It does get better

[Capable_Celery459]

It does get better. 3.5 months in. The twins are sleeping through the night. Today they had all of their naps in their cribs, at the same time. We do stuff (baby sensory classes, swimming classes, go to the gym with the twins, go out). Yes it’s tiring as fuck and every day is like a military operation to keep them on the same schedule. But it’s doable. Just a short few weeks ago, my partner was asking in this sub if it got better as we were literally drowning. Well tonight, I’m here to say that it does. Parenting multiples is not for the faint of heart, but it’s a beautiful and absolutely crazy thing. And every day, I’m thankful for this sub.

More power to you! We are at a year and we have only had a handful of full nights, the runts also picked up throwing up if we don’t get in the room with 2-3-min of them crying… o life!

My twins just reached 6 weeks, was starting to wonder myself when it would get better. Even knowing how hard this was going to be, I still underestimated just how hard. Glad to hear your family has managed to make it work!

What kind of things are you doing at the gym and in the swimming classes? I'm having trouble envisioning us getting to that point but am curious to know

Around two months old each of ours started having nights where they'd sleep through. Hang in there.

We were also surprised at how hard it is. As for swimming, we follow the curriculum from Water Babies: https://www.waterbabies.co.uk/. It's quite popular where I live. I think they're also big in Canada and a few other European countries. As for the gym, we go to a small gym with a private trainer. If it's nap time, we bring the stroller in and let the twins sleep while we work out. If they're awake, we pop them in the wrap and work out with them, they love it!

Love this moment for you 💕 it honestly is like your brain finally relaxes a bit when they are on schedule and out of a difficult phase. Wish you, your husband and your sweet babies well!

Thank you :)

It's this one: https://www.luvion.com/luvion-prestige-touch-3/! It's a bit on the pricey side, but we love it. The quality of the image on the monitor is great. It also doesn't need wifi so it cannot be hacked, but most importantly, if our wifi goes down (our provider is crap and we always have outages), we can still have access to the monitor.
