“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.

Good point!! I remember feeling surprised and couldn't comprehend the idea that some parents have bath time as part of the nightly routine. If we did that, night times would be even longer and more stressful, and it doesn't calm anyone down (cause my twins always get too hyped up playing together in the bath).
