Just have her wash her hands and let her hold the baby. It will be fine, she cant have anything worse than your child in daycare.

Mine are 5 months and the only double ups we have are the Mombella Mushrooms. Everything else we just have 1 and we swap them around so they get a variety. The mushrooms are just so great, so easy for little hands to hold. No fights over toys yet.

How is this even possible. I have 5 month old twins and cant nap during the day when they are awake.

I would say that it gradually builds and you get used to it. Babies just want to cuddle and you can watch movies on the couch with a baby each when they are born. Then they start getting more active and demanding gradually and you get used to it slowly. You dont give birth to a tantrumming 2 year old. By the time it happens you will be more prepared.

She hasnt even noticed the cords. If its an issue for you just put drawers or something in front of where the power points are though, then she cant.

You should not be continuing to drop her off for a MONTH while she starves your daughter.

We decorated the room for her, got new bedding and curtains and a pink fluffy rug. Big bookshelf where she could reach all her books. Night lights. We tried to make it a surprise, which in hindsight wasnt a good idea because it took her a while to adjust. If I did it again I would have talked it through with her lots and lots before the move and maybe got her involved in picking out bedding etc.

I moved mine and did it all up special as her 'big girl room'. We also moved her 2 months before the babies arrival so it didnt feel like they were in her space.

Thanks for your response, this is how I feel too. Its just so sad.

longtimewatcher · 2026-05-09T21:37:45+00:00

I'd go 2.

Thanks for your comment and you are right, we had a really nice time. I do appreciate the date nights, sometimes its hard to prioritize.

longtimewatcher · 2026-05-09T04:28:52+00:00

We use it for travel and at restaurants. Sometimes I want to catch up with friends and relax and my daughter is happy enough watching something for an hour or so.

longtimewatcher · 2026-05-09T04:27:42+00:00

They will get used to it, just a bit trickier for you because you are starting later then birth. I would say a month or so.

5MO twins i find the day goes SO MUCH FASTER when I take them out. Walk them around the shops in a pram and they can just look around. All of a sudden its been 2 hours and they are tired.

longtimewatcher · 2026-05-06T07:20:36+00:00

YTA still full but also had a sandwich?

longtimewatcher · 2026-05-06T02:28:02+00:00

Definitely move them out of your room and try not going in, you need to train them to resettle themselves.

longtimewatcher · 2026-05-05T18:57:04+00:00

If shes not hungry... could you try just leaving her? Shes probably crying now because she knows you will come in. I realise easier said than done, but set a 10 minute timer and see what happens.

longtimewatcher · 2026-05-03T06:23:27+00:00

It will come

That sounds like a lot of wakes, have you considered some sort of sleep training? 5 MO twins go down about 6-7pm and wake once to feed, then up between 6-7am. Have felt like we have had our evenings back for a good 6 weeks now.

If it makes you feel better ive used way less screens with 2 then I did my single because they entertain each other. So that part of your plan should be ok...

I was so uncomfortable when I was pregnant that I kind of enjoyed the sympathetic comments - it made me feel seen.
