I’m 16 weeks now with twins...I’ve had a daughter so I’m definitely finding this pregnancy some what different 😂 I just kee thinking it will be worth it, my biggest advice make sure you have snacks and drink at all times x

Congrats!

This happened to me at my early scan 😄💕 congratulations!!

You’re in for a fun ride! Congrats!!!

How many weeks are you?

Congratulations girl 🤩🤩

congratulations mama 🎉

Congratulations!
My twins are almost 11 months - it is so special being a twin mama.
Any questions then feel free to message and ask. 🥰

This happened to me too! It was a total shock, I couldn’t stop laughing hysterically. We found out around 8 wks and now we’re in the 10th week. Still adjusting but the shock is wearing off. I highly recommend the book “When you’re expecting twins, triplets or quads” by Dr. Barbara Luke.

Congrats! 💕 I’m 36 weeks with twins and it’s been quite a journey. I can’t wait to meet them soon! The best advice I received as I prepared for their arrival was to do a lot of research on which items you actually need two of. For example, don’t need two baby tubs because you won’t bathe both at the same time. Lots of little things like that. Also, you’ll probably have more ultrasounds during your pregnancy than those with a singleton do (at least in the US), so I got many extra glimpses of our kiddos. Feel free to message me if you have any questions during your pregnancy. Congrats again—it’s going to be an awesome adventure!

Welcome to the club! 🤗 Still trying to figure how I’m going to do it when they’re actually here. 🥴😅

I couldn’t breath and kept laughing and tearing up all at the same time when I saw the 2 little beans on the screen. My doctor kept telling me to breath lol.

Congratulations!

Ayuyyeee congratulations 🥳
Lowkey I might be crazy but I really kinda thought I was having twins lol I was kinda disappointed... lol I’m happy for you mama.

Congrats!we found out at an early scan as well. My first pregnancy was a breeze compared to this one but so excited for two babies to cuddle and love xx

Read the book “12 hours sleep by 12 weeks old” was created for twins. I used the method for my baby (I “only” Have one) and my baby slept through the night in a stretch of 12 hours with 11 weeks old.

Peace of mind please

I shot up at 4am last night and had the urge to check my little boy who sleeps in a cot next to our bed.
For the first time he has rolled over and was sleeping on his stomach, my heart dropped.
I was so scared that I picked him up to make sure he was okay and he was just sound asleep…

What are we supposed to do if they roll over in their sleep?! He’s almost 6 months old and I’m prettified of him rolling and it being a different outcome if I don’t wake up..

Just need some peace of mind that this is
okay?

Baby slept all night

Sorry, I just need to post this... my little boy is 12w5d and he slept through from 9:30-6am, woke for a feed and went back to sleep until 8:30!!! I can't believe it. I was obviously up every few hours checking on him and making sure he was ok, so I didn't get a full nights sleep 🤣 but I'm so pleased for him! 🎉🥳 (not a brag btw, I'm just so pleased and wanted to share)

Car seat

This car seat says 0-14 months. We bought it when my baby was around 5/6 months when he grew out of the old one and the lady who sold it to us in smyths toy shop said it can be used up until 4 I believe but why does the sticker on it say 0-14 months then? Does anyone e else have this seat the joie 360 spin?

moving to cows milk

hi! my boy is one next week and changing to cows milk is really confusing me. he is fed to sleep sith formula three times a day, before his two naps and bedtime. how do i change to cows milk, especially if ideally the cows milk shouldn’t go in a bottle? i just so lost and quite dusted by the whole process. i have a munchkin miracle 360 cup and he can drink through a straw or open cup but before bed seems very disruptive to the routine

🥲

Do any mums who breastfeed and co-sleep — especially once baby doesn’t really need night feeds — ever let their baby cry for a bit in the pram to fall asleep, just so you can have a few minutes to yourself?
A friend suggested this to me, but honestly it breaks my heart. I tried it once and it did work, but I’m not sure I could do it all the time. She’s a childcare teacher and said with sleep training you sometimes let them cry for up to 30 minutes… but I don’t know how people do it.
She also mentioned that a lot of mums here on the Gold Coast, Australia do it during the day when their baby’s tired — letting them fall asleep in the pram so they can have a coffee or catch up with friends without having to rush home for a nap.
I just feel like it might not be good for their nervous system and it doesn’t sit right with me… but then again, I’m also a first-time mum.

Would you consider a baby not talking at the age of 1 a developmental delay?

Based off a recent post, someone said that a child that doesn’t speak at the age of 1 is developmentally delayed.

Do you agree?
