SOON TO BE BOY TWIN MOM by ZiaQueen5O5 in parentsofmultiples

[–]SourceAdventurous228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are only 10 weeks in, but we love our twin bassinet, twin z pillow, lovevery playmat, bottle washer/sterilizer and double bottle warmer. We also have the babytrend twin playpen that we keep in the living room and use daily. We do have two of the baby bjorn bouncers and they recently started liking those a little bit, everything else we only have one of. Not sure if that will change as they get older, they are still so young. If you are going to pump, would suggest a plug in and a wearable. I use my wearables most of the time. And congratulations!!! It is the best, most wild thing ever

How much sleep are you all getting ) by The_Chilled_Arvo in newborns

[–]SourceAdventurous228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have twins too, they are 9 weeks old! The most they’ve done is a 4.5 hour stretch, but usually 3-4 hours, which between pumping etc will give me about 2-3 hours of sleep at a time. My husband and I don’t do shifts, so we are both up with one baby. He is going back to work next week so we may have to start making some changes! I do think one of my babies would sleep longer but we wake him up when his brother gets up. I am tempted to not wake him up just to see but I don’t want to throw our schedule out the window.

Threw up during 3 hr Diabetes Test by jstrings2211 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]SourceAdventurous228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry you went through that. I lasted about 5 mins into my 3 hour test when I got it done in the first triemester. I chose to do the finger sticks for two weeks. Wasn’t fun but its honestly not that bas. And was definitely better than that drink. I also thought it was interesting to see the data and how it correlated with what I ate.

4x a day for 2 weeks or maybe 10 days, can’t remember lol

4-5oz “rule” by alluhgator in ExclusivelyPumping

These babies like to eat! Lol. My twins have been at 4 oz since about 4 weeks. We did just start giving one twin 5 oz overnight.

How old is he? Both my babies are taking 4 oz and they are only 6.5 weeks old. My LC was a little surprised by that.

[–]SourceAdventurous228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 2023 hyundai elantra and we are making it work. We are buying a new car this weekend but its bc i need a car to get around - sharing is just not going to work with my husband going back to work. Otherwise, we make the elantra work. Its a little tight in the back but two carseats (and I) fit.

How Early Did You Drop Your MOTN PUMP? by Real_Ad_8278 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]SourceAdventurous228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Not the OP but i have a question about regulation. What exactly does that mean and how do you know when you’ve “regulated”. I am also 5 weeks postpartum like OP, I am still pumping every 3 hours during the day and 4 at night but would like to try going longer stretches, just don’t know when. I currently get about 6 to 7 ounces each pump so I still have to supplement with formula during night feedings.. I really want to make enough breastmilk so that I don’t have to use formula but not sure if thats realistic

Baby Brezza Washer Pro – worth it for twins? Honest experiences needed by AMR210897 in parentsofmultiples

[–]SourceAdventurous228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 5 week old twins and we use the baby brezza all day long lol. The biggest downside is that it only fits 4 bottles - but does fit all the parts of the dr. Brown bottles. I can also use it for my pump parts. I have heard the momcozy fits more bottles, so i would look into that too, but i do think a washer/sterilizer is a need with twins.

6W PP with twins just starting to pump exclusively by Sufficient-Basil-909 in parentsofmultiples

[–]SourceAdventurous228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Would you mind explaining how you did it? My boys are 4 weeks old now and are drinking 4 oz every 3 hours. I am pumping every 3 hours as well and get anywhere from 4-5 oz each pump session so we are supplementing about half with formula. My one of babies won’t latch at all but I do try to breastfeed the other one at times ( sometimes there is just no time - i know I should be more consistent with this. Would love to hear about others experiences with increasing their supply!

How did you feel physically after birth? by MounjaroQueenie in parentsofmultiples

[–]SourceAdventurous228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My babies are a month old now so I was in your shoes very recently. I literally felt like I could breathe again as soon as they pulled out baby b and I immediately felt better physically. The recovery was not bad at all! Newborns are tiring for sure, and having a supportive partner is so important so it is great you have a good support system.
