[quote=Anonymous] When I had two-year-old twins and an infant,  I would set them up with an activity, start a playlist of children’s audiobooks that we recorded together, and close the gate on the door of their baby proofed room.

I also cut down on the amount of time it took to put the baby to bed. We did her bottle downstairs, burped her on the walk up the stairs, and it was only a three minute bedtime routine which consisted of singing her special lullaby while changing her diaper and getting her sleep sack on.

As for naptime, even when my kids think they are done with naptime, we still do mandatory quiet time each day in their bed with a limited supply of toys.

TV is a cop out. If you take that option off the table for you, then you will find a way to make it work.  It is fine if eliminating TV is not your priority right now, but I just roll my eyes at people who claim that there’s no way to live without it with small children. It feels essential because you always have it as an option. [/quote]
