Multiple birth
Anyone else out there have/had premature twins and really struggling with the actual age Vs corrected age development? My twins are almost 11 weeks old and I was getting excited for the first smile/engagement/interaction moments, but their corrected age is actually 3 weeks old, so we've got almost two extra months of the monotonous, mind-numbing and overwhelming newborn stage that is just eat-poop-cry-nap x2. I'm struggling with how constant it is and how all day every day I'm giving 200% of myself to the babies and getting nothing back from them. I know the first few months are always about just surviving, but I'm finding myself dreading hearing them stirring from a sleep and knowing that I've got to do it all over again and wishing away the newborn phase. Feeling mega guilty, overwhelmed, overstimulated, exhausted and teary all the time. Please tell me I'm not the only one?

Does anyone have any tips on how to feed 9 weeks premmie twins one at a time without it taking over an hour? (sometimes also needing bottle top ups as they both recently had a tongue tie clip). Trying to work out how to feed them when I can't tandem feed.

Has anyone had twins with a toddler already? How did you manage the birth? What did you have in place and do it go to plan?
I know each birth is different and this time we really can't plan it. But just wondering what people have done? We have a local support network through me working at the nursery and other military mums I've made friends with but both our families are 2 hours away.
