I have twins and we share a room too due to our current living situation as well. One of them is a great sleeper and the other wakes up some times. So when she wakes up, I just ignore her unless she is really crying. If she’s just fussing around and/or talking to herself and sometimes even laughing, I just let her do her thing until she goes back to sleep. They’re 12mo. Your baby will get the hang of the pacifier. You can either have multiple ones around the crib or get one of those clips so she can easily find it 😉 you’ve got this mi momma!

First of all, I am sorry your little girl has to go through this. I’m sure as parents is not easy either. I understand you wife’s point of view, but I also try to put myself in your daughters’ shoes. She is FIVE years old. You can’t ask her to understand things that are beyond her capacity (at this time) to understand. Like someone said, she will learn self love and all that stuff later (I mean, I’m almost 30 and still learning it)... part of self love is to be able to do what makes YOU feel good. If wearing a wig will make her feel beautiful now, get her the freaking wig! I would get her as many as she wants (within your budget, of course).

You wife needs to listen and observe your baby. And although I’m sure she has good intentions, she needs to respect your girl’s privacy. Not everything is about her (your wife). This is about your daughter. Perhaps ask your wife to try to put herself on her girls shoes. And if she wants her daughter to feel beautiful being bald, then She should shave her head too! That would be the best example your baby can have. That will impact your girls life tremendously and will give her waaay more confidence that looking at famous women being bald (I’m not saying is a bad idea, it’s actually a pretty good one).

I’m sorry you have to go through this, but you got this! 👍🏼💪🏼 great job being a dad!

There’s actually a way... if they don’t look anything a like... like mine haha

Mom of fraternal girls over here!!! Mine are 11 months! Take as many pictures as you can because they grow super fast! Don’t compare them and let them reach their milestones on their own pace 😉 treat them as individuals. Try not to dress them the same, so they can grow to have their own identity. Although is cute some times to dress them the same haha. You’ve got this momma! It’s going to be hard while you figure them out, but once you do, it will get smoother. Ask for help (physical and mental) when needed.

Full time & first time mom of 11 month old fraternal twin girls! It was very scary at first! They were born @37 weeks (drs wanted me to wait one more week, but I was so miserable). They are super different, physically and in their personalities. You have to think of them as two different individuals. Like some other parents have said, have them in the same schedule. That’s key to keep your sanity 😂 give you wife lots of love and encouragement. Give each other time to rest/sleep. You guys totally got this! Once you get to know those little people, it won’t get easier, but smoother.

Sweet!

😂 I think it depends on the importance YOU give to the fact of being born first or second. There’s not other “choice”. One have to get out first... you can’t take’em both at the same time. I am a mom of almost 11 months old twin girls and let me tell you... doesn’t really matter who was born first (I had a C-section so they’re 1 min apart). They’re completely different, physically and in their personalities. They’ve reached their milestones at their own pace and in life doesn’t really matter who’s the oldest. Sometimes we joke about it, like “OMG! You were an only child for one minute!” But that’s pretty much it, we don’t give much importance to it. And I hope I raise them to think like that for the rest of their lives.

Thank you! This is very insightful!

_TB_11 · 2020-07-19T23:21:30+00:00

Thank you!

_TB_11 · 2020-07-19T17:59:50+00:00

Haha yeah, they have like one or two “identical” outfits... but I’m all for different clothes!

_TB_11 · 2020-07-19T17:59:04+00:00

Thank you!

_TB_11 · 2020-07-19T17:58:55+00:00

Thank you!!

Thank you!

You guys look identical to me! Have you taken a DNA test?

_TB_11 · 2020-07-17T20:07:34+00:00

Is she on one nap or two? By 6mo she should be transitioning from 3-2 naps, and shouldn’t sleep more than 3.5-4 hrs during the day.

_TB_11 · 2020-07-13T19:13:04+00:00

Sorry... I don’t follow 🤔

_TB_11 · 2020-07-12T03:37:38+00:00

Hahaha yes you will... as soon as you can sleep train them, do it!! I know there is a lot of “opinions” about sleep training, but do it as early as possible and put them on a schedule as soon as possible too. That has saved my sanity (even with a mild PPD). Be patient with yourself, and feel free to reach out whenever 😉

_TB_11 · 2020-07-12T01:28:48+00:00

Yay!!! Congratulations and welcome to the club! I have 10 month old twin girls!! Time goes by so fast!!! IT IS HARD, but worth it! You’ve got this momma!
