Hi everyone, it's been a hot minute since I posted. Life has been flying and dragging by at the same time. My twinnies are now 9 months and 5 days old (chronological age) and about 7 months and 27 days adjusted age.

​

I am having such a hard time getting twin A to go to sleep at night and naps. I would like some advice , if anyone has some. She gets so tired and I start the sleep process 30min before I'd like for her to actually be asleep. At night, I feed her, change diaper and put on pj's, read a book, then get up to rock her and pray ove her before bed. Then I kiss her head and say, "goodnight Zoe, momma loves you" and start rocking. Depending on what she likes, I either hum a bluegrass tune or "shhhh". This persists for 30-45min and sometimes an hour. She lays her head on my chest or in my arms, lays there for a few seconds and then pops back up. After about 10min of that, momma needs a break, so we sit in the nursery chair and rock. She moves all around, makes little noises, lays her head down, and then pops back up. After 10/15min that, i try rocking again while standing. This cycle persists. I sometimes get tired, lay her down in her crib, and walk away to see if she will go to sleep on her own. The answer is always no. Then we cycle through everything again. Im so tired and she is not getting a full night's rest like she needs. What can I do to help her sleep? She is teething. I give Motrin about 45min before bed if she seems uncomfortable.

Twin B falls asleep like a dream in the other room and gets transferred into the nursery once Twin A is finally asleep.

What can I do to help my baby, and selfishly me?

FYI tonight so far, its been over an hour. Both my husband and I have tried.

Hi! It's been a while since I posted bc, ya know, twins and a ft job keep a ftm busy. Anyways, I am looking for some advice here.

My girls are now 8mo, almost 9mo, chronologically and 7mo + 2wks adjusted. I dont get home from work and picking the girls up from daycare until about 6:30/6:45pm on weeknights. How am I to introduce solids and mashed foods when we get home that late in the evening? What are your weeknight schedules like, if both parents work outside the home?

TIA!
