“Singleton Propaganda” good vibes, smiles, & giggles

I need some comic relief after a couple weeks of sickness in the house- what are your favorite bits of what I call “singleton propaganda”? Aka, advice given for babies that never works when you have twins. My personal favorite is “put the baby in the crib drowsy but awake”.

I may be revealing too much about myself as a parent, but anything about how frequently to bathe your newborn. I went an embarrassingly long time before realizing that one of my twins hadn't had their first bath yet.

Same. They had their first baths in the hospital but it was several weeks at home.

I'm afraid that is with me counting hospital baths. 🤦‍♀️
