I’ve really mastered this double pick up so one twin isn’t left behind while I take care of the other baby.☺️ And they LOVE it when I carry ‘em both — I wonder if it’s bc it smushes them together like they were in my womb?!🥰😆 There’s nothing “ordinary” about being a twin mom. Everything I thought I knew and was confident in as a mommy to two singletons has been challenging with two.💙 The biggest challenge has been in the sleeping and eating department … but I dont know - it’s also simple things like just gathering all the kids up to go anywhere….its just all feeling a wee bit more difficult🤪 I really thought for sure breastfeeding the twins would be so easy bc I had an over supply with my last baby & I exclusively nursed each of my older two for one year - but I’m having to supplement with formula this time around.🍼 Thank God for formula!🙏 I don’t know why I feared sleep training this time around? I did a very gentle Ferber-like approach with both of my older two and it worked GREAT. But this time around it’s like my confidence went out the window. It’s just that hearing my babies cry for even 1 min hurts my heart - and as you can imagine if they’re both crying it’s double stressful. OR If they go one after the other it feels like they’ve been crying forever. it FEELS soul crushing - when really neither of them have cried for long. We are on night 5 of sleep training tonight and although they each woke up once last night - the night before they slept the👏whole👏night👏 so I have HOPE we are turning a corner.🤞 Anyways, I’m just blabbering on now 🤪 … I know these hard times won’t last forever! We are really starting to get our groove already!👏👏❤️❤️ This whole twin mom thing is inevitably going to be a bit double the “trouble” but it’s also double alllllll the fun!💯… just look at their sweet smiles!🥰 #twinmom #twinning #twinsofinstagram #boymom #6monthsold #doubledouble #identicaltwins - @jamienotis
