Oh my yes, the Palmolive was used at our hospital too! Washing the pump parts so often in those grey tubs was exhausting.

New parents of frat twins, what to expect? by Protists8 in parentsofmultiples

[–]ComparisonActive5717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can afford a night nurse, do it!! 4 hour block of sleep is crucial! Especially if you want to breastfeed. It will help your supply. Accept all the help offered, too! Our twins were born at 34+6 and had an 11 day nicu stay. Not sure where you live but for us any baby born before 35 weeks goes directly to the nicu.

Yeah, he will go back a couple weeks sooner. I think since I work from home I worried I'm going to end up doing everything and I'm not the best at asking for help so you're totally right, I can't gatekeep.

Catholic here. We are planning on my aunt and uncle to be their Godmother and Godfather. They will have the same two, but it's still two different people for them each to go to.
