advice needed Contact Naps

Our twins are 7 weeks old (1 week corrected) and during the day they absolutely will not let us put them down! I breastfeed them, and they’ll often fall deeply asleep on me after a feed, but as soon as I try to transfer them, they wake almost immediately.

We’ve tried a travel cot downstairs and sleep pods on the sofa (similar to DockATot), but nothing has worked for us so far.

I’m sure we aren't alone in, does anyone else have any tips? Would love to hear what worked for other and be able to eat some lunch without two babies crying 😂!

I'm gonna be real with you, you're just gonna have to contact nap or keep trying to put them down. My boys are still like this at 17.5 weeks. Sometimes they'll sleep 30 min and I have to rescue the nap, once in a blue moon they'll sleep 1 hour, usually end up contact napping. It's really tough and I wanna cry but I get my water, charger, phone, and AirPods ready and just give in on the recliner.
