Advice for coping with a 14 month old and newborn twins

[Tudor0403]

I have a 6 month old and just found out I am 6 weeks pregnant with twins. I feel so overwhelmed and worried about day to day life with a 14 month old and newborn twins. Any tips and advice on how to manage nap times, essential items to keep them all entertained or even podcasts to help me relax and embrace any positive side to this would be greatly recieved! My partner is hands on and very excited although when he is at work and I am alone I dont have a lot of support... help!!

Congratulations! I don't have any advice yet as my twins are due in 7 weeks, but you're not alone! I have a 2.5 year old. I have found there to be lots of good advice and help out there. Your 6month old will be very different at 14 months.

That said, I am basically unable to look after my child at the moment for more than a few mins, I just get tired very quickly and she is way faster than me! Making use of childcare for them might be worthwhile both during pregnancy and after twins arrive.

Everyone says to feed twins together, whichever way you decide (bottle, bf, combi) to get them on the same schedule so you don't spend 24 hours a day feeding!!

Wow congratulations @Tudor0403! I bet that’s a bit of a shock.
