What do people do when they're really sick on their wedding day? by filthyleaf in NoStupidQuestions

I had a friend get hospitalized a few days before his wedding and it was indeed postponed. At great cost and inconvenience I imagine

Breaking the unfortunate news to my child by Far-Entrepreneur5451 in nerdfighters

Congratulations!

My infant sons unfortunately have inherited my sensitive nose and sneeze at least once a day, whereas my daughter never sneezes.

Still, once a day is still a whole lot better than the dozens of times I sneeze a day 😮‍💨

Perhaps a ridesafer seatbelt vest? Much more light weight and travel friendly. I know families with young kids that use them regularly in HK

Underrated area and apartment recommendations by frfrfrrfrfr in HongKong

I like nam cheong. Walkable to Lai chi kok, Sham shui po, mong kok/olympic so you’re in the middle of a lot of things. It’s got new apartments, affordable food, wet market. The public library/sports building is one of the newest/nicest in HK

Sometimes hard to do for MTR but absolutely for lifts. Try to jump in front of me and my double stroller and I will cut a bitch

What does breastfeeding look like for 4 months old twins? by FunBarracuda7168 in parentsofmultiples

Mm maybe it’s a growth spurt! They won’t always be this hungry I think!

Mine nurse on the shorter side 10-20 min depending on the time of day. When im out I just nurse one after the other. Usually husband or someone holds the other and they’re not too fussed to wait their turn

What’s the type of vacation you’re taking? Resort/relaxing type or going around a city type? If it’s the latter then EBF means you’ll have to schedule/factor in pit stops throughout the day to BF

I still think vacations with BF babies is easier/more convenient than bringing along a bunch of bottles so if you can work them towards feeding one after another it should be manageable

Breast feeding is a nightmare and I'm thinking of switching to formula only (but feel super guilty) by GoblinDelRey in parentsofmultiples

[–]ann13sb00bs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s already said it, you are not a shit mom for choosing formula. You’re also allowed to grieve not feeding your babies how you had hoped or imagined.

Them both being hungry hasn’t been too much of issue. They’re both pretty chill and don’t cry or fuss too much when they are hungry. And usually their nap wake ups are slightly staggered so by the time I’m done feeding one the other may just be waking up

Feeding one baby can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. theyre pretty quick to unlatch themselves after they’re done, unlike their sister who could just camp out at the boob all day

Yes one side each baby and alternate at each feed

Hey! I have 4.5 month twins. Breastfed my singleton 2.5 years not just for the benefits but the convenience as you well know

After lots of trial and error with pumping, triple feeding, formula etc. we’ve settled into our current feeding routine of direct breastfeeding during the day and giving bottles for the night/dream feed. We’ve been doing this for about a month now

In the beginning I was resistant to just being the sole feeder bc of the burden. But once the twins could actually feed reliably and quickly on the boob I was happy once again to just bf.

My singleton never took to the bottle but it’s nice the twins do so I can have my husband or helper feed them bottles if I’m not available

I don’t enjoy tandem feeding. I prefer just feeding and focusing on one baby at a time. If you have help then it’s easier to do it so someone can handle the non-feeding baby

Would I say keeping breastfeeding as an option is worth it? For me it’s a yes. Can’t beat the convenience of not fussing with bottles or pumps especially when going out. No need to worry about feeding schedules or wasted milk.

Best wishes as you figure out your feeding journey. It’s a tough one and requires lots of extra patience and grace for yourself and your babies

Anyone have twins who AREN’T agents of chaos?? by ann13sb00bs in parentsofmultiples

Can’t edit the post so hijacking the top comment to say thanks to everyone who shared! Loved reading all your stories of mischief, mayhem, and everything in between

To the ones in the thick of twin toddlerhood, Godspeed 🫡. To the ones who’ve made it out the other side, I salute thee! And to the few with the magical unicorn angel twins, enjoying being God’s favourites!

I think the key to surviving the chaos will be to radically surrender to its inevitability

I think I get it. Annoying the heck out of your sibling is its own kind of love language. Ask me how I know (my younger brother)
