them down one at a time, while I know the other one is getting upset and crying, and on top of that having to race around the house like a mad woman when they are napping. All these other ppl seem to have babies that nap for atleast an hour at a time...Help!!
