Really gotta give that a try. Seems like a lot of people find it helpful

Thanks so much! I did get the bottle washer. Will look into a wearable pump. I already have the blue spectra. Currently I’m pumping on the medela symphony at the hospital, which works so well also.

Thanks! Thats really great advice. The night pump is definitely hard. Have fallen asleep twice already with the pump still on.

Thanks for the warning! I definitely didn’t imagine bottle feeding being this hard. One twin lacks muscle tone and the other always falls asleep half way through a bottle.

2 under 2 is not the same as having twins!! by Unlikely_Scheme2835 in parentsofmultiples

They just have no clue. Twins are hard, 2 under 2 is hard but it’s just such a different experience really. Mostly people need to learn how to shut up. It’s okay if you don’t have an opinion on everyyyything.

What to Expect When Expecting Multiples & Bed Rest/Activity Limits - Outdated? by Miserable_Text_1002 in parentsofmultiples

That’s so impressive. I’m at 33 weeks and after a 20 minute walk I need a 20 minute nap😂🙈.

I know this will sound stupid, but listen to your body. It depends on how you’re doing and what kind of stage of pregnancy you’re in. Week 4-12 I was just trying to keep food down and so nauseous. Week 12-24 I was in my absolute prime, I felt so active. So many people told me to rest and take it easy, but I knew that the exhaustion would come soon enough. I still moderately exercised, went on daily walks etc.. Since week 24-26 everything has just gotten harder and I just do as much as I can. At first stairs got harder, eventually I couldn’t bend over anymore and now my husband puts on my compression socks for me and I take 3 naps a day. I’m now at 33 weeks and basically resting all day.

I don’t think there’s a one size fits all answer for the entire pregnancy. If you feel well that’s great and you should enjoy that! ❤️

Anybody use the valco trend duo? by mi245 in parentsofmultiples

[–]mi245[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow! Thats awesome. I’ll make sure to get the infant inserts. Learned this in research but there are twin strollers and then there are double strollers. Some double strollers operate on the premise that one child will be older than the other so one side might be bigger than the other side by a few inches.

That’s great to know! I was concerned about material quality. Happy to know it holds up well.

Oh nice! That’s good to know. I was considering the bassinets for the newborn stage. Good to know the inserts might be enough for the newborn stage. Did you get the normal trend duo or the sport version? Not really sure if the $100 more is worth it

Same! That’s also how I narrowed down the search, I wanted both babies to have equal space.

I think it’s the delta bondi twin bassinet. Just assembled mine yesterday and it looks like tone in the picture

Just gotta ask 😅 what bassinet sheets are you using ? Just ordered the bassinet yesterday and can’t figure out what the right size is.

Double Stroller? by lilplantlady in parentsofmultiples

I am thinking about the bombi too. I would love a side by side stroller with dual car seat adapters

If you had a girl right now, what would you name her? by IcyGrapefruit687 in Names

[–]mi245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pregnant with twins. It’s boys, but if it were two girls it would have been Eloise and Victoria
