Twins daytime naps at 7 weeks

[stinkypants]

Really need my lovely twins to learn to self soothe as I have two older ones as well. They both fall asleep easily in arms or feeding or in sling. One will fall asleep in bouncy seat without too much trouble. Neither will fall asleep in cot in day. Unable to transfer them once asleep as they just wake up within a few minutes. Have tried leaving to cry for increasing periods which has had good results at bedtime but rarely works in the day and is just too upsetting . would love to sit and hold them all day but simply can't with older two. Getting to end of tether listening to crying.
Any advice gratefully received.

That sounds really tricky, my 6 week old DD is similar and I have an older one. Can you sling them together? Have seen pics of a mum doing that with a stretchy. Or get out the house with older kids a couple of times a day and see if they'll have pram naps together? (Though mine just cries in the pram...) Sorry not many ideas but lots of sympathy!

Can you put in pram to nap? Then if you need to go out can just go without waking, and can rock with foot whilst helping older children

I'm the same - problems with twins daytime naps and have older dc.

I'm persisting with cots for the morning nap but I've put them in separate rooms for it (one now in a travel cot) as one tends to want to sleep and the other fights it (they take turns at these roles!). White noise helps for one twin, and I've realised one was overtired too, so have moved the nap forward.

Lunchtime I'm letting them nap in the pram for now.

My two aren't tired at the same time though, which is tricky as by the time you fit in feeds for both and naps, there's no time left in the day!

How old are your dts?
