The main reasons babies cry are because they are hungry or sleepy. It is also true that It is not easy to put them to sleep, And things get even more complicated when we have not just one baby, but two. And the big question arises: How can we get our twins to fall asleep at the same time?
In Doña Carmen, we want to give you some tips you should keep in mind so your twins fall asleep at the same time.
It is very important that we have some established routines and that we respect the schedules .
It is recommended that the cribs are together. The goal is for them to be able to see each other, as this gives them security. But we must never forget that each person needs their own space.
As we mentioned before, routines are very important, as they help establish a sleep schedule. Our twins must eat during the day, so it's crucial to establish schedules for both feeding and sleeping, so they'll gradually adapt to these changes.
You should keep in mind that you'll occasionally have to wake them up to eat, until they're older and you can increase the time between feedings. Nights can be very hard, and we as parents also need to get some rest to be able to face the nights more calmly.
We should always be aware of all the babies' movements ; in the case of twins, this requires double attention. It is recommended that children sleep near their parents for at least the first six months, until they adjust to their new environment.
This makes it easier for us to keep an eye on them, especially at night. But We must never forget that babies cannot get used to sleeping in their parents' bed . Twins should have their own crib and be close together so they can keep each other warm.
Another alternative would be to use a double crib specifically designed for twins. This is a very safe way for babies to feel close and feel more at ease when they feel their brother or sister's presence. It's an ideal solution for keeping children together and also saves space.
At Doña Carmen we have 100% cotton sheets which are ideal for our babies' cribs.

It's important for parents, or perhaps grandparents, to alternate between nights so they can rest through the night without interruptions. Finding coordination is the key to success, don't you think?
You always have to be attentive when it comes to newborns, Because they're unpredictable. Just when you think you've got everything under control, little ones surprise you; they start doing different things, and we really love that about them.
If a situation arises where one of them is awake and the other is not, you have to wake up the sleeping person to get them to eat.
When we talk about twins, it's only natural that one child will be more active and the other quieter. Therefore, at bedtime, as a general rule, We should try to put the most restless baby to sleep first. This way we will prevent him from waking up screaming or crying and, as a result, waking his brother/sister.
If one of the children wakes up during the night, it's best not to overwhelm yourself and try as much as possible to avoid waking the other baby.
Sleep is a skill that develops very rapidly in newborns during the first few months of life. Of course, parenting twins is more complicated than parenting a single child. That's why we must be very patient with them, know their tastes, their personalities , it may seem complicated, but it is not impossible.
The environment in which they will sleep, that is, The room should be as quiet as possible and the lighting should be dim.
Another aspect to keep in mind is that babies sometimes feel safer during sleep if they have a blanket or soft stuffed animal to keep them company.
