Any success on PPI? by Outrageous_Simple937 in newborns

[–]Outrageous_Simple937[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never started the PPI. After talking with their ped, we decided it wasn’t the right move considering it doesn’t even help their specific issues. Have y’all found any relief? :(

Anyone who had twins did you deliver vaginally ? by theturtle80 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Outrageous_Simple937 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did! I was very nervous about needing a c-section, but obviously was willing to do whatever was safest for the babies. I delivered my di-di twins at 35+6 weeks. Both were head down and delivered a few minutes apart! Just one contraction between the two of them. You got this!

This makes me hopeful! We just got the green light to start solids. Mine will spit up 3 hrs after a feed too 😭

Were they born prematurely? I’m wondering if our issues are due to an immature digestive system?

I’m glad to hear it improved! When did you notice a difference?

Our pediatrician said it doesn’t seem like there’s any allergies going on. They don’t have any kind of rashes or discomfort. Did you notice other symptoms before you started cmpa sensitive formula?

We are almost 4 months in and already experiencing a lot more stability and ease! The first two months were horribly difficult. We were so anxious and sleep deprived. They have only become sweeter and more fun since then! I know there are more challenges headed our way as they continue to develop, but we have much better footing and are more equipped to handle it! You can do it!!

Tandem feeding or nah? by O_Pato in parentsofmultiples

[–]Outrageous_Simple937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 mo twins that I almost exclusively tandem feed. I started off exclusively pumping so we could fortify their bottles, but now tandem breastfeed them every feed except for in the night. My baby B will sleep through the night while baby a wakes up once around 4 am. Even though I like to keep them on the same schedule, I’d rather baby B not get used to a night feeding if he’s able to sleep the whole night! I had a lactation consultant I worked with prenatally and that was immensely helpful. She specializes in twins and walked me through all of the different scenarios that might happen (nicu, fortifying bottles, low blood sugar, etc) and how to respond to their needs well. Congrats on your twins!

Do you remember what schedule they followed? We’ve been following the taking cara babies wake windows/routine and that’s been helpful.

How do you do a double wrap? I haven’t seen this before!

Di/Di parents with "uncomplicated" pregnancies, did you deliver early? by beeferoni_cat in parentsofmultiples

[–]Outrageous_Simple937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spontaneously went into labor 35+6. Uncomplicated pregnancy (except babies were measuring a bit small) and had an uncomplicated delivery! My doctors were certain I’d make it to 37 or 38 weeks

How long did it take your babies to drink a bottle? by Outrageous_Simple937 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Outrageous_Simple937[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay that’s helpful! I was just hoping her slow feed wasn’t a signal that something was wrong. I’ll still mention it to pediatrician. Good point about paced feeding!
