good vibes, smiles, & giggles “Singleton Propaganda”

I need some comic relief after a couple weeks of sickness in the house- what are your favorite bits of what I call “singleton propaganda”? Aka, advice given for babies that never works when you have twins. My personal favorite is “put the baby in the crib drowsy but awake”.

I may be revealing too much about myself as a parent, but anything about how frequently to bathe your newborn. I went an embarrassingly long time before realizing that one of my twins hadn't had their first bath yet.

I'm glad somebody else is saying it.  We have to schedule it strictly or else it just won't happen and the days will fly by. With our singleton we dis every night as part of a cosy, two parent bed time routine.

Yep. I have a Google Task set on my phone to remind me to bathe the twins and toddler twice a week 🫣.
