@merciet Same for my single and twins - traumatic vaginal birth for single and planned c-section (both breech) for the twins. Planned c-section recovery was so much better than the traumatic vaginal birth recovery.

@ramallah So many people waiting in anticipation of a big show staring at me. And as soon as the babies were out I was nobody. From Taylor Swift to a long forgotten one hit wonder.

@reformed1 Our 3.5 year old is punishing us hard. But he really does love his brothers. Our twins are 10 weeks and the big kid is as much work, if not more. We try to give him as much attention as we can but it’s never enough. We have him going to school in the mornings and he has started...

@drterrapin Just want to add that if you don’t click with the first IBCLC you see, don’t have any hesitation of seeing another (and another if needed). And make sure they know about twins or at least premature babies. I met with one in the hospital who was awful and shamed me for trying nipple...

@lemonbalm For naps I try to feed when they wake so it’s feed-play-sleep-feed-play-etc. For bed we try to do big feed in the living room, play, bath(2-3 times a week), jammies, top up feed in the rocking chair, book/song, bed. We’re still rocking them to sleep as they’re only 12 weeks adjusted...

@lemonbalm Ours are 16 weeks. We had to triple feed for a while. From about 5/6 weeks I breastfed during the day (supplementing as needed) and pumped at night. My twins were not very effective at bf so bottles at night was a way to ensure they got a full feed. Until about 13/14 weeks they were...
