@francislhevinn They make tons of travel beds that are strap like things, maybe look into those? Try the $30 option that packs up smaller first!

@poisgo I have a single bob and a double bob. I couldn’t have enjoyed going out with my single for my singleton and couldn’t walk nearly as far. I’m just starting to use my double but I feel like I will very much feel the same way in a few months when my twins get to that stage. I enjoy my...

@tabbycat11 With my first, I had a really long tough battle of my daughter not gaining weight. She showed all the signs that she was eating enough by breastfeeding, but in reality she wasn’t transferring nearly enough. I made it until month 4, when I went crazy and did every feed for a weighted...

@genine No. I don’t feel bad asking my husband to parent as a partner. I’m a SAHM. While my husband is working, I don’t bother him unless it’s an emergency (he’s WFH) such as an injury. Outside of when he’s working, we both share the parenting responsibilities evenly. We acknowledge that other...

@abctradelinks I’m team bob for a few reasons: - shorter wheelbase than the Thule, which I personally like the feel of more for walking and running - has legit suspension (the baby jogger one doesn’t have visible suspension) - easy to fold - easy to service with lube etc - cheaper to find used

@peace608 Ima chime in with my singleton experience, knowing that twins are different and boys vs girls are different. We were super motivated to potty train my singleton girl around 22m so that she was out of diapers before our twins arrived. We tried to using the oh crap no undies method and...

@asupersquirrel They have one that’s called the snap now or something which my friend did. She said it was super easy. I did the finger lance one and it wasn’t enjoyable and I had a hard time getting enough blood out. You can also have it done in a lab setting if there’s one close by you. Also...

@giantgecko I stopped BF my very skinny daughter at 4m and it made no changes except she started growing a lot better. I ALSO have twins, 9m. Both are EFF since the hospital, and usually on the twinZ. They both LOVE me and know me and are super bonded, even with not holding one as much as the...

@fayanth I personally never fell in love with wrap carriers or ring slings. I did use my k’tan for a while, and they make a sport version of that. If you are considering a structured carrier: My favorite carrier is the Tula FTG from a comfort perspective. I saw they came out with the Tula Lite...

@cptbobproffesoromemeology It’s hard enough for me to move one of my twins to the middle seat of our truck over another Keyfit base. I would not choose to go from the front seat. The longer your arms have to be out with that much weight… it’s hard on the body. Even though it’s earlier than...

@ramonguitar I used to believe that babies didn’t play together, like with my first when we would get together with other babies she would just do her own thing usually. Look at the other kid some, kind of fight over the toys and maybe engage with them 10% of the time. All totally within the...

@silvercaster Yeah, I tried the Becco Gemini. I liked it a lot better with the H. My favorite carrier though is Tula and they don’t allow for the straps to cross.

@silvercaster I prefer the H strap because of how it makes my neck feel!

@ajmacia2 I’ve traveled with my single bob multiple times and just gate checked it without a bag. There’s a giant JL Childress one (blue) that supposedly fits it but it isn’t padded.

@faithgirlfl I liked having two bags packed. A “I have to go in and get extra tests since something is going on” but only thought I’d be at the hospital for half a day, and then the real go bag. The separate bag made it easy for me to drive myself to NSTs and such that take forever and have...

@lily01 No, just the bush. My incision is below my hairline. I don’t normally shave that area (just keep it trimmed) and was advised by others not to shave down below in the event of tearing during a vaginal birth. Sleeping was fine enough, and I was in the hospital for 3 nights. I would wake...

@silvercaster Breeze: not for me in general. Could never get a good fit with ergos but my husband loves it. I got it used. But I hate how often the slides slide in. I think it’s a design flaw. Explore: my favorite carrier even for inward facing. I find it more supportive than the FTG FTG...

@lily01 Ask away! Not OP, but 6w post c-sec! For me, they gave me oxycodone when I was leaving the hospital. Tylenol and ibuprofen was every 6-8h, not 4 like OP. My ibuprofen was supposed to be every 8, but my SIL is a dr, and said I could totally do every 6, so I did that instead and alternated...

@thanksyoueel I tandem wear with my twingo and find it pretty quick to put on! I’m definitely far from a wrap person though and love my SSC. With how you do it with that, it’s like 30sec between babies going on.

@elise82 The Graco Slimfit definitely fits in my Outback! I could also do 2x keyfits with the Keyfit 35 base and the Slimfit in the middle.
