news:Udednf6RA_6DPBHZnZ2dnUVZ_rKdnZ2d@prairiewave. com... "MareCat" wrote in Congratulations! I'm 22 weeks along with twin girls. No Kidding!! I didn't know that. Congratulations :-D. I'm a little obsessed with all things twin and don't know anyone IRL so if you ever want to bounce anything around don't hesitate to post, lol. Thanks! I'm sure I'll have *plenty* of questions! DH and I have two sets of (identical) twin nieces, so we do have sources of information available (just not for b/fing). My DD and I co-slept (making night-time feedings much easier), but I really can't see that as an option with twins. Some people do I think but I have my twins in their cribs. I sometimes bring them in my bed around 6am and spend a couple hours there but I don't like it much. I also co-slept with my first two singletons. I would really like to have these babies sleep in their cribs right from the start. I'm a huge advocate of co-sleeping, and I really liked co-sleeping with my DD at first (when she was very little and didn't move much), but once she got bigger and started moving around more, I had a lot of trouble sleeping. (It also made night weaning her more difficult. That didn't happen until she was two or so.) Also, how do you b/f round-the-clock with two? Do you b/f both at the same time? My DD was constantly at the breast when she was a newborn. Lucky for me the twins don't seem to do as much marathon nursing as my others. 3 nights a week is all maybe. I do nurse both together as often as I can work that out. It is definitely a time saver. http://www.doubleblessings.com/Searc...tegory=Feeding That nursing pillow is worth every penny! Wow! Great website! How is that nursing pillow different from pillows like the Boppy? Gotta run or I would post more. Thanks for the info, Nikki! Mary |

"MareCat" wrote in Thanks! I'm sure I'll have *plenty* of questions! DH and I have two sets of (identical) twin nieces, Oh fun! Do you know if yours are identical? They told me there was a good chance mine were but couldn't be certain. Mine are *very* different so definitely fraternal. One is dark haired and big. One is bald with blonde peach fuzz and very fine featured/boned :-) I would really like to have these babies sleep in their cribs right from the start. Yep. I actually said that before I knew they were twins though. I'm hoping that they sleep better. Co-sleeping was nice but I was not able to get up out of bed with mine so it had draw backs too. I have no idea how I'd sleep safely with two either. Mine do share their crib. Wow! Great website! How is that nursing pillow different from pillows like the Boppy? I never actually had a Boppy so I'm not sure how they are different in practice. By looking at them the EZ 2 nurse pillow is quite a bit bigger. I nurse both babies at once by putting them in the football hold. I can then move one up and let him sleep on it if the other isn't finished. -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |

Do you know if yours are identical? While there's a *very* slight chance they're identical, it's much, much more likely that they're fraternal, as we used fertility meds. They told me there was a good chance mine were but couldn't be certain. Mine are *very* different so definitely fraternal. One is dark haired and big. One is bald with blonde peach fuzz and very fine featured/boned :-) Yep, *definitely* not identical! Mary |
