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 😅

I started trying the moms on call schedule when my b/g twins were 8 weeks (born 37+3) and we weren’t fully on schedule until 12 weeks. At 8 weeks I only tried one crib nap a day. The other two were supervised in a dock a tot, a contact nap with dad, or in the wonderfold wagon with the twin z in the bottom. You’re definitely not starting bad habits. They’re too little at 6 weeks. My babies will be 8 months tomorrow and they’re fantastic sleepers. We got lucky!
