)<\/p>\nI feel as if those are all I have these days. I used to be able to use my intellect and collected “wealth” of knowledge, trivia, and experiences (mine and others) to come us with educated guesses to any question I faced. And my guesses were typically pretty good – or at least often enough that people asked me their questions more than once.<\/p>\n
But here I am, a mom whose twins are almost 3 months old (on Sunday), and I seem to have nothing but questions and no real answers. <\/p>\n
So I’m going to type out some of my questions, and if you have figured out answers to any of them, please feel free to answer for me. <\/p>\n
1. How do you get a child (or two) to sleep for longer than 1 hour (it’s usually30-40 minutes) in his or her crib at nap times, especially when they’ll sleep for 2-3 hours in a swing?<\/p>\n
2. Why does my son wake up 2 hours after he eats (even at night sometimes) with no dirty diaper, no burp waiting to come, and after having gotten reflux meds less than 2 hours before? And what can I do about it? <\/p>\n
3. Why does my friend’s baby, who is almost 2 months old, already sleep from 11 to 6 every night? Why can’t mine do that? (I actually know the answer to this one, but the reality still bugs me at 3 a.m. )<\/p>\n
4. Now that my twins are staying awake longer, but can’t actually play with toys or entertain themselves, what can I do with them? <\/p>\n
5. I’m getting tired of exclusively breastfeeding. When does real food come into the picture?<\/p>\n
6. Should I be reading books on parenting\/discipline\/etc. now? What are some good ones?<\/p>\n
7. How do you balance attention between two children? How do you make sure\/encourage their daddy to do the same?<\/p>\n
Okay, I guess that’s all the ones that come to mind right away. I’m sure there’s lots of answers out there, and I’m sure the answers are probably different for different children. But maybe some of your answers will work for me, too. Anyway, I’d love to hear them. Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
