Every week or so I get this email in my inbox that talks about what my twins should be up to at this point in time of their development. And after the one that I received today I'm really wondering whether or not the person writing them has any knowledge of babies or if mine are just the exception.
At 4.5 months (adjusted) this email says "at this point in time you may have noticed regular sleeping patterns emerging and you may feel some relief in knowing it will be now possible for you to get out of the house. Go have coffee with a friend ... when its time for the baby to sleep just pull the shade over the stroller and she will automatically fall asleep at her scheduled time." or some such shit to the effect.
ahhhhhhhhhh ... no.
Not my babies anyway. I have wonderful sleepers for the most part - if the house is relatively quiet, they are in their own cribs and the room is slightly dim at least. But go to sleep in the stroller while mommy has a coffee all by their little selves?? Don't think so. If you so much as even slightly slow down on the movement of the stroller or car the four little eyes pop open and its game over.
