Hi bit late to the party but just wanted to say my twins are about the same age and I’m finding it tough too! My one twin is I’m sure going through the 4 month sleep regression and the other a growth spurt, simultaneously. It’s such a tricky age isn’t it? Mine are so alert now and are awake for much longer in the day requiring constant entertaining or moving from one position to another. I’ve been assured it gets easier as 6 months when they can do more for themselves.
I keep thinking how much easier it would be with a singleton and how I would be able to do so much more with them/be able to give them more of my time. Though I wouldn’t change them for the world. I find it really isolating as well as I can’t drive and just leaving the house is so much more of a mission - I’m scared to go far from the house on my own.
Sorry this isn’t a very reassuring post but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. It will get better when they can sit up, hold toys, eat snacks etc. Also, it may not feel like it now but I think there are going to be many magical moments ahead that are just for us twin mummas. I think when I start to see my boys interact (acknowledge each other even) things will start to get a lot more interesting.
Hope that helps! I’m sure you are doing a fantastic job, all twin mums are bloody superheroes 💪 xxx
It's the hardest thing I've ever ever done. My twins are 2 now and I honestly barely remember the very early days, I think I blocked it due to PTSD lol!! Of course I jest, they are fabulous fun now and play together so so well (most of the time)
My girls turned 1 just as we went into our first lockdown, but in all honesty before that I barely attended any play groups. The only twin play group was an hours drive away and it was such a faff. I attended a few groups locally but I just got stared at, no help was forthcoming at all so I just went to my local park for a walk. Whilst they're still BF or on formula it does feel massively daunting to go out and make sure you have got everything.
It does get a little easier, they are no easier to look after but you get into your groove a bit better and you get to know each other a bit more and feel more confident to do new things. Twins are fabulous and we are truly blessed. When some idiot says "double trouble" I always reply with "double the love"
