I've heard a fair share of criticism about it, but IMO, it's a lot easier to recreate a white noise environment somewhere than it is to make it totally silent if that's what they're used to. I kept V swaddled to some extent until well past 6 months. It made all the difference in the world.<BR/><BR/>Re: twins being a lot of work. As my brother (daddy to 9mo twins) put it, "having twins is way more than twice the work!"

Can you imagine how huge Katie looked at 8lb10oz when she was born?? LOL<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that the cereal is finally helping Gracie. It's a hard spot to be in...trying to wait out the cereal or deciding whether to ask (and push) for some meds. You know that I'm not one to medicate quickly, but with reflux I'd be nervous about acid damange.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully you got some sleep last night and I'm glad that the fan worked. Katie always slept better swaddled and she has noise when she first goes to sleep too. I'll have to burn some copies of my CD's and send them to you. Little by little, those girls will start to get on track. I know however, how frustrating it is right now when they're not.<BR/><BR/>Keep doing what you're doing. You're doing a fantastic job mama! And don't worry about housework, showers, etc. Katie's almost 9 months old and I can't tell you the last time my hair was actually blown out and "done". Many days I'm in my jammies until well in the afternoon. Enjoy those girls! They grow so fast and a dirty house can wait!<BR/><BR/>Love ya.

I still to this day use a sound machine with him. It seems to put him to sleep faster, and it also keeps the noise out of his room (dang barking dogs!)<BR/><BR/>Glad you got the reflux under control. That can be hard on little ones. But, they're both gaining weight, so that's a good sign!<BR/><BR/>Hope the sleep schedules get on the right path. Hang in there!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788593857998937296noreply@blogger.com
