It’s amazing how quickly total peace can become absolute chaos. The challenge of caring for twins is flow management. At six weeks old they are still on a three hour cycle around the clock, and it’s important to stagger their cycles. Trey generally wants to eat on the threes (3:00, 6:00, 9:00 & 12:00) and Benji eats in-between (1:30, 4:30, 7:30 and 10:30). This gives us about 90 minutes to change, feed, play and put-down each baby before the next one is ready. Getting off schedule can mean both babies are needy at the same time, which is difficult for a single caretaker. When this happens, you might as well pick up the camera.
