Hi everyone. Wondering if those more experienced can offer some advice.
I have a 5 year old DD and 12 week old twins. Babies will only contact nap in the daytime and cosleep at night. In the day I wear them in a sling and they have naps lasting over 2.5 hours.
Babies are starting to get too heavy to wear all day so I need to find another solution.
But how do you solve this without being stuck in the bedroom pat shushing babies for hours on end?
My elder daughter needs me and I need to be doing things whilst they nap like making dinner/school run.
Having a second (and third!) Is a very different scenario than just one.
For info I am a single parent currently on mat leave and babies won't nap in car or pram without constant movement.

Please help with any suggestions from a desperate mum. 😆

Take them for a drive? Always sent my little one to sleep

Thanks. They whinge for a good 5-10 mins in the car before finally going to sleep and wake as soon as I stop the car. It also isn't really practical with the five year old and can't afford the petrol really.

I used to bring the pram inside and push my non-sleepers around the house. Often peeling spuds sitting at table rocking the pram with my foot etc.
Also, we had a swing chair. Battery operated, set to gentle swing and theyd stay asleep.

Rock the pram a bit until they drop off . Music keeps them asleep!
