In reply to Elizabeth. Yes Elizabeth - Schedules totally saved my sanity with twins, and I believe set up a good foundation for their nap longevity. And, yeah, i wouldn't wake up my babies/toddlers/preschoolers if people stopped by to visit. No way!

I must admit that a schedule probably saved my bacon with twins. I think I underwent some criticism for it (people would come over and I wouldn’t wake up the girls, or I was so set on my nap schedule that it affected other social parts of my life) but it maintained my sanity. And, I will swear to this day that is one of the big reasons why my little ones sleep so well now! My one five year old has already become a “scheduler” herself with a calendar and checklist…hopefully that is a good thing!

In reply to Corinna. There was a three year gap between my twins and my son. And I agree it was so nice of a gap! The girls helped so much with their baby brother and could do so much more for themselves and weren't in diapers anymore either.

I don’t know how I was fortunate enough to have 2 daughters who are so easy-going, but I don’t know how I would have managed it otherwise. I think a schedule is wise if you have multiple young children but we ended up with a 3 year age gap between the two. It was the perfect situation for us because the 3 year old was a great age to sort of help out and wasn’t in diapers while I was caring for an infant. I still wonder what it would have been like with twins and I doubt I’ll ever find out, but I’m happy with the end result 🙂 And it helped in being a SAHM because scheduling wasn’t as necessary in getting the children to specific places at specific times on a daily basis.
