When we found out we were having twins the best advice I got from other mothers and books was that we needed to be on a strict schedule. When one baby is hungry you feed them both. This is supposed to synchronize their lives. So, since day 1 we've been feeding them at the same time, napping them at the same time, bathing them around the same time, etc. Here is a sampling of how our day goes:
6:00 a.m. Jeff gets up for work and takes the boys downstairs
7:00 a.m. Susie feeds the babies
7:30 a.m. diapers are changed
7:40 a.m. play time
8:00 ish-nap time
10:00 - Susie feeds the babies, diapers, play time, nap time
1:00 - Susie feeds the babies, diapers, play time, nap time
4:00 - Susie feeds the babies, diapers, play time, nap time
7:00 pm - Susie feeds the babies, diapers,
7:30 pm - walk outside
8:00 - nap time
10:00 - Susie feeds the babies and they go to bed.
10:30 - Susie and Jeff wait in bed for the first pacifier to fall out
1-2:00 - One of the boys wakes up and we feed the babies
4-5:00 - One of the boys wakes up and again we feed, burp and change the babies
7:00- Feed the babies
It never ends-feeding the babies is my life!
