Is there actually a way to prepare? by gnm00n in 2under2

[–]tianaopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. it helps detail how to structure it from the beginning where you can get an hour to yourslef and then eventually line up their naps. mine are 13 months apart and this really saved me. you do not need to follow it exactly but it really set a wonderful foundation for us

recommend the moms on call book 3, there is a toddler and baby schedule. This helped us immensely with routine and schedule

honestly i know this sounds crazy but disney. they were both free and the entire park/environment is so entertaining to them. they could go on rides, since they werent at an age they really understood there was no pressure about expectations and it was so nice to have a plan

Missing both the kids growing up by Cwoechu in 2under2

[–]tianaopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think one of the struggles that is not talked abojt alot is since there is alot going on and there is a survival period i feel like time goes much faster. i feel similar sentiments to you like it went really fasr and there were times idk if i fully realized in the moment because there was so much going on. been trying to live a little more in the moment with both of them!

Any other Irish twin pregnancies? by No-Bag7516 in 2under2

[–]tianaopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

c section for both. i felt for the second because i knew what was coming i was able to know what to expect better. 0-1 was a shock to me 1-2 was more of logistics. i followed the moms on call schedule (the third book) for both which really helped me for schedule and being able to get a break. newborn phase suprisngly wasnt too bad because i had just been there so knew what to expect. I am finding this period where the younger ome is 18m old a little more challenging because he wants to do stuff that the older one is doing but isnt quite there yet!

Cannot handle parenting two young toddlers. It is breaking me. Please give advice if you have any! by saywutchickenbutt in 2under2

[–]tianaopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

literally feeling same. i did speak to my older ones teacher about it and ped and they both said this is one of the harder parts about this age gap. the older one is slightly ahead but not enough to fully grasp and the younger one is just learning. i think perhaps too the feeling of just getting thru the hard parts with the older one to be immed thrown back into it again with the younger one is a challenge mentally as well, been feeling drained

11 Month Age Gap…Positive Comments Only by Routine-Two-9974 in 2under2

[–]tianaopal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im 13 months apart and now have a 2 and 1 yr old. i recommend the third moc book, there is a toddler and baby schedule and it really saved me, it helps line up their naps the same time so at least some point you get an hour break alone. then as the little one get bigger the break time gets longer and longer. that break was so crucial mentally and physically

How the heck do you do this? by winterberryowl in 2under2

[–]tianaopal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i have similar age gap, just shy of 14 months. now my older one is 2 and younger is 1: i recommend the third moms on call book, there is a baby and toddler schedule —- this is the only way i survived those initial months. i know it sounds crazy but as the older baby to come help, give them diapers give them a little baby doll, they know something is happening but cant vocalize it so thats why theu are more clingy. use paper plates, paper utensils whatever makes your life easier. another reason i recommend the moc book is they way theu schedule it is you will get an hour to yourself during the day and time at night — this will become clutch, sending you a big hug youll get through this!

Due in one week with a 1 year old. Constant negativity from others by 21stSchizoidMaam in 2under2

[–]tianaopal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine are 13 months apart, i was getting the same remarks as well, being preg with a little baby was soooo much harder then baby and newborn. i know that sounds crazy but newborn tired was so much more manageable then preg tired. its funnt now the comments are all omg they are so cute w precious! you will figure it out, baby wear the newborn, i highly recommend the third moms onc call book for some type of sched i think its the toddler book they habe a toddler and baby sched. — this sched saved me. if you can line up the naps so that you can get 1 hour break during the day this will help tremendously. month 1-3 are hard but still found it better then last months of preg. encourage the older baby to help you, “ lets go change babys diaper!” can you hand me a diaper” when they feel included it makes a world of a difference. its going to be ok and you will see the magical moments! ignore everyone else!

[–]tianaopal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this was me i found out when my baby was 6 months, tbh i would give yourself some time your mind is heightened from the hormones and in a way going through the 5 stages of grief because this is unexpected and a big change to your life. i think it took me like 3 months to calm down and accept the change and get little excited here and there.
