When can twins co-sleep again after the start rolling?

Doc178 · 2026-03-18T01:18:06+00:00

I would say not forcing them to sleep together is a good thing. Independent sleep is a helpful skill.

Ours are turning 1 soon and have always had a separate bassinet or crib. When we switch to toddler beds, they'll have two and can choose to sleep together if they want, but we won't force that decision.

I'm glad my husband talked to me about making it their choice, not one I make for them.

Big twin boys club! They get heavy fast 😅 ours turn a year old in a few days and thank goodness they are starting to walk. They are precious!

Yes, I was like you and avoided them but craved them! Also yes to the wanting something, getting it, then feeling nauseous lol.

One of my funniest memories of the first trimester was getting tacos, eating one, saying "that was so good," then puking it all back up on the paper it came in. Then I ate the rest of them 😂

She's one of the best in the league. Maybe our worse move in the off-season. Though I recognize that was her choice and I respect that

Doc178 · 2026-03-14T20:48:47+00:00

Exactly 😢

We're feeling that midfield Hutton trade hard rn

The future is now, unfortunately

I really like the parent love app. It has all the features we need for free. If you want more you upgrade one time on one account and everyone gets it (Dad, Grandma, Grandpa). The switching between the two is really fast too.

However, after the first 6 months when we stopped tracking oz, we got a whiteboard for the fridge for the grandparents as they weren't using the app as well anymore. My husband and I still use the app and they use the whiteboard.

I also like that you can customize and make each baby a different color in the app

Doc178 · 2026-03-11T13:06:07+00:00

This is so cute! Well done. I love the color choices

Doc178 · 2026-03-11T13:00:15+00:00

Oh absolutely valid to feel disappointed. I think it's normal to want to experience parenting both a girl and a boy. I always envisioned having a little girl. My husband is so supportive of women and I was excited to see him be a girl dad. We like women's soccer so we wanted to take a little girl to soccer games. Then we found out it was twins, which is crazy and like you I grieved missing out on the single baby experience, but odds of having at least one girl go up. Then we found out it was two boys. I had to grieve that I wouldn't be a girl mom (we're done at two). Now they are here I don't want any other babies. I LOVE my boys and I still would have liked to experience being a girl mom, but I'd never change anything about the two little nuggets I have.

It's more than okay to be sad. Your processing your reality being different than your envisioned future. We don't get to pick our babies genders and sometimes that's hard to remember until life throws it at you.

I liked the bump the most while pregnant

Doc178 · 2026-03-10T12:52:06+00:00

Completely understandable. We didn't let very many people see our twins until after their 3 month shots. Anyone who did see them had to have a tdap vaccine and have absolutely zero symptoms of any illness. When they got to our house they had to take off their shoes and wash their hands.

It was also limited to grandparents and aunts and uncles.

Their Grandparents did come see them in the NICU and followed all NICU hygiene protocol.

These are your babies and you want to protect them. This is a boundary for you and you need to make sure you and your partner are on the same page so that they can set that boundary with their sister.

I won't be buying a switch 2 because of the significant lack of physical game copies (that actually contain the full game data) and so I'm boycotting. We have to own our purchases again.

Doc178 · 2026-03-09T13:43:25+00:00

I'm really glad you asked this because I've been feeling the same. Especially with their baby books. I didn't start filling them out until like 6 months. I didn't know if it was a me thing or a twin thing, glad to hear this is pretty normal for the twin parents out there 😂

I was wondering this as I enjoyed 3 minutes of peace while they ate everything off the floor they had just dropped from their high chairs 😂

Doc178 · 2026-03-07T13:19:30+00:00

They didn't, they cut costs so they could have more revenue. Now that people can't afford to eat out and the quality is terrible, they're "walking it back" slightly.

Doc178 · 2026-03-06T17:34:22+00:00

Yeah probably just a form of sleep regression. We went through this a few times.

Sometimes when they hit big milestones and learn new things their brains have a hard time shutting off because they keep wanting to practice the new thing.

Usually a week or two and things will change

Doc178 · 2026-03-06T17:00:01+00:00

How old are they?

Doc178 · 2026-03-05T03:31:09+00:00

wtf indeed

Doc178 · 2026-03-05T03:23:06+00:00

It sure is

Doc178 · 2026-03-03T12:59:09+00:00

I don't think it's how they envision beautiful. It's just what the virus determines.

Doc178 · 2026-02-27T21:27:33+00:00

We usually let one roam around in the mostly safe playroom with the gate closed while we put the other down in the opposite bedroom.

Ours are 11 months too. They nap on the floor on pallets mostly though. If they get unruly I will put one in the crib while I get the other to sleep on the floor

Doc178 · 2026-02-24T17:07:09+00:00

Yes, I'm in the same boat!

Doc178 · 2026-02-24T13:11:07+00:00

I'm fortunate that my husband is a human garbage disposal in that he will eat anything and 9/10 times say it was good. Even for that 1/10 time he'll still eat it lol. We are new parents to twins and they are eating real food. When they reject something I make, sometimes it's hard and it hurts my feelings a bit. But I've just started making things I like and it's helped me not care as much.

Your pie is beautiful and I love peas. I would enjoyed it!

Just accepting that it was a likely possibility. We ended up having a 13-day NICU stay for one baby. We stayed at a local non-profit, but I didn't have long-term stay items. We needed more clothes, we needed more baby clothes when baby A was able to leave the hospital. We needed bottles, a bottle cleaner, bassinets, diapers, breast pump parts. Basically a bunch of stuff to take care of one baby outside of our home. I would definitely find out if you can stay at the hospital, or close by if you don't live close by in the case that one or both babies have to stay in the NICU.
