I’ve had a lot of people ask me what our schedule looks like for two newborns, if they’re on the same schedule, and if they sleep at the same times. As a twin mom, or really any mom, routine is SO SO important. I’m no master at this but I just wanted to share with you what works for us. I think it would work for twins or 1 baby!
It’s all about the same routine every dang day. As soon as we get out of our routine, both girls get SO fussy which makes mom SO fussy. Here is what a normal day looks like at our house with the girls and our sleep schedules.
5:30-6:30 AM: Rise and Shine! Girls get screen time (Don’t @ me) on the TV with Nick Jr and momma gets diapers, bottles, and clothes ready for the day.
7:00 Unswaddle from sleep sacks, take off owlets, diaper change, and bottle feeding. Girls get to play with toys on the ground for awhile while momma is tending to each twin.
8:00 Girls get in walkers or have active floor time. Rolling, crawling etc.
9:00 We go into the nursery and I start to rock a baby. She goes down and I rock the next. Naps in crib.
10:00ish- Wake up and eat solids for breakfast
10:30 Diaper change and get into clothes for the day
11:00 Play, active time
12:00 Nap #2
1:00 Wake up and eat solids for lunch, or have a bottle. Whichever we’re feeling!
1:30 Play and activity time
2:30 Walk time for mom and babies, girls sleep
3:30 Diaper change and bottle time
4:00 Dad gets home so play time with him, active time, and maybe another walk
5:30 Dinner time, solids
6:30 Bath, Bottles, Bedtime routine
AND that folks is our day in a nutshell. Does it ever go exactly to plan? HECK no but we always keep that routine and it makes for happy babes!
Xoxo,
Ash
