As a father of three, Mark Ruffalo knows a thing or two about raising kids, so it's no wonder his co-star, Zoe Saldana, would turn to him for some advice when it comes to raising her twin boys.
One topic that has been plaguing the Avatar actress has been the concept of sleep training. But according to Ruffalo, she should "just forget it." The Foxcatcher actor dished to E! News that he told his Infinitely Polar Bear co-star that it's not worth stressing about.
"Let them come in your bed and slowly transition them out," he suggested. He said that trying to force children to sleep in their own bed could cause "major problems." Saldana recently opened up to Jimmy Kimmel about the struggle she and husband Marco Perego have been enduring since trying to sleep train their boys, explaining that twins means double the trouble.
"Sleep training twins is no joke because you put one to sleep and you lay him down, and the other one has been asleep, but then that one wakes up and the other one wakes up so then everybody's crying, then my husband and I are crying...You're like, 'Oh, my God!'"
She added that there are "so many different methods" when it comes to trying to get her babies to bed. After she and her husband tried every method possible, they both would cave and pick up their children, resulting in lost efforts. But thankfully she had Ruffalo to reassure her that it will all be OK.
Kimmel also suggested having the twins sleep in separate rooms. "They wake each other up. I don't know. They were born together. It's unnatural to separate them," she said. "In my mind, it just makes sense."
But she did admit to E! News that she does have some extra help who give some guidance.
"We're in the middle of sleep training so we have two nannies who are wonderful. One that's helping us and sort of guiding us and teaching us how to sleep train," she explained. "We just have extra hands because we are new time parents and the twins are giving us a run for our money."
