@goblue24 There is specifically a 'connection' between flat-head and neglect, to the point where my health visitor argued that the correlation between flat-head and needing special ed in school (there is a correlation, yes) are likely both symptoms of the same thing: neglect at home, rather than...

@komdiarect I just couldn't handle the idea that I could end up possibly having one baby vaginally and then still have a c-section for the second. I just really really didn't want that, so I went with a c-section. I did somewhat regret it though because the recovery was awful.

@sensistar We are at 7 months and they are sharing toys and holding hands and 'talking' etc. Today they started like.. I dunno.. wrestling? And they were just rolling around and laughing so hard. It was adorable.

@quaheem Scheduled C at 38+2, all good!

@taliporos I never managed to get ours down for naps 'at the same time' when I was alone, it took about 20 mins per baby to get them down and they only stayed asleep for half an hour on a good day, so they'd overlap by about 10 mins which was totally bloody useless lol. We actually gave up on...

@shaz7 One at a time is much much safer, especially when you are in the fourth trimester and likely sleep deprived etc. I cannot recommend this enough though: https://snugglebundl.co.uk/ - these things SAVED my back and made picking them up without disturbing them so so much easier when they...

@saved1970 We are taking our girls to Corfu with my Mum. They will be 18 months and it's a 4 hour flight or so which is about the max I could imagine staying sane for. I'm super excited, I know it will be hard at times but I also think it will be super fun. So we are going. All this to say, I...

@zondaar39 My husband has two brothers.. their Mum just picked a colour for each of them and stuck to it.. So one always had black, one blue and one grey. You can go for more interesting colours and patterns of course, but that seems the most straightforward way.

@jramos1996 Ughhh no. If I had to be up at 5am my hard stop would be like.. I dunno.. 7.30pm?

@doodlum1 Infertility IS sad... it's so heartbreaking. It was one of the hardest things I have ever been through if I'm honest.. however when I'm sat there with TWINS.. IVF is no longer a sad thing.. it's a super happy wondrous thing that ended my infertility with a bang. In that circumstance...

@doodlum1 Ours are also IVF and I also just tell people the truth if they ask.. I don't really understand why it makes people uncomfortable though (but it does seem to). I don't really think it's a big deal?

@pastoruc I'm so terrified for my future.

@james02s40 It seems like you're more likely to give him issues with food if you don't manage to get your anxiety under control. :(

@smaxiner 100% separate, it's not safe to have them in the same cribs. We very very occasionally napped them in a pack n' play together when they were very young (like 1 week) and swaddled and I was right next to them the whole time.

@fab01 Yes, we have DBS checks here + references.

@fab01 I'm in the UK but I was basically searching on childcare websites. Lots of back and forth online before inviting people for an interview.. then really just chatting.. asking about experience.. and questions like.. "How would you handle a situation where they were both melting down at the...

@fab01 Yeah, I am super shy and super introvert so I really disliked the idea of having a stranger all up in my space but I reaaaally didn't want to do daycare and I wfh so I liked the idea of being able to pop out and see them.. Ultimately it worked out really well though. We took our time in...

@fab01 There's actually a study (and related articles) that come up a lot on /r/sciencebasedparenting that talk about the impact of daycare at various ages. According to these studies, before 3 daycare is detrimental and can lead to poor behaviour at school. The earlier they go to daycare the...

@rachelred827 Goddamnit I can't get my 5 month old twins to take a pacifier. For the love of my sanity I need that crutch so badly. >.
