@maryatexaschristian My 2.5yo b/g set are going as milk and cookies

@whcarston They might be overtired from daycare too. Can you drive around and let them fall asleep in the car maybe?

@whcarston If it’s overwhelming for you, then don’t do it. Go with what works for your family. I didn’t follow any one of the ‘programs’ or ‘plans’ or whatever to sleep train. At 4mo I just went with the flow and developed a routine that worked for us. I just went back to work at that time so...

@blessedj316 Girl same.

@mesosearch Stay the course. We are on the other side of this and took a very similar approach. It was horrible for like 4 months and got gradually better over time. Now they’re 3 plus 2mo and can play alone for like 20 minutes with minimal supervision. I usually made the aggressor sit with me...

@voyant We did a trial run on Christmas break. They were waking up about 7am, so targeted nap around noon or so. I put them down for nap at 11am to let them play and still by 12:30pm, no signs of sleep from either one. At that point, it’s going to start to interfere with bed time, plus they were...

@stevek Thank you ❤️

@stevek If only. 5 bedrooms was way out of our price range even though we bought when the market and interest rates were low. I wish we didn’t need the 3rd room but even as it is, it’s a guest room, storage room, and office space all in one.

@itagaki I teach so exactly what you described was my first response. I tried it for 3 days over our recent winter break - naps and bed time, the same routine and explanation each time. Their behavior did not change. Even by the 3rd day, they were still playing for over an hour and constantly...

@itagaki The playing only happens if I keep them together. As soon as they’re separate they’re down within 10 minutes. They sleep 2-3hrs for nap at home

@emerald514 Yeah, at this point, given the responses, it seems like she will be in a pnp in the guest room for at least another year. We will see how that goes.

@pastoruc This morning my boy twin (sick with an ear infection) pushed his sister into the wall and threw a board book at her, scraping off the top layer of her skin in one spot. Not 30 seconds later he was crying bc she bit him. We hadn’t even been awake 30 minutes (we had just gotten them up...

@preston354 Of course. As soon as they get laid down, they’re immediately back up again. Whether I say anything or not. Idk if that would change if they were in actual beds (I have had them sleeping on mattresses on the floor bc of my son’s climbing - I didn’t want the temptation there for him...

@preston354 Yeah I have tried this before. I am constantly chasing kids around the room for an hour. After 3 days of that over Christmas break I decided it wasn’t worth it.

@forgivemejesus Hit the nail on the head here

@momma7 I was thinking the bunk thing but I couldn’t find anything with high enough sides for the top bed. Can you send a picture of your setup? I’ve never heard of a bunk crib (I’m in the US). Twin A is not a climber so I could possibly get her in the top level without issue.

@momma7 Yes this was also a thought. I could probably keep her in a crib till 3

Y’all were so helpful with my sleeping dilemma for vacation. I’m in need of some more suggestions for sleep. Long story ahead. I have boy girl twins who are almost 2. We had to split our twins for sleep for several reasons, with great results for all of us. They’ve been separated for over 6...

@fab01 Daycare is not a necessity. You’re absolutely not holding them back. We’ve been lucky to have overwhelmingly positive experiences so far, but I’ve also seen some centers/teachers I wouldn’t feel comfy leaving my kiddos with long-term. SAHM life was not for me. I am so much better as a...

@giot Half and half worked best for us but we also tried 25%/75% of each
