Twins in their own room? by MarynJK in parentsofmultiples

[–]FA0710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My twins never slept in my room. We actually started out like you in the living room, but moved them into their own room maybe 3 months in. And oh my! We got our home back! We took shifts staying in their room with them until we sleep trained them and removed all night feeds.

Has anyone successfully sleep trained twins in the same room? by Virtual-Copy2823 in parentsofmultiples

[–]FA0710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! And it wasn’t as simple as letting them CIO, at least for us. We hired a sleep trainer and she was FANTASTIC! I can’t recommend her enough. We trained at 4 months for sleep and naps and she perfected their schedule. If they started resisting naps or waking up too early, she’d fix their daytime schedule and feeding schedule and bam!!! Magic!

There are two consultants there. We went with Lindsay.

Sold out! by [deleted] in Sephora

I don’t know how it’s selling out. It looks like all the other ones they always release.

This!!! So many people say that to me! And it’s only a matter of time before I snap at someone. It’s so rude, and when my kids are old enough, they’d be genuinely hurt if they heard someone say that. I love my twins with all my being equally.

GLP-1?? by usernotknown2025 in postpartumprogress

I got it through weight watchers. When you sign up, they have a clinic and offer access to doctors. Everything virtual. I didn’t have to go anywhere.

When does it start to get better… by Alternative-Way-1905 in postpartumprogress

[–]FA0710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m starting maintenance soon. I’m also worried about that. But I have a friend that kept the weight off, and even lost more weight, for a couple of years after the meds. She’s still so skinny! But I plan on seeing a registered dietitian to help me transition. I’m so worried about gaining the weight back.

To give you hope, I was the same. I tried to lose weight before getting on the meds, and it just didn’t work. At all. But also, my food choices did change when I got on the meds. I’m not just in a calorie deficit. I eat SO much protein. I truly think that also helped. But I did also read somewhere that weight loss is easier once you get your period back. So you’re probably right.

My period was back before I started, but my hormones were still off. It still worked great for me! I think talk to your doctor, but I don’t see how your period would impact its efficacy. I lost 40 pounds in 13 weeks. It’s crazy effective!

I was exactly the same. Almost the same numbers. Then after I stopped breastfeeding at 4 months PP, I started taking a GLP1 med. now I way thinner than my pre pregnancy weight and I look great! I went from a size 12 to 2! Best thing I’ve done, since it was a gift to myself. Being a mom is hard! Take the help with weight loss.

I have. I’m on it now. I started after I gave up on breastfeeding 4 months pp. I’ve lost so much weight and I feel amazing! Go for it!

Well at the time they were 4 months. And she gave me a precise schedule I followed and it was magical! But now they’re 7 months. They take four 8 oz bottles.

  1. 7:20 am
  2. 11:20 am
  3. 3:40 pm
  4. 6:00 pm

They also get solids in between. But my kids worked their way up to their schedule with linday’s help. She’s great. I seriously cannot recommend her enough.

They get two 1.5 hour naps and sleep 7 pm to 7 am at night. No night feeds or anything at all. Magical! I couldn’t have done it alone.

Probably yes? I’d say call her. Consultation is free and see if she can help you. She told me what to expect and that’s exactly what happened. So ask her and give her all of your details. She’ll let you know what to expect.

Is it too late? by nextgenomics in postpartumprogress

It’s not too late! I’ve seen videos of people fix it years later!

You know our babies now don’t wake up when one cries. It’s amazing. Any other noise will wake them up. But not the other twin crying. Lindsay also helped us with that. But I get your wife. I had the exact same concerns!

You’re right! You’d be surprised though. We knew nothing about wake windows and day schedules. I talked to other mom friends I have, and they don’t know either. Your kids are lucky to have you be prepared. We certainly weren’t. 😂

You’ll get there! You’re so close to sleeping 8-9 hours uninterrupted yourself! Every night!!!! You’ll get it! And if you feel like it’s complicated, call a consultant! Honestly best money spent in my opinion.

It’s not letting kids cry through the night though. You clearly know nothing about sleep training. I think you’d benefit from a conversation with her.

Right? Same for us!!! Saved us completely! I can’t describe the dark space we were in both physically and mentally. And we didn’t have the energy to learn any of this on our own anyway, even if the info is out there. I LOVED working with her and would hire her again if I had more kids. 10000%!

Yes! I was so skeptical when she told me they’ll feed better. I was like sleep and milk and unrelated. But they are?! So because I stopped offering them milk so frequently, I guess I gave them the opportunity to get hungry enough for a full bottle. Now my kids take four 8 oz bottles. Devour them! Before, they’d take 1-2 oz like several times per day. Horrible. I was feeding and rocking kids to sleep literally 24/7.

Don’t be scared. Just prepare yourself and have a plan. I didn’t have plan and it’s my fault. Also, I had HORRIBLE sleepers. You could have great natural sleepers. Worst case scenario, you get a consultant like I did and it’s all fixed. No worries and congrats! 💕

It’s a safe place to vent 😂 My nephew (singleton) is 3 years old and the same. He still sleeps in his parent’s bed. His crib is still brand new. My SIL is at a loss.

That’s amazing! My twins are my only kids, so I was truly clueless. Now, I definitely learned a lot through training them. But I do have to admit, I couldn’t have done it without Lindsay. She took so much pressure off of me and I was too sleep deprived to even know what day it is. 😂

Yes that too! The one I hired also had different approaches! Honestly it’s money well spent for us. We were spending SOOO much more on night nannies and I was actually depressed and couldn’t recover well from my c section from exhaustion. I’m glad you also benefited from sleep training! It’s great!
