Congrats!

My twin boys are 4 and a half now. I love the bond they share, they are always with each other, wether that be fighting, or being best of friends.

It is so true my twins are identical boys aged 5 1/2 and they cant be with out each other yet they act as if they cant stand each other..:rolleyes:

Congrats to you 'Alannah's mum' on the birth of your twins, its real hard work but it is worth every minute. I would NEVER swap for anything less..:D

I hope I can give you some practical advise when the trouble arises, there are alot of helpful parents and parents to be here and no doute you will get a straight forward answer.;)

Welcome to bubhub & congratulations on you two lil men.

[mylittletwins]

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes, i cant believe how much work it is but i must say that i love every minute of it. They will be 8 weeks tomorrow and i cant believe how quick that has gone.

My main concern has been the sleeping with twin 1. After i have fed him and put him down i then have to feed twin two, this order dosent happen all the time but when it does twin 1 will start crying as soon as i have put him in the cot. Since i am bottle feeding i dont have any free hands to soothe him to sleep so unfortunately he has to cry himself to sleep which can take over 1/2 an hour at times.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so what did you do?:confused:

Congratulations and welcome to bubhub...
I know how much work there is with one bub, so I admire anyone who has twins...

I am sure you will get some great tips and advice from the ladies here...

I bottle fed both my boys at the same time. I would either have them in their rockers, or in their cot (they shared one) and I would hold the bottles for them.

Hi!

Congratulations on your babies! I have one year old b/g twins. When they were that little I used to feed them one after the other, but once I started feeding them at the same time it was so much easier and a lot less time consuming. I just used to lie them on the feeding pillows.

Sounds like your twin 1 might still have a burp in there when he's crying. If you lie the other twin on a pillow to feed him, you can have the other one on your shoulder to burp.

I know it is so hard those first few months, but believe me it does get a lot easier. And we are reaping the rewards of having twins now because they have a built in best friend to play with!!

Good Luck
Michelle
