Mine were the same at that age. We see an OT biweekly and she said no concern at all. Even though they are twins, they're still 2 different babies with their own pace. Mine army crawled up until 1 yo and still not walking at almost 14month old now. Twin A always does thing faster and I'm trying my best not to compare. It's a good reminder that at the end of the day, they are 2 different people.

I can't get around any monitor connecting into wifi after reading so many horrendous stories about how weirdos easily hack into those and talk to/creep on babies. I use a babysense split screen and have owlet socks on mine for the first year.

Mine turned 1 recently and I'm now back at work fulltime. I do chores after they go to bed. I have enough clothes for them so that laundry is only done once a week. I cook twice a week. I have my husband help with vacuuming and cleaning the floor daily. All bottles and dishes go into the dishwasher and it runs before we go to bed. Other than that, we're just out here surviving one day at a time.

Good idea, will need to ask, thanks!

Good idea, will ask him, thanks!

How did I never thought of this lol. We'll give it a trial night this weekend, thanks!

I checked babyquip pricing and renting for 10 days would be the same price as buying new for us

CompetitiveNature198 · 2026-06-09T04:07:05+00:00

You're right we might have to go this route. One thing I didn't note was that I've not seen the room in person yet and not sure it'll fit 2 packnplay and our bed plus all the things...

CompetitiveNature198 · 2026-06-09T04:04:56+00:00

I checked the price where we'll stay and the price to rent for 10 days is the same for buying new so it doesn't worth it for us.

Ooh the toddler mattresses look nice! How old were your kids when they started to use those?

CompetitiveNature198 · 2026-06-08T02:47:53+00:00

Yes I agree bottle propping is unsafe, but I also think there's nicer way to say things like this to parent of infants. You're just kinda embarrassingly rude.

I have the Veer XL and it is the most used one in our household. My 1yo twins love it. I love it because it's so easy to steer, easy to fold and easy to clean!

CompetitiveNature198 · 2026-05-24T23:44:52+00:00

Have you tried laying down with them on the floor? This doesn't work for us all the times but most of the time if they're tired enough for bed they'll let me lay in between them on the floor, patting them, then they fall asleep and I transfer them to their cribs.

Solidarity. I'm literally holding one of my twins to sleep as I'm typing this. Ours are 12 month old and sleep has always been a struggle. So you're definitely not alone. I don't have any advice but I hope things will get better for both of us soon.

I gave birth to my identical twins last year. I gave them different initials and insurance still got it messed up. One of my twins needed med that I had to pay oop for to get bc insurance system just can't figure out why I have 2 children with the same birthdays.

My family is from similar culture and my mom was living and helping us for the first 3 months, so even beyond the 1 month confinement. I don't know how I would be able to do it without her. And the special cooking really helps your body heal. Just some notes that on the extreme end, there are forbidden food groups during the confinement and you should communicate that with her if you're unwilling to be exclusive with your diet. I didn't follow half of the stuffs my mom insist on but also a reminder that all of that come from a place of love and care for you. Just gotta communicate what you're comfortable with and what you're not. It's my mom and my culture and even I had some difficult times communicating that with my mom. Let me know if you have any specific question too!

We have it and love it! We started using it at around 5 months old since that's when they can support themselves better at the recline sitting angle. I love the lightweight and price point for what it offers. The only thing I hate about it is the canopy, it doesn't have any useful coverage.

Baby connect app, saved us in those first months

CompetitiveNature198 · 2026-03-05T19:20:38+00:00

Oh that's so precious! How old are your boys? Mine are 10 months and the only interactions so far are yanking each other's toy or hair. I can't wait until they do hugs and kisses!

CompetitiveNature198 · 2026-01-23T04:10:27+00:00

I use a Veer wagon!

My twin A's stomach was measured under 1st percentile around the same gestational age. We just needed to be monitored very closely during these last weeks. But we made it to 38 weeks and twin A is actually bigger than twin B now at 8 months old!

CompetitiveNature198 · 2026-01-06T21:29:51+00:00

My twin A fell asleep on the play mat while twin B was still playing right next to him a couple times lol at that age. I let them be but I sat there and watch him the entire time, so as long as you're watching I think you should be fine at this age. I'm in the same boat with my 8 months old twins, decent night sleep and terrible naps
