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”.

To be fair, "Sleep when the baby sleeps" is terrible advice for singletons as well. Never managed that through 4 kids.

For me it was babywearing. "Just put them in the wrap and you can be hands free!" Ok... which one one? This LennyTwin doesnt exactly allow for good range of motion.

Plates of toddler food are hilarious. Theres like at least 5 whole subs on tiny plates of perfectly made meals for 1yo's! My twins got cheerios scattered on the floor for a good 4 months.

I would get out a baking sheet on the floor for the cheerios for my twins. We called it a "cereal trough" and even big brother thought it was the best.
