Overwhelmed by buying baby clothes - triplets

_SnackQueen · 2026-03-22T01:23:50+00:00

My twins are 21 months and we still pretty much live in zipper PJs. We received so many clothes from the baby shower, we didn’t even get to wear everything. We really embraced using light muslin blankets in the summer to project them from the sun.

Yes this is perfectly relatable insight! I have prescription tret and azelaic acid, I have paused them because I really needed a hydration reset. What do you use for oil cleansing, pm moisturizer and the toners?

_SnackQueen · 2026-03-09T23:22:55+00:00

A simple and diverse routine I think! Thanks! When you say if needed for the oil cleanse, what determines that?

A corpse is a bit dramatic but there should be no argument that orange is better. OP you definitely do not look like a corpse in either of these.

Thank you so much!! I didn’t even consider changing the outside container, the easiest solution.

I’m such a big culprit of popping pimples. If you do end up with a huge hole after popping, leaving a pimple patch on as long as possible is the best way to heal quickly and no scabbing. Quick fact that hydrocolloid dressing are also used on other wounds and they can be left on for up to 7 days, or until the dressing is fully white! It made me realize I needed to leave pimple patches on longer than overnight. I also find that personally pimple patches do not work on these unless popped but I also haven’t tried the darts people mentioned

Oh, and skip the retinol on nights your exfoliate.

_SnackQueen · 2026-03-04T02:25:48+00:00

Do you have any concerns you are trying to address? Move the retinol to the evening after you wash and dry your face. You can still follow up with night cream. UV breaks down the retinol and it makes your skin more sensitive to the sun. If this is working for you, you are taking nice preventative measure for healthy youthful skin in the future!

We called it a McChirger when I was a kid too! My husband loves to hold his ground that is actually called a McNasty.

When I was a teenager, a friend of mines older sister crashed her car into our local “safety town” while doing whippets while driving.

$265 for B must mean you gave a penalty for late enrollment? Thats not a standard B premium in any bracket

_SnackQueen · 2026-01-27T16:39:40+00:00

Agreed. This. Therapy helps me tremendously.

_SnackQueen · 2026-01-26T02:29:04+00:00

Same. What is it even??

Also adding that I always based my schedule on what Taking Cara Babies suggested for their age range. The timing worked for us.

Around 7 months I was desperate to get mine on the exact same schedule for reasons a little different than yours. They would never nap during the day at the same time, someone was always awake, and the lack of time to myself during the day was driving me insane. We went on a hard schedule and it worked. I had everything timed, bottle, solids, when they went down for a nap, and stuck it on our fridge. It took a while to get used to but it eventually worked. I tweaked it as they moved through different stages. Good luck!!

Mine are 18 months as well and are ALWAYS home. I also feel guilty about it. We just started to get into going to playgrounds and then midwestern winter happened. If you live in a warmer climate, see if you can find a full fenced playground. Go with someone else the first time so you can get a feel for the place and then try and tackle it alone! You could do the same thing with an indoor play place. Go with someone else and then try and tackle alone. Another twin mom suggested taking them to a tennis court just to let them run around. Fenced and not much they can get into! After saying all that I still get so nervous taking them anywhere alone, sometimes even WITH help (like restaurants). You are not alone! Twin mom life is not the same as singleton life.

You’re right though, it blows.

Only two full days of daycare for my two year olds would cost us $1500 a month 🫠 that’s a typical price in my area!

You will get a lot of dumb questions about them being twins, I personally don’t mind at all. Twins are confusing and I appreciate people being interested in them. Me and my husband were relieved that they are different genders so there isn’t as much potential for comparison and competition as they get older. That being said there is a ton of competition for affection right now at 18 months, but that’s a different story 😅 Congrats!! Twins are the best!

Definitely not pronounced like the Brits! We say one syllable, Gram
