Hi there,

I feel for you with twins, you have my respect, I'm not sure I'd have the energy to do it!

My daughter refused to nap in her crib (for more than 5-10 minutes) until she was 7 months old. She'd sleep there at night (not thorugh the night but at night) but if we laid her there for a nap she'd wake up right away and SCREAM. So although I know she was "supposed" to sleep in her crib, most of the time she ended up napping in the playpen, or with me holding her, or in her bouncy chair or swing (when she was smaller).

Now that it's summer and she's a year old and I have time off from work we wanted to get her on a schedule of napping. She's a year old, but she's doing much better. She naps in her crib and she knows our routine. Now that she's older she doesn't have a hard time getting int he crib because she knows that's the only place she gets her binky...so sometimes she needs to rest even when she's not sleepy just to have some quiet time and rest with her stuffed animal and binky.

Good luck, your little ones will fall into a routine soon and once you get some sleep you will feel so much better (my daughter didn't consistently sleep through the night until 10 months...when she did it made a HUGE difference on both of our lives!)
