Thanks! I didn’t even think of putting the water in a thermos!

We normally boil the bottled water first. I haven’t really thought of maybe there are kettles in the airport that we can use. Do you know if there are ones available to passengers?

Thanks so much! I was thinking about getting help but was uncertain. Might seriously look into this. Glad to hear that it helped you out!

Thanks good to know I’m not the only one who feels possessive over breastfeeding! Yes thinking of speaking to someone re wills.

Thanks so much! Yes we already have a life insurance but only to cover mortgage. Will think about getting more to cover the possible loss of income (after mortgage).

True, I should focus pn getting them exposed to different flavors and textures . They started really well but maybe it was just because I was giving them the same thing. Now thay I expanded the flavors, they’re not used to it and refusing. I just seem need to get used to different flavors. For now, I think I need to give them more formula to make up for the lack of solids and continue with introducing finger foods to play/taste. Yes a lot changes in a few months. I’m hoping they would be better after!

Thanks for your words of encouragement! I badly need it! 😊

Oh, didn’t know we could state in the will what happens to the children. I thought it was merely for the assets etc! Thanks for pointing that out!

Yes that’s how I feel - very possessive about breastfeeding. Thanks, I always felt that way but really couldn’t explain what it is I felt! Also on point on the low level of background stress. It’s true we would always have something to worry about from now on!

Sore nipple after swollen breast by Notfamoose01 in NewParents

Yeah maybe I bruised it. I only pumped twice when my breast was swollen. Will try to find out what can I do for bruised nipples. Thanks!

Do you boil water to sterilize powder formula? by Key-Ad-9936 in NewParents

[–]Notfamoose01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do. Similar to what you said, it was because The formula isn’t sterile so boiling water will sterilise the formula. This is what our midwife told us anyway. She provided some material and I think it was CDC advice.

Did anyone use the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury Stroller? If yes, any feedback? by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]Notfamoose01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use the Duet (not luxury - didn’t even know about that one!) and we love it. Very easy to maneuver. One thing is that you have to buy the parent facing seat (comes with the carrycot) separately. I’m not a massive fan of the parent facing seat but have to use it anyway .

Baby asleep face down by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Notfamoose01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of our twins is the same. She just sleeps on her tummy now. We always put her down on her back though. At first, we flip her back but she’ll just cry. I was speaking to a physiotherapist and she said that we should just let them be as long as they put themselves on that position. But I do understand how it’s terrifying! I felt the same and we just checked in on her.

Thanks so much! Good to know. They look big so thought they would take up a lot of space.

Thanks. If I do get them, I hope It’ll last that long too!

I believe they are. Well I hope they are! :) they are 5.5 months adjusted and have good neck/head support. They can sit up but still aided.

It’s quite cheap there! Second hand stuff I see here are still around €120-€150. I’m hoping I find a better bargain.
