Hello!
I am a first time pregnant with twins and, at 13+1, I am now beginning to believe it (not entirely!).
I am a bit of a control freak and need to know how to get organized with twins, I have so many questions. We'll probably enroll in a twin antenatal class and hope they'll give us advice.
In the meantime, perhaps some mum of twins will be able to shed some light for me on:
- sleeping arrangements. We haven't got much space in our bedroom for two cots. Is it reasonable thinking they can share one for the first few months? I was thinking to buy two and keep the second one in the box until they are ready to move to their bedroom. And how old are they when they can be moved in two cots in another bedroom?
- feeding. I want to breastfeed but we have no help at all, therefore my OH was thinking of doing a mix of bottle and breast, so that he can help/take turns. Is it doable or once they are used to the breast they will not take the bottle/other way round?
- travelling. What do you need in the first few months for walks/shops? We find the idea of keeping them in their car seats very practical (vs having car seats + pram). We would not have to move the babies when getting in/out the car and the 'pushchair structure' would fit in the boot. But is it the correct way? If you opted for the flat pram, does it fit in the boot?
