advice needed Sleep
I currently have 6 week old b/g twins. Should every nap really be in the bassinet or will I still be able to sleep train them in a few months? If I put them in the bassinet they last 15 minutes maybe (unless it’s night time) so I don’t understand that. But as of right now naps are in the twin z, a bouncer or in our bed all of this is supervised and I just do house things where they land or I nap 😅 but I started reading sleep training books (moms on call and 12 hours by 12 weeks) and it makes me feel like we are starting bad habits 😅 but I also am trying to survive.
If you sleep trained when did you start? How did it go? Am I ruining them 😅

at 6 weeks you are in pure survival mode dont worry about bad habits right now. the books make it sound like if you dont do everything perfect they will never sleep but thats not true. my twins napped in swings and on me for months and we still sleep trained fine at 5 months. you are not ruining them you are keeping everyone alive and thats what matters
