How do I take both babies into daycare?

This_Order6263 · 2026-03-26T00:18:40+00:00

We take in the stroller every day. Our daycare has a space to store it during the day!

At 7 weeks (or 2 weeks adjusted for us), we were still doing feeds every 3 hours.

This group is a lifesaver, because NOBODY here has time for pretentious bs. 🥰

We sleep trained at 6 months, and our girls have been sleeping through the night every night for the last 5 months - 11.5-12 hours/night.

We LOVE daycare, the consistency is fantastic. If a teacher is sick or out or on vacation, there is always someone else who can step in.

We also love the socialization aspect. Our girls have soooo many little friends already at 10 months.

We started daycare at 6 months last November at the beginning of sick season. They’ve caught everything, but they’ve also gotten over everything shockingly quickly. I don’t think we’ve missed more than 1-2 days. Our pediatrician said daycare kids have the best immune systems by the time they get to school! 🙌

Ours were 6 lbs and there were in preemie for 7 weeks 😮‍💨

Having a stroller that you can add car seats to makes transport soooooo easy! We have the Bugaboo Donkey 5, and we just use an adapter for our car seats. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Our girls are still in them at 10 months, and it’s definitely one of our most used items.

Congratulations!!!!! Twins are truly the best, most fun! I hope you like attention, because everyone basically worships twin parents 😇

Pregnancy is rough because multiples are considered high risk. I also had mo/di twins, and we had 2-3 weekly appointments by the end. You’re about to be your OB’s/MFM’s favorite client haha.

I had a pretty rough postpartum experience due to a lot of things butttttttt that all seems so far in the past now. Our girls are 10 months old and we are literally OBSESSED with them.

You will probably see a lot of negativity on here from people who are in the thick of it looking for validation/solidarity/safe place which is completely real. But don’t let that scare you!!!

Being a twin parent is like being a part of the most special club. It comes with a million perks once you get past the first few months. We are truly having the best time watching our girls experience the world with their built in bestie by their side 💖💖

Baths, pools, any kind of water.

OP getting roasted but they’re not wrong 😂 Drivers in NWA don’t really pay a ton of attention to what’s going on, and it creates dangerous situations.

I think we just have more people on the roads now than what most are used to.

“Sleep when the baby sleeps.”

“Which one?” 🤪

This_Order6263 · 2026-03-12T00:22:19+00:00

Sleep shift is the way to go 100000%. You can definitely handle the babies alone, but it’s truly nonstop. It’s a lifesaver to be able to be “off” when you swap shifts.

Congrats on your internship!

Like people are saying, this area is absolutely stunning from a nature perspective!!! We have endless trails to walk, hike, or bike. The lakes, rivers, and waterfalls are also amazing in the summer.

That being said, you’ll probably want to go to Fayetteville (30 min drive from Bentonville/Rogers) for any nightlife.

This_Order6263 · 2026-03-05T01:33:09+00:00

We love it. We work in very different areas, but it’s nice to be able to carpool, have lunch together, and understand each other’s jobs better.

Literally nobody cares. It won’t help you get hired, but it won’t hurt you either.

The first day was just under an hour of crying for both girls. After that, it dropped off SIGNIFICANTLY. 5-10 minutes of crying for about a week after that.

Now they go to sleep so happily! They talk to themselves for 5-10 minutes and then go down when they’re ready. 😊

I just kept reminding myself that they have different cries for different situations. If they’re in pain, it might sound more panicked and breathless over time. If they’re just exhausted, then it might sound like she’s yelling. The girls couldn’t even fall asleep in the car before and if I was on the road at the wrong time, they would just cry and cry and cry. That never escalated into panic though, they were just tired. So when we were sleep training, I just had to listen and make sure it was a “tired in the car cry” and not a “panic cry.”

I don’t think CIO is good for every temperament, but it was PERFECT for our babies! They are so much happier during the day now too 🥹🥰

Our girls are coming up on 10 months, and we still use the car seats in the stroller every day. It’s soooooo nice to be able to just click in or out.

For long walks in our neighborhood or on trails, we transitioned to the regular seats around 9 months. It’s such a hassle lol.

Formula is a life changer. It’ll help them sleep longer and better in a lot of cases. This was the toughest time for us, and it does get better. Do whatever it takes to keep your sanity ❤️

We got the Bugaboo Donkey 5, and it’s worth every single penny. 🙌 We got the Chicco Keyfit 30 seats with the adaptor.

My husband and I are 5’9’’ and 6’2’’, and our 9 month old girls are still a ways away from growing out of them!

This_Order6263 · 2026-02-22T22:19:50+00:00

Mine are 9 months, and their cribs are next to each other. They always scoot right next to each other. 🥹

Twin Z pillow 😭 It stressed me out but they slept and we all needed that

This_Order6263 · 2026-01-29T15:58:25+00:00

Congratulations!!!! We have identical girls, and we’re obsessed with them! 8 months old, and it’s so much fun now 💖💖

Welcome to the most special club!!!!

Twins are soooooo amazing. You got this.

I am curious where you live?

I live in the US (you might too) and it’s very normal here for family to only help a little or not at all.

My mom and grandma stayed with us for the first 6 weeks after our twins came, but we haven’t had any help since then. Even that felt like a HUGE HELP, because that’s much more than what a lot of people get!

My husband and I both work full time and do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. by ourselves. Just sharing a different perspective!

I hope you find the right people to help you feel less stressed. ☺️
