@goblue24 I guess from her perspective: her kid had a flat head too and she only had one. So maybe she felt hurt that you were insinuating the only reason yours have an issue is because there are two but if you’d just had one you could have held them more and prevented it? Respectfully, seems...

@goblue24 I don’t think this is a multiples vs. singleton thing honestly. It sounds like her intentions were good but she wasn’t reading your cues well. I don’t think she needed to acknowledge how much harder twins vs. singles are - something I think our community is quick to jump on.

@twinmum We did IUI to conceive so it definitely was on our radar. My betas were really high which made me more sure despite our nurse being all “nah it can still be a singleton!” Prior to that, no. But I had a strong feeling it was two at that point, and felt that it was a boy and a girl...

@keepitsimple144 I have to think about my own kids’ birthdays for a hot second most times. I’m so conditioned to people asking for MY birthday. They’re 4, and they have the same birthday. 😂 My dad often asked mine or my sister’s birthday when filling out forms or calling the doctor’s office...

@gembeldolar We also look at it as: how much is my time worth? So maybe you don’t spend actual money for a lawn service, but your husband spends 8hrs a week on lawn/landscape care…how much money does he make in one normal workday? Probably more than it would be for one day of lawn service to...

@liz555 My boy twin got in the habit of coming into our room and in our sleep deprived haze we’d let him stay. But then he learned that was fine. So do not let him stay. Back to bed every single time. No getting out of bed until that light changes color. I wouldn’t make it treat related because...

@mattman Psh, we used a Rubbermaid one.

@jwesley How often do you travel? My job recently necessitated travel after zero previously, and being away for a week at a time every month is tough. Tough on my family’s routine/structure, tough on my husband also working a demanding job with a long commute, tough on me feeling like I’m not...

@grace92 My nausea didn’t set in until week 8 and after that I had to take zofran daily until my C-section because it was so bad.

@oak1683 Ours both liked the Mam ones. Bonus: they make glow in the dark versions which are worth their weight in gold in the middle of the night when you’re stumbling around trying to quiet your babies.

@srfrazee Well said!

@mamabear777 Good for you! I love this 😊

@srrngugi Another plug for formula feeding or at least adding in a formula feed now and then. We exclusively FF our twins, made a full pitcher of formula every day and stuck it in the fridge and then it was ready to go immediately, and anyone can feed a baby (we fed cold).

@drewzz It had to have been more than one position, how else did you conceive TWICE?

@christiansworldwideweb Shoot, I dress my 3yos for daycare the night before 🤣 Boy wears a Tshirt and sweats, girl wears a shirt and leggings most of the time. Sometimes change them into jeans but we don’t do cutesy outfits to daycare 🤷‍♀️

@smaxiner They never shared a crib because of how unsafe it is. We got two cheap bassinets off Amazon (Dream on Me - Karly or something) and they were perfect. Then we moved to mini cribs for space saving when they shared a room.

@coolguy123 If you’re feeling this way, is going forward with the pregnancy the right thing? I love my twin 4yos but life has been HARD and that’s without a third kid. Sure there are great parts and I love my kids. I’m not sure I would have gone down the path (IF) I did knowing what I know now 🤷‍♀️

@brothermark83 We had a bit of a relapse when we focused on it more around 2.5, so we just backed off. And I agree, lots of pressure to do it early! Just like people brag about how their child(ren) hit whatever milestone so early or are the 99th percentile for height and weight or some other...

@jamesrabbit This exactly. Daycare helped a lot because they were there all day so they’d offer them to use the potty frequently. Mine were trained “late” compared to most kids, they were 3.5yrs, but it was very little effort for us. As soon as my son saw my daughter getting all the...

@atlascloud Thank you! ☺️ I absolutely don’t feel like there are enough hours in the day and I’m not willing to sacrifice my 8hrs of sleep so I do still struggle to do it all, but I do my best to set myself up for success.
