How long do you leave one twin alone?

For those that are solo in the daytime, how long do you leave one twin alone? For example my twins nap in separate rooms and when i put one twin down for a nap it might take 5-10 mins. Do you leave the other twin alone in another room for that long or do you take the twin with you? Mine arent mobile yet (3 mos) so i could leave one in a bouncer or playmat.

 

If they are in a safe and secure area and their older sister is somewhere that she can't get to them, I will leave one or both of them alone for 20 - 30 minutes. Basically long enough for me to get a shower and start feeling human again. Mine are 2 months so they are also not mobile and not even rolling over so that makes it easier to do. Once they can move around I would probably change what makes them safe and secure more than the amount of time.

 

I've always felt more comfortable leaving the other one in a PnP or their crib if I was going to be longer than a few minutes.

 

I would usually put mine in a car seat if I had to do something for a few minutes, that way they were secure. They always had those toys that strapped across it to play with until I was done. I think a bouncy seat or playpen is good too though. I was a big worrier, so I didn't leave them alone longer than 3-5 minutes while I tended to the other one. I even strapped them both in their car seats and put them in the bathroom floor while I took a shower with the shower curtain open, LOL.

 

I'm like the first poster. If they're safe and secure and out of the reach of a sibling I'm okay.

 

I did this except instead of an older sister, I had dogs to secure. There were also times when they were in their exersaucers/bouncers and I'd fall asleep on the couch 4 feet from them and take a light nap while they did their thing. As they got older and more mobile, I dropped them in their cribs if I needed to do something.
