Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Hi Jill! I just wanted to say how scary it must have been for you with Tommy's cord wrapped around his neck! These babies really know how to test even before they are born! Unfortunately, I don't have any hints for you about the use of binkys. We have been trying (unsuccessfully, I might add) to wean our 2 and 1/2 year old from using the pacifier. We also Ferberized the twins when it came to bedtime. We have 2 older boys who we didn't ferberize and my oldest still comes into our bed during the night. I finally wised up by the time the twins came along. I felt bad listening to them cry, even if it was just for a couple of minutes here or there. But I am happy to say that it has worked! The twins go to bed around 7:30 at night and don't get up until 7 the next morning. They have been sleeping this way since they were three months old. Yippee! Its really nice talking to other twin moms! Feel free to email or instant message me anytime! My address is IrishEyes175@...! Looking forward to talking to you again!
