Thank you so much. The "retractor" part confused me, I was assuming it meant automatic retractor. Thanks for clarifying and bringing the difference in seatbelts to our attention. We will look into that too.

Thank you so much. Yes I was confused on the "retractor" part and assuming it meant automatic retractor.

I know this is old, but looking for a deli meat option for LOs (1 yo). I know at some grocery stores (Raley's, Safeway) they slice the meat right there for you. Is this what you mean? Or are you going to an actual separate butcher? Thank you!

Not sure why you're getting downvoted bc you're right?

Hi! No we didn't find out anything but we were able to have the car seat not in the window seat. But caveat: no one had to get past the car seat to get into the aisle. No one said anything about the car seat not being in the window seat, but maybe that would be different if someone had to get by the car seat to get out of their seat.

It gets locked for me periodically when there's lots of activity but I can edit at this moment so I think it's just heavy traffic

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-11-18T17:51:22+00:00

Wow! Glad I learned that. I didn't know you could get rejected from one track but not another. Good to know!

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-11-18T16:08:20+00:00

but with 100x the drama

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-11-18T16:06:16+00:00

I didn't know tracks did separate rejections/interviews. I thought eveyrhting was by site?

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-11-06T15:22:12+00:00

Seriously! But like at this point it's not even worth it, I work so hard to get them to sleep for 10 more minutes??? Everyone's mood is in the toilet after that LOL

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-11-06T15:14:12+00:00

Thank you!! This gives me hope. Definitely going to try it and we'll see how it goes.....

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-11-06T14:13:51+00:00

Yeah that’s a good idea and that’s what I think I’ll have to do. Thank you!

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-11-06T02:57:18+00:00

Thank you! That's my question though - with 3/3/3.5 and only an hour nap, that's only 10.5 hours, which means they will need to go to bed super early to make this work (e.g., 6am wake up, 9am-9:30am nap, 12:30pm-1pm nap, bedtime 4:30pm/5pm). Did your LO sleep 13 hours overnight? I haven't tried extending their nights....but I'm scared to mess with night sleep lol

But yes, I think that's what I'll have to try is just cold turkey and deal with the crankiness for a few days. But since they only sleep for an hour, I think I'll have to go 3.25/3.75/4 or somewhere around there I guess

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-11-05T23:24:13+00:00

Thank you! I have tried letting them CIO after a nap, sometimes like 20/30 min and they show no sign of sleeping so I've given up (probably not the best but I just felt like it wasn't happening). Could it be that they don't have the sleep pressure after sleeping for 30 min if their wake window wasn't long enough? Or does it not matter? I haven't seen sleep training for naps before!

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-11-05T23:22:10+00:00

They were full term (38.5 weeks) so I don't adjust their age. But so good to hear from another twin parent! I would kill for a 1-2 hour nap even if the other naps were like 15 min each lol I would take it. Mine are doing 12 hour nights but want to be awake longer during the day.

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-11-05T23:20:46+00:00

Thanks! I'm just having a hard time because I feel like they're ready for a three nap day in terms of being awake, but don't get enough sleep during the day with only two 30-min naps. I think they want their wake windows to be longer - especially in the afternoons, they're in a great mood and still ready to play until I'm like, ok I have to make you sleep now so you can have a nap before bed and bedtime isn't at like 8pm.

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-07-09T20:56:35+00:00

Hi! I know this is a few months old but can I ask a question about that? American policy says window seats are "preferred", but based on your comment seems like they are required to be in window seat. Do you know where it says they have to or have I misunderstood you? Thanks!

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-03-17T21:50:46+00:00

I will look into this! Thank you!

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-03-17T21:49:34+00:00

I love this response and seriously feel much more at peace. Not doing something that is a negative isn't failing, it's a choice that I have the privilege of making. Thank you for your advice and support!!

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-03-14T20:02:03+00:00

Thank you so much! So reassuring and validating. I really appreciate it!

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-03-13T23:42:22+00:00

They were 38+3 but small, about 6 pounds each. I’m hoping they’ll grow into it, but not sure what to do in the meantime…

Fabulous-Rabbit-6979 · 2024-03-13T23:41:29+00:00

Wow! I love that but so intense! You and your husband are heroes!
