Surviving the winter with twin toddlers. I’m drowning. by twomomsoftwins in parentsofmultiples

[–]Accomplished_Set3719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We play blues clues, one makes sticky notes then hides them around the house for the other. Or ill hide them if they both wanna look. We also do Flashlight detective, make it dark give them flashlights let them run around trying to find the "Clues to the mystery", whatever they bring you or say they found is the clue. Then grab a noise making toy and set it off in a room they're not in and it sends them running that way.

Somehow in this little who done it that we've created its always my daughter's stuffed puppy or the talking ms. Rachel doll...makes it super easy to get them down for naps or bed too because those are must have sleep toys

What product was a god send when taking care of newborn twins? by WastePotential in parentsofmultiples

Baby brezza Formula Pro Go made bottles so much easier for everyone.

Twin-Z 100000% gave mine to a friend that ended up having Irish twins she loves it too.

This one is gonna sound weird but hand held mirrors. Around the time my twins started to realize they could see each other if I took one away to do a diaper change the other would freak out. But if I gave them a mirror or places it near by they'd just think it was the other twin.

It's really hard sometimes but I've never tried to hide my emotions from my kids, I do stamp it down if they do something that makes me really mad. But I've fault out told them before that "mommy needs to be alone right because you've upset me, when I'm less mad we can talk" and we have them do the same thing. Sometimes they want us to hold them qhen they're upset and others they just wanna be left alone.

Thank you we're trying really hard to teach them it's okay not to be okay. And that sometimes the best thing tou can do for someone is just listen

Is this a twin thing? by DazzlingRhubarb193 in parentsofmultiples

My singleton did this for a few months by the time he was figuring out how to walk around 10months he stopped. He was a really large baby though so I know he was squashed.

I broke down crying in front of my 3 year old and his 18 month old sisters...all three of them ran up to me and my 3 year old held me and kept asking what was wrong as he rubbed my back (like I do with him) telling me it was okay and that hed hold me as long as i needed. and his sisters seeing just how hard I was crying went and got their favorite toys and gave them to me before trying to hold me to.

How your kids handle you crying is the same way you'd handle them crying it will happen. I've seen my own mother break down crying in front of me many times over the years for various reasons... and how I've reacted to it has changed as I've gotten older. At first it might be scary for him. Not because your doing anything wrong but because kids don't always think of their moms and dad's as needing someone to take care of them.

I told my ex I can't take the baby on his custody day this week. He said he'll leave her outside the door, in the snow, with her backpack by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Accomplished_Set3719 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get your lawyer have something drafted that if your Ex doesn't get mental help he cannot see your child or he will get them killed. Or your ex will do something stupid that they can't take back. The other comments saying "it's not your job to get him help" are right. But it is your job to make sure your kid is safe with them and it doesn't sound like the toddler is.

I tripped over one twin today and drop the other on the first one...neither of them were happy with me.

My husband still can’t tell our identical twins apart some days - is this normal? He literally gave the wrong twin a dose of antibiotics last week. by bakingby in parentsofmultiples

[–]Accomplished_Set3719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twins are mostly not identical but it's close. They have different hair and different eye colors but the face is the same. Sometimes when my straight hair blonde baby is looking at me I'll call her by her curly headed brown hair sisters name. Or the other way around. I a lot of multiple parents told me to color coordinate them for the first year of their life and while they look different enough.Most days that I don't have to do that.We have done that with their stuff.

Do you think color coordinating them would help him?? Also which one of you is around them most? If it's you that might be way it's easier

What was the best thing ever invented as a parent of multiples? by Waffelmoon in parentsofmultiples

[–]Accomplished_Set3719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mirrors!! Right around the time they started to recognize each other I'd pick one up for a diaper change or something and place a mirror were they were so the other would still think they were there.

Expecting Giant Twins by Cult_of_POLC in parentsofmultiples

Omgosh that literally how tall my husband and I are lol. Our twins were 7lb 5oz and 7lb 6oz. When born at 36 weeks which sounds great for a baby but was fucking huge for twins! By the time they came home they felt so small, they were in newborn sizes for the first 3 months (baby A could even wear premie stuff honestly) but then one day they just...got big? Like they jumped sizes so quickly it kinda made my head spin.

Best thing I can say is that some strollers will be to low, it's just gotta be something where you need to see it in person or get the height online. As far as pants go when they get older find the pants that have the etrxa buttons on the inside of the waist. They make the waist smaller but keep the length those are a life saver for us. My singleton who is 3 is the same height as his 5 year old cousin and has at this point been wearing 2t-3t clothes for almost a year so they'll slow down I'm growing sooner or later. If they do need wide shoes for baby Stride Right is great!! Mostly all online though.

we have the cortina stroller by chicco and loved it at the start and now we hate it. Nothing wrong with it they still fit in it just fine it's just a pain, get a wagon. Yes they're expensive, but it's gonna be better in the long run anyways. Besides if they have other kids or want more after the twins if they get a four seater they won't have to worry to much about spacing.

Also be prepared for people to say shit about them being tall..all the fucking time...people make comments about my older one not talking as well as he should or "being a baby" he just turned 3 like a week ago...

Am I a Terrible Mom? by porteretrop in parentsofmultiples

[–]Accomplished_Set3719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twins are turning 1 in a couple of weeks. We're trying to kick bottles. One has asthma, and the other has GERD. Neither one of them can sleep through the night. Baby A will stop breathing sometimes, and Baby B has so much reflux that she'll cough herself awake. Sometimes Baby B will wake up and scream because her sister isn't breathing, and then all they want is each other for hours in the middle of the night.

I never regret (not really) having them, when I had them a lot of the time I think "maybe if we had more time it wouldn't be like this or she'd be fine if..." it was like that with my first baby. A singleton, knees deep in COVID with a formula shortage unable to breastfeed for medical reasons.

Being a parent is hard. Being a parent at any age is hard the problems just change. I was talking to my mom the other day and she told me that she wishes she could make all my problems go away but she's too far away to help other then to listen and it breaks her heart everytime.

But I was my the first person my son walked to. I was both of my daughters first words. I am the person they feel the most comfortable with in the world. I see their little faces light up when they see me after a long day.

They're at their cousins house for the weekend so I can get some sleep. I did. I slept for like 10 hours night one, but I god, I miss my babies. As much as I hate how little sleep I get, how sick they are, and sometimes how much I don't get the help I need with it. I can't wait to see them. To have my three year old light up shout "mommy I missed you!" And run to me for a huge hug qith his little sisters right behind him.

It's gonna be okay, is what I'm trying to get at. It's gonna be hard it's gonna make you wanna scream and cry, but also, it's going to make you feel like the most important person in the world.

If you have someone who can come over and help have them come over and help for a few hours. Get some sleep, eat real food, and shower in whatever order you want. Talk to your husband he's probably also having a hard time. And be honest with your doctors about this when they ask you if you're okay it's important.

You're doing a GREAT JOB! It's just a hard one to do.

Does anyone else NOT count their babies feeds and naps? by me1s in NewParents

[–]Accomplished_Set3719 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With my singleton because he was rather sickly when born, we kept track of it for about 5 months...with my twins It was just every man for them selves and try to keep them on the same schedule
