I am a new proud mother of twin boys. Are there any moms on here that
were blessed with twins or other multiples? Please share any advice, would be much appreciated! |

Thank you so much everyone! Yes, there are days that it's a little hard to function without rest, but it's all worth it. Thank you for the words of encouragement. Children are a blessing but twins are a double blessing! |

My twins are 8 now, boy/girl. The best advice I have is 1. join a parents of twins cub if there is one on your area; these folks were a great source of help to me, 2. you will survive it - there will be days when you feel like you won't, but you will and 3. get rest whenever you can. People will say to you that their kids are so close in age that they know what it's like having twins - they are blissful in their ignorance. Congrats. It's an adventure.

I'm a big sister of twin brothers. My mom had my sister in Feb and the following Feb had twin boys. All I can say is that it gets easier! My brothers shared the same bed well into jr high because they wanted to not because they didn't have their own. They just opted on being together. The publice school at the time wanted them in different class rooms but now they seem to give you the choice. My thought is anything you can do for one you might as well do for two or three. Let me know if you have anything I can answer directly.

Congratulations!
I have twin girls. :) They turned 12 this year!
If you have any specifac questions let me know.
I remember some of the best advice I got was
Sleep when they sleep!
Also for all of those little baby onesies and nighties that you have to wash constantly...I just had two baskets that I kept them in so I didn't have to fold them.
I don't know if your nursing but if so make sure you remember to eat and drink a lot :) I always had juice in the fridge and tried to have easy healthy snacks so I could always grab something to eat when I needed it.
Accept help from others :)
Enjoy! They grow up so fast

Congrats, mama! I don't have twins, but have several friend who do. Their best advice? Get them on the same schedule. If one wakes to feed and the other is still sleeping, you wake that babe and make him eat! Also, let them sleep together, in their crib or in your bed if bed-sharing. Good luck!!!
