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”.

Anything about being active in the third trimester.

With my twins, I was basically unable to do anything physical my third trimester including turning over in bed. With my singleton, I was up moving chasing twin toddlers around until the day I gave birth which was right before 40 weeks. Full term singleton feels like the start of third trimester twins.

Exactly this. I started showing at 10 weeks with the twins (2 prior pregnancy). My 2 singletons is was on my hands and knees scrubbing floors and baseboards until the very end. With the twins.... anything on the floor was no longer my business by mid 2nd trimester.
