RNP/newborn question

[Koala]

Quick question about Rock n Plays.
My twins are 2.5 weeks old. They spit up a lot when they are flat on their backs, so they have been spending a ton of time in their RNPs both day and night. They sleep really well in there.

We try to hold them as much as possible, but that becomes somewhat difficult with 2. I'd like to reduce the amount of time they are spending in the RNPs, but honestly don't know where to put them when we can't hold them.

Where does your newborn hang out during the day?

You could get a bounty seat and/or swing to switch it up a bit

Also baby wearing one would be easy and they could take turns between that and the rnp

My sis uses Boppy Loungers for her twins (also boy/girl, 3 weeks old today!). I used one for my dd who had reflux. I love it because baby doesn't fall down through it like with a regular boppy, they are super portable, and keep baby slightly inclined but still free to move. It's nice to have an alternative to another device.

I alternate between swing, bouncy seat, flat on back on a blanket or propped in on the boppy on the couch when im sitting there.

I loved Boppy loungers for my twins!

My newborn spends her time on me in the solly wrap being worn, literally laying on me if I'm on the couch, in the mamaroo or her bounceroo. She loves being worn and the bounceroo, mamaroo is hit or miss.

I propped mine on a boppy that had a blanket over it for several weeks. He would sort of sit and look around.

I was usually looking for a way to put him down. I felt so trapped sitting with a baby.

My twins hang out in the Twin Z breast feeding pillow. It also works well for tummy time and is starting to help provide some support as they try to sit up.

Thanks guys!
I think we will move them around from hanging out on us, wearing them (we have an ergo and a mei tai), and putting them in the boppy loungers or bouncy seat.

We'll probably keep the rock n plays for nighttime for now.

DD is either in my arms, in the MamaRoo or in the Solly wrap. She also naps on the Uppababy Bassinet, but that's a flat surface.

The bouncer seat is where I put Owen after eating if I need to get stuff done. Or I wear him in my ring sling. He likes both. He loves his swing but has a tendency to get motion sick if I put him in there within 30 minutes of eating. I can however put him there without it swinging and just turn on the music and mobile portions.

We used this www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-T2518-Newborn-to-Toddler-Portable-Rocker/dp/B002OOWAB2/ref=sr_1_2?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1444498392&sr=1-2&keywords=portable+infant+to+toddler+rocker and loved it - it's also nice that she can continue to use it for a few years. Otherwise I probably would have gone with a bouncer.

We used the floor a lot. Can they do tummy time without spitting up?

[karinothing]

If awake, then floor or in my arms. Bouncy seat during dinner

[lucky513]

we alo used the twin z pillow

Mine lived in their RNPs at first. They had slept in them at night till 5 mos. Around 2 or 3 mos I bought snugabunny bouncers and that's what they were in during the day. They still napped in the RNP until they went to cribs. DD would also nap in the swing. Mine were spitters too so they helped.

Also we did tummy time a lot on boppys until they liked their play mat more.

Ds lived in the boppy lounger for the first 3 mos. I'm sad that he's outgrowing it.

my friend with twins loves the Twin Z pillow.

[cricketwife]

Another boppy lounger fan here!

All my pics of G on maternity leave are in the rnp. It looks like he never left it, lol. He loved it and did I.

I like the suggestion of baby wearing and Tummy time, in your situation. .
