What are the wonder weeks? and Play time?

Anyone have a good website showing the wonder weeks/ huge milestone months?

 Also, anyone have any ideas on play time? I feel like all they do is tummy time or sit in a swing, we have twins.

This is a decent description of the wonder weeks but looking at it, it's not ringing true for my DD.  Playtime will come as your twins get older, they're so young there's not much they can do other than swing and have tummy time.  You can try singing silly songs to them or reading books but they aren't going to have a great attention span for a while.

A playmat would totally get their attention at this age or a bouncy seat with stuff hanging in front of it. Books say babies want to start looking at stuff as early as 5weeks.

There is a wonder weeks app on iTunes, for $1.99 you get the chart with your LO's location noted as she grows, descriptions of each leap, symptoms to expect and resulting behaviors. I found it helpful.

as for playtime, I found that age super hard. They are too small to "play" much, but singing to them and engaging them is what I'd suggest. I think 1-2 months is hard bc they start to get bored, but they are able to really participate in play consistently. 


After a loss and 4 IUIs, a surprise BFP while on rest cycle due to cysts and "supercharged ovaries" brought us baby M.
