I had two babies a year apart. AMA

[Twounder13]

Less than thirteen months between my two. Currently six months in. Ask me anything

Weekly woo

Go for it. I love these questions.

I used to bath my one year old and two year old first and together in the bath. And take my newborn witj me but bathe him in the baby bath in the living room.

As soon as he was a bit robust theyd all go in together.

Next question....!!!

If you had twins or triplets you'd just get on with it right ?

I had three in three years don’t ask me anything as I can’t remember as it’s all a blur (but a nice one )

Im due dc3 at the start of September. I will have 3 under 3 and my youngest two will be 12 months apart. I am terrified tbh!

Do you have any help from family?
Any pieces of kit that have proved to be a lifesaver?
And finally - i feel so guilty re my current youngest that she wont get to be my baby anymore - did you feel like that?

Invest in a good double pushchair. Finances were tough for us so we got the cosato double which was rubbish. I wish I had gone for the little nipper double.

Also can relate regina everything is a blur!! Sorry to hijack your thread op x

My DC2, 13 months after DC1, turned out to be twins!!

Yeah. The Graco double buggy was great. A cheap side by side umbrella one for the car.

Feed everyone on the floor. The table stays clean.

Main meal during the day. Plate up a portion for you and your partner to reheat later.

Snack of toast or weetabix at night.

Get to supermarket cafe. Feed them a sandwich wandering around the shop. Buy Pim bears and raisins each for babies and yourself a coffee. Cheap day out.

I'd sometimes give mine lasagne at 11am so I'd done feeding them. Then 2 smaller snacks. Sounds mad but if you've been up since 5 not really.

If when everyone wakes through the night get up. Put the tele on. Have a cup of tea and let them play for 90 minutes. Then put them back to bed. They accept this more easily.

Newborn hardly bathed at all.

I do main meal at 4pm and porridge at around 6

Mine are 10 and 11 now and its a brilliant age gap. I just wouldnt wish those first few years on anybody. Theyre a blur now

Great tips thank you so much. Meal times will be the tricky one and keeping on top of cooking for them as im not a great cook tbh and quite nervous in the kitchen..

it sounds like im right to be scared...but hopefully they will all one day get on and be great friends.

@littlepooch I've found it far far easier than I thought it would be. Just try to stress about nothing
