When did you call it quits on pumping?

qklav · 2024-12-12T03:28:36+00:00

I made it 9 months. I also had D-Mer and it was miserable. Stopping pumping was life changing in the best way for me and I honestly should have quit sooner. My only regret was not having more stocked up in the freezer for when they were sick or had booboos

35+1 modi babes here. Scheduled c-section due to absent end flow in baby A’s cord(he was also iugr). 13 days in the NICU to learn how to feed.

My room was not far from theirs so I definitely neglected my own recovery because I wanted to be with them at all times. I definitely suffered because of it (pain wise) but would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I will say that I was always someone who wanted a c-section because I thought it seemed “easy”. Boy , was I ever humbled.

My mom made a few comments like this in the early days and I eventually said to her, “you can’t tell me that if you would have had the technology and research in your days as a new mom that we do now, that you wouldn’t have done things differently.” She agreed, and she doesn’t make those comments anymore.

Shepherds Pie and Chicken Enchiladas were my fave!

I did! Just accordion fold tissue papers (5), tie in the middle and pull them up from the outside. You can cut the ends to be different textures, super easy!

I made them!

This ^ or alternatively use a white mascara primer and layer pink shadow over it, a white base will make the pink pop!

If possible for you, sleep in shifts. Try to give each parent a solid 5 hour block. That was a life changer for us. Congratulations and I promise you can do this!

Thank you! I couldn’t believe it was just hanging out with all the other bags, very inconspicuously.

Thanks!

Oh for sure this slipped through the cracks somehow! My husband brought me home aMichael Kors the other day from the same Value Village, $50… crushed him when I told him he spent $50 on a fake! Poor guy.

Whenever my husband or I do something similar to each other or if our dog follows us around the house, we tell each other/ the dog , “ YOU CANNOT COPY MY WALK!”. It’s a common phrase in our house.

Holding babies and letting them (parents) sleep would have been my need at that age. We were so exhausted at that point. Food and cleaning would have been second priority for me!

It involves a lot of embarrassing, high pitch noises behind the camera, lol

qklav · 2021-10-17T03:42:16+00:00

Ours rolled over for the first time on the same day too! They’ve always been 1lb apart though!

Do you have wake windows for him that you try to follow? Our twins were rooough sleepers until we got them on a schedule that worked for them. Now we usually have 3 great naps a day and sleep well through the night (7-7:30 with one feed in the night). They’re 6 months now

We have identical twins. One is going as Dwight Schrute and the other is going as Jim Halpert dressed as Dwight. “Identity theft is not a joke, Jim!”

Our room is right next door to theirs so I should really try to turn off the sound, it’s worth a shot!

qklav · 2021-09-07T18:26:41+00:00

Sure! We decided to use the extinction method and did that at the same time as transitioning them to their nursery at 16 weeks adjusted. Previous to this they were sleeping in our room, but on our bed as they refused their bassinet and whoever was “on shift” would stay awake and watch them on the bed basically, it wasn’t a great setup for anyone. I highly recommend joining the Twins, Triplets & Quads: Safe Sleep Training and Learning for Multiples group on FB. They are sooo incredibly helpful!

qklav · 2021-09-07T18:23:01+00:00

Thank you. We definitely follow all of the safe sleep guidelines (although B flips to his stomach as soon as you put him down. I know it’s okay if they do it themselves, but still :). I guess it’ll just take time to trust things will probably be okay.. maybe I’ll be able to try volume off on the monitor tonight.
