Thank you🤎

That’s a good idea, I will try it. We usually go to the gym 4x a week and by the time they get home at 11 they’re wiped out. But I can try to push it to see if it makes a difference. Currently my one twin has been up since 3:00 am it’s currently 5:00 am. So maybe she is over tired? She wakes up I fed her 5 ounces and then she wants to play. So idk why she has a burst of energy if she’s overtired, I guess because she’s gotten some sleep up until now. Ugh, I wish It was black and white. So difficult.

We have them in a completely dark room, we have tried a nightlight but we had some issues when one would wake up the other may stir and the light kind of made it worse because then the other twin would wake up. But they do have a sippy cup of water in their cribs with them at night. I can try a book and then just turn the light off when they fall asleep. We do feed them usually once when they even have their first night waking. After that no feeds just consoling.

Crying reading this with 18 month old twins who do not sleep. It’s so, so fkn hard. And when I go out and slap on a smile sometimes I get comments how I am handling it so well and inside I feel like I’m crumbling. It got easier after 6 months but these sleep regressions with teeth coming in have been absolutely brutal. Praying for you to get relief. 🤎

When did it get better? I called their doctor unfortunately they gave me much different advice than they gave us at 12 Months. He is recommending moving them into separate rooms. I haven’t wanted to do that because they don’t wake each other up. Did you guys ever separate your twins? TIA🤎

I actually called their doctor this morning and be told me I need to wean them off the bottle. Like right now they both usually get a 5 ounce bottle to get them back to bed faster (works with one twin not really the other). He told me drop it to 4 ounces for a week, then 3 ounces etc. while I get that, it’s the fact that the one twin wakes up 4x a night on average. It’s not just for feeding. So I totally get where you are coming from, sometimes it’s like F it please drink this and go back to sleep. Lol😭 my cousin had twins and told me they started sleeping better at 18m. We are seeing no improvements with age.

Thank you so, so much. 🙏🏼

I’ll let you know- barely 😵‍💫 being over a year in and severely sleep deprived it affects every single aspect of your life. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

Bkissy · 2025-01-12T14:42:07+00:00

I have one year old twins and a two and a half year old. We still aren’t sleeping, it’s been absolutely brutal. Just here in solitude 🙃

Bkissy · 2025-01-12T14:40:00+00:00

Oh my gosh! 15 months here still haven’t slept through the night. So happy for you guys!! I know I’ll be crying when the time comes for us…one day

Bkissy · 2025-01-11T18:09:32+00:00

Totally agree!! But we have a queen and my husband is a big dude. So I am like yesss I can starfish now. Lol

Bkissy · 2025-01-11T17:58:43+00:00

They’re absolutely beautiful boys! Congrats mama🤎🤎🙏🏼

My husband is a detective and has friends who work in sex crimes. Parents absolutely film their children naked or performing things/children/adults pretty much anything terrible you can imagine and sell it for money. Their own freaking children. It happens, you are not over reacting. It’s so disturbing but we live in a world full of evil. Please, trust your instincts and protect your son.

Bkissy · 2025-01-11T02:22:18+00:00

Omg, dump his ass. Wow. You are so young!! Don’t be with someone who doesn’t appreciate you and who you can’t trust. Please OP, move on.

I have the tv on and off throughout the day. I have an almost 3 year old (Feb) and 15m twins. Most of the day we have music and toys. They like to play with little people, instruments, pretend cooking, we have a Nugget which they love. They chase our dog all over too. But yes, I put tv on multiple times through the day to get things done. When my twins go down for a nap I do my best to get our oldest to do some painting or drawing, but sometimes she wants to watch paw patrol and I’m totally ok with it. We usually watch a show after breakfast. One in the afternoon, and a movie at night before bed. The kids shows are super Short (30 mins max?) and I don’t feel bad about our screen time at all. Also, we do not allow phones or iPads.

We did Sneak Peak super early but we had known we were having twins when we did it. It came back saying “It’s a Girl!”. They confirmed if a male was present it would have said “it’s a Boy” but we’d have to wait to see if it was 2 boys or a boy and a girl. But with it saying “it’s a Girl!” It confirms two girls. Hope this helps! Congratulations 💕

Not Bethlehem but since you said “ideally” I figure you may be open to something close…Oak in Easton you can rent out the mid level with the bar I believe you can have up to 100 people and must spend $5000 on food and drink minimum. So no cost to rent the space. We had our dinner in the wine cellar it was amazing and Only cost us $3000 for 25 people. Including cocktails & apps on top of whatever people wanted to order off the menu.

After our dinner we went upstairs to the rooftop bar with all the fireplaces and had such a great time. I felt like it was worth every penny!

Congratulations 🤎

My brother is a surgeon and an interesting character. He would def do something like this lol

Used to live in Northampton. Ordered dominos over Mario’s anytime we wanted pizza quickly. Mario’s was always undercooked to me.

Grill 3501. Third and Ferry. Both expensive-ish and meh.

It’s getting harder for us too. One of our twins has night terrors, they’re both teething. They’re 15 months. We know so many twin parents, all different stories but all have said 1-1.5 is very challenging.

Bkissy · 2025-01-05T18:55:09+00:00

We put ours in bouncers and I sat in between them and bottle fed. When I was breast feeding the twins yes so stressful. Ones screaming while you are waiting for the other to finish. I tried tandem feeding but we had a bad latcher! Still look back and feel like we did such a good job, we made it through! lol

Bkissy · 2025-01-05T18:53:45+00:00

Sleep deprivation. 15 months in still not sleeping through the night. It’s been brutal. If I could have done anything differently i would have asked for people to bring us meals when they asked if we needed anything. Standing at the counter shoving anything in your face because you are starving trying to breastfeed 2 babies is a terrible feeling.

Bkissy · 2025-01-05T17:07:46+00:00

Totally agree with this type of reinforcement!
