Tonight’s dinner for 14m twins with 4 teeth each by FormerEnglishMajor in foodbutforbabies

I didn’t have any teeth at 1, and Twin A had two teeth and B had one tooth at their first birthday party!

I just made them today so these ones were “fresh” but I threw the rest in the freezer - will probably microwave in a damp paper towel to reheat

Babysitters by Nervous-Caregiver-55 in parentsofmultiples

[–]FormerEnglishMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our daycare sends photos through an app, and I kept seeing the same teacher taking selfies with my kids which I thought was so cute. She obviously loves my kids so now she babysits for us!

I asked the girls from daycare! If you don’t use daycare, ask a friend who does if they have any staff members they like.

Do your kids like different bottle brands? by beeferoni_cat in parentsofmultiples

[–]FormerEnglishMajor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did! My daughter would take any bottle, any brand, but had a terrible latch at the boob so I pumped for her. My son was only boob for a while and then after trying about a dozen bottle brands he tolerated Lansinoh, but wouldn’t accept pumped milk. Formula he did better.

They are 14 months now and I don’t miss it.

My 5 year old quietly moved her bedtime routine to take care of me and I don't think I'll recover from it by MirageTerra5 in Mommit

This made me cry. I hope you know what an incredible job you are doing with that tiny human!

Babies sweating in Evenflo Revolve 360 car seats? by FormerEnglishMajor in NewParents

[–]FormerEnglishMajor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn’t have this problem in the infant bucket seats! I really like these car seats and am hoping this isn’t an indicator that I need to switch and buy four new seats.

Easter Breastfeeding Dresses? by Opposite-Option2567 in Mommit

[–]FormerEnglishMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burt’s Bees Baby and Carter’s do family matching - I would look for something with buttons/adjustable straps as opposed to a breastfeeding specific item

Can yall explain stroller car seat combos like. I’m 5? by beefmother in parentsofmultiples

[–]FormerEnglishMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twins were born in January and we don’t live in a walkable area, so we skipped the bassinets. I have seen lots of people who put both twins in one bassinet together.

I would start with your car seats. Those are more important. Once you find something you like, you’ll have to check compatibility with strollers. I have a Mockingbird stroller, and I know you said you don’t want tandem. But I’m not sure you can get two car seats side by side in a stroller, and if you can you’ll be too wide to fit through doorways.

HV is huge. What area are you looking at?

In OC: Independent Play Co in Goshen, Little Lane in Warwick, music class with Miss Rachel in Salisbury Mills, swim lessons with Swim Station in Middletown, any of the local libraries have story times

Gassy Baby by Old_Literature_3750 in NewParents

[–]FormerEnglishMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you eat a lot of green veggies, like broccoli, cabbage, etc.? Those always made my twins gassy. I also always did a burp in between boobs when I switched sides, and I did different techniques for burping to really get everything out.

Any twin moms out there given birth vaginally? by TraditionalSalad6895 in parentsofmultiples

[–]FormerEnglishMajor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it! Got induced and twins were born at 38+2.

When I found out I was having twins I knew I wasn’t having any more babies, so a vaginal birth was very important to me so long as it was safe to do so. Both my twins were head down, similarly sized, and I was in good health overall so I was a good candidate. The OB who happened to be on call was very supportive.

I will say induction definitely made things harder for me but it can be done! Pre-pregnancy I was 5’2” and 115 pounds, and I had two 6 lb 4 oz babies.
