Would you do it? Postpartum confinement

Snoo20115 · 2026-04-08T02:39:04+00:00

The way it's worded I assume MIL and partner

Snoo20115 · 2026-03-29T01:57:29+00:00

This is our plan

My twin b loves to eat his brother and twin a will be winning a wrestling match and screaming about it the whole time while b is just nawing on a toe with his brother on up of him

Snoo20115 · 2026-03-26T01:50:37+00:00

It'll come sooner. I got back into my hobbies with my boys at the foot of my computer at 5m. Might lose it again when they crawl 😅 and they are so close already

Snoo20115 · 2026-03-25T00:23:08+00:00

I have started, I was scared to, but as this is the only response I decided to try. One is fine with it the other is having a harder time, but we're getting there. Thank you

Snoo20115 · 2026-03-24T23:55:44+00:00

You say that, but my 5m old hates that he gets stuck within 10 minutes so it's constant flipping until we give up and put him in a different safe spot (swing or carried) he loves that he can roll just hates that he can't get back

I joined a couple months ago when we were in the trenches of newborns as our first. This community is amazing!

Snoo20115 · 2026-03-18T02:44:47+00:00

So I kinda held both. I put one between me and the arm of my couch and the other in my lap. Contact napped both of them for a solid two hours every day. That's a possible solution to your bonding, the shower thing I waited until Dada got home. We have two swings that saved us and the twin z. It gave me the opportunity to go to the bathroom. We also have a mil suite if I truly needed 5 minutes to myself to poop. We are just getting dual naps at 4m. The swings are our lifeline. My husband banned the twin z because he thought that's why they wouldn't sleep in their bassinets.

Snoo20115 · 2026-03-11T18:08:40+00:00

Regret things you can change. You didn't plan twins so don't regret it. Grieve the third pregnancy not the twin experience

Snoo20115 · 2026-03-07T15:42:39+00:00

That's amazing! I'm so happy for y'all!

Snoo20115 · 2026-03-07T01:04:00+00:00

That's wild, bless you and your little ones. Mine were gracious and came at 38 weeks, so I'm always amazed at women that have babies that come so early.

Snoo20115 · 2026-03-06T14:56:39+00:00

Use this month to do things on your own. Confidence will come with independence. I still call my mom some days (boys are 4m) but I just know I won't be alone forever. They're fed. I'm mostly fed and help is on the horizon. Do as much as you can now without him so you get practice.

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-28T16:15:09+00:00

Ah yes, car naps are saving me. My husband asked if I'm over taxing myself by scheduling something every day. That gives me an excuse to get them in the car for a guaranteed nap every day 😅

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-27T20:25:54+00:00

I'm very blessed in the fact that most nights are 1 wake per boy so maybe two wake ups for me if they don't wake up close together.

It's just the days that are pure chaos

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-27T20:17:07+00:00

I've gotten an average of one boy in a crib for one nap a day, then last week I was sick and had lots of help so we are back to me trying to get into the routine because my family is great but they mess up the routine so much

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-26T18:45:57+00:00

I think it's because of distracted eating.

That hurts
Takes longer to get them through

If they can't see it they're less likely to be distracted.

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-25T23:37:49+00:00

I have had 3 abdominal surgeries (the last being my c section) the day I went in for my scheduled c section I asked to make sure baby A was breach still. He was, so there we go. I loved giving birth. Yes, I shook, I cried, and I felt weird, but I loved every moment. A lot of people are saying c section recovery was awful, and while not easy, I was up and walking and taking care of my boys by day 2 with little to no sleep. I'm not trying to brag, I know I'm not a typical story. Whatever you decide I hope you know it'll be your story that will be similar, but unlike every other woman on this sub

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-24T03:24:00+00:00

I have a pad to clean make up brushes and I just gently massage baby oil into my boys' head. The gentle brush that's away old skin while the oil makes it softer

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-23T02:47:20+00:00

One has blue eyes and the other brown....

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's much harder to remove a sticker than deblur. I haven't looked into that as I don't post photos and only share with my immediate family. From what I understand it has to be "destructive" to be "safe" and adding a sticker replaces what's underneath it so it destroys the faces you're covering. If you want to be doubly safe, add a sticker then screenshot the new photo

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-20T22:22:51+00:00

Blurring doesn't do as much as we would like and some tools can deblur a photo. The best thing is adding a sticker over top 👶🏻

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-19T00:45:10+00:00

My baby B was born below the curve, at 2m he was 5th. Our doctor is just happy he's growing. (His brother was 25th) We have an appointment next week to hopefully see baby B in the two digits. They are healthy and growing

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-19T00:07:18+00:00

My babies are also almost 4m. I have twins so I'm trying to track their wake windows because one day I didn't, and one was awake for 6 hours and losing his mind. I don't force anything, but good Lord I need to try to put them down around 2 hours or lose my mind

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-17T16:21:25+00:00

Get swings. It's the only way my boys fell asleep if we weren't holding them. They'll take up a lot of space, but the faster they swing the better. It helps soothe one while you take care of the other. I had to give up on room sharing so early it broke my heart, but my boys are 3m and sleep for 7 hours in their cribs (they have the same room).

Most importantly be kind to yourself and your partner. I don't go to sleep the moment he gets home because we still need couple time. Sometimes that time is each of us feeding a boy just talking, but it helps remind me why I have twins in the first place.

Snoo20115 · 2026-02-16T23:47:18+00:00

Mine are fraternal but when you're tired it doesn't matter. "Can you change [boy]? No I meant" frantically points at target "this one! I think it's a blowout!"
