Just curious how everyone put their 2 week old twins down for their nap. Seems like they just want to be held and there is only one of me! I'm exhausted!

IVF (BCPs starting 10/30/12, ER 11/18/12, 5dt of 1 beautiful, healthy embryo 11/23/12)
BFP 12/02/12, u/s @ 6w,5d showed 2 HBs! Identical twins!!
Bed rest from 21w-35w due to short cervix, hospital bed rest from 23w-32w due to PTL
Our rainbows were born 07/19/13 (36w, 5d)
At that age it was so tough to get them to do the same thing at the same time. What helped was getting to a point where I could feed them at the same time. I would feed them half of their bottle and then swaddle them half way through. By the time they were finished they were pretty groggy and I could often rock them in their bouncy seat or place them in the swing to put them out. Good luck!
My boys will generally sleep through their feedings or fall asleep before it's done. On the off chance they are awake, I usually put them in the boppy, bouncy chair, & recently started using the swing. We still don't have a lot of awake time yet since they were born at 36 weeks and I would have been 38 weeks today. The past couple days, Logan has been fussier and wanting to be held more. I feel bad for Kaden that he doesn't get held as much when that happens. To be honest there isn't tons of holding them because I have my 3 year old too.
I just swaddled them up and put them to bed after about an hour of awake time but my babies were pretty sleepy around that age.
Around 3 months when they were more awake I used the swing for almost every nap (even though I said I wasn't going to get into that habit). So helpful!
