Today Mom told all of us kids that the Twins need to learn how to put themselves back to sleep. And if they have been fed, played with and burped, and they start to get cranky, they should lay down for a nap. She said that they don't need to be coddled or picked up every time they make a noise. It is good for a baby to self soothe. This will teach them to sleep longer at night and not get up as often.
So today after we fed them and played with them, we laid them down for a nap. MC kept walking over to the crib every time they made a noise, and Mom would have to tell to, "leave them alone, they are fine, come back over here." It was pretty funny.
They napped for a good amount of time and were so much more happy when they woke up.
They kept falling asleep ALL day and we began to worry that they wouldn't be tired when it was there bed time and that they wouldn't sleep during the night. Our very experienced Mother once again shared her wisdom and said that well rested babies sleep better at night. So we were relieved that they were taking so many naps.
We have already learned so much and I bet we are going to learn much more.
