Twin mum advice

Hey I have twins mine were micro preemie I had them at 25 in half weeks now they 7 years old when it's near feeding time put TV on or play music or do tummy time w the other n make sure u feed them on a schedule so it can help n make sure they food waiting for them not them waiting on it put alarms on ur phone to help

I’m right there with you! My twins are 12 weeks and one is also bigger than the other and sleeps better. One we put to bed between 7:30/8:30 and will sleep until after 5am the other will wake up a couple times to eat. It was so much worse before and it has gotten a lot better as they both keep getting bigger. My husband went back to work after 3 weeks and the sleep deprivation is no joke. It’s hard to keep them on the same schedule and wake up the other twin if the other twin is sleeping multiple hours more. To avoid the smaller one waking up the other we put them in different bassinets on either sides of the room and then have the sound machine positioned between the two. While they can definitely still hear each other I do think it has helped. My husband also takes a shift at night. I’ll do the first wake up and then he will do the second (whatever kid it is) and that did wonders for me mentally. One night we tried also sleeping in different rooms and had a kid each to take care..

of and we both got a lot more sleep that way too. I don’t like being separated so don’t do it often but when you are really needing better nights it’s an idea to try. You arent alone 🤍 I just keep trying different things and some gets us more sleep than others

For activities my girls love the Fischer price piano play mat. We do tummy time but they don’t enjoy it for long so we just put them on their backs and it entertains them for a good amount of time!
