Possible Talk on Babies and Sleep by Beth Grams Haxby

Beth Grams Haxby gives talks on young ones and sleep. I asked her if she'd be willing to do one geared specifically to families with twins and she said yes. If you are interested, when would be doable days / times for you? What about sometime like a Saturday 1-3 pm, or 10 am - 12 pm? (I would like to avoid a 6-8 pm weekday time, as I've seen her do!) She's looking into having it at the Cooley Dickinson Midwifery Center meeting space. Besides hearing her perspective, it could also be a great chance to hear from other twin parents about practical experiences & tips.
please leave your comment to this post if you are interested in attending and let us know what time would be best.

Naps

Hi,

a question for you parents of toddlers....my 26 month old twins are in a pattern of taking up to 1 1/2 hours to fall asleep during nap time.  They are usually in their room (both in cribs), bouncing around, giggling or quietly sitting talking, singing etc.  for the most part, no one is ever upset or crying.

They are usually up in the morning between 7 and 7:30, and I usually put them down for nap at 1p or 1:30....they are regularly not falling asleep until 2:30 or 3, or sometimes even past 3.  But, they almost always eventually fall asleep and sleep for at least 1 1/2-2 hours.  I don't let them sleep past 5.  On the days when naps run especially long, bedtime might get pushed back to 8:30 at latest.  They usually have no problems at bedtime and sleep thru the night.

my question is...have any of you experienced this?  I'm wondering if I should officially move nap time back so we can do more in early afternoon (after lunch), but fear they will get overtired and not take nap or will still take just as long to fall asleep, which would be too late in day.  maybe i should not worry about it as it doesn't seem to bother them to be up in their room for so long before falling asleep?

thanks for any sharing you may have!
