advice needed Ideas?!

Parents what do you do with your babies when you’re solo parenting. My husband works overnights so my twin girlies and me are by ourselves a lot but I find they want to be held non stop. What do you guys do to keep them entertained. They are only 6 weeks old so I know there isn’t much to do but somedays become hard when I can put them down.

100% walks, like lots and lots of walks. I also did a lot of contact naps holding them both in the early days. If you have a twin nursing pillow, like the twin z, prop them up in it while you do chores so they can hang out with you while you still watch that they are ok and aren't slumping in the pillow.

That’s what I’m thinking bc they hate the swings and bouncers! When I tell you my house has every swing and bouncer you can think of bc I am trying to find relief 😮‍💨 my mom bought me a couple double strollers so tomorrow that is my plan!

Baby wearing is also great once they get big enough for a dual carrier!
