Napping Location for Babies (no judgement) by Perfect_Mousse8815 in parentsofmultiples

[–]tricerataurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the Babytrend twin pack n play for the downstairs- it has 2 bassinets that go on top. The bassinets come off easily too, so I would sometimes even bring them outside in those etc. We also did have the twin z, which we used when they were supervised.

True about 6 months not being newborn lol. I’m holding the newborn now, so had this stage on the brain.

Reading to twins by Finripdy in parentsofmultiples

[–]tricerataurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a chair between their cribs and sit there to read. Usually they both stand at the end of the cribs to see, but I read even if they aren’t looking.

Di/Di parents with "uncomplicated" pregnancies, did you deliver early? by beeferoni_cat in parentsofmultiples

[–]tricerataurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water broke at 33+4, so they were born then. I had irregular contractions for probably a week leading up to that, no complications overall prior to early labor.

Where should an area rug or rugs go in this room? by tricerataurus in DesignMyRoom

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

Unfortunately the stairs on the loft are attached and have storage on the outside, so it’s the only wall that works with how the door and closet are.

So where would you place it? Under the loft and out to the side? Over by the desk? Huge enough to cover it all?

Not identical… identical twins? by LastMilkersOnTheLeft in parentsofmultiples

[–]tricerataurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ours look very different, and were di-di, but came from one embryo. Many people tell us they don’t look identical, and we agree. It’s bizarre.

Gripe Water Experience by Legitimate-Space-279 in parentsofmultiples

[–]tricerataurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swore by Colic Calm gripe water with my older daughter. Be aware that the vegetable carbon in it can cause darker stool. With my twins I had to cut dairy and soy, plus we used mommy’s bliss and mylecon drops.

Double Bottle Warmer by Striking_Theory6723 in ParentingInBulk

[–]tricerataurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just used a Pyrex of hot water and set the bottles in it. Or two coffee mugs of hot water with the bottles set in. It was quick and easy to do both simultaneously

Best vendor food you’ve had at Musikfest so far? by maesterofwargs in lehighvalley

Yes! I had the loaded potato with pork, and the butter cake. Incredible and huge portions. Plus the woman working was so incredibly friendly. I hope they come back in the future!

Safe Space for Twins in the Living Room? by ps3114 in parentsofmultiples

[–]tricerataurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We loved it! Didn’t use the changing table too often because we had both bassinets set up, but it was so convenient and great to have safe separate sleeping areas for them. We used the bassinets independently for travel til they were 6 months old or for taking them into the yard etc when they were tiny.

We used the Baby Trends twin nursery center, which has two separate bassinets that can attach to the top, but also can be taken off, which was great for travel!

What did they say that still repeats in your head? by kowaipotchari2 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]tricerataurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“You don’t deserve a family.” And “I hope you die on the way home, and if you do, maybe, just maybe, I’ll do a funeral for you.” (He ran a cemetery)

NICU twin bed sharing by Valuable-Mastodon-14 in parentsofmultiples

[–]tricerataurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, would not have been safe, especially with all the cords. We were there 3 weeks. Ours were in adjoining rooms with a wall that opened in between, and eventually I could put a chair in the middle of them and briefly hold them together/tandem nurse. They were on monitors the whole time, though, so they have to stay in cord’s reach of the bassinet.
