The twins always make everyone enjoy watching because of their lovely resemblance. But only parents of babies understand how much patience and strength taking care of twins is required.
Different times of eating and sleeping
You have probably heard a lot about lack of sleep because of taking care of the babies of new mothers. Then prepare yourself for the days of insomnia if you are about to have two twins because it is likely that the children will have different eating and sleeping times. Imagine, if mothers with only one baby can take advantage of time to rest while their babies sleep, twins still have to "struggle" with the other baby.
The solution for you is to practice activities with the same schedule, the most important is to eat and sleep at the same time. When one baby wants to breastfeed, the mother should wake the other baby up to breastfeed and when it is time to sleep, soothe the two of them to sleep. Of course it will be difficult, but the babies will learn to adapt gradually and then the mother no longer has to "spin like a pinwheel". Twins often like to hug or touch each other and this can make it easier for them to fall asleep, so it's a good idea to let them sleep together in a crib.
Taking care of twins requires a lot of effort and patience
Breastfeeding at
the same time Initially, it will be difficult for two babies to breastfeed, especially for those who are first-time mothers who have not had breastfeeding experience. However, if the mother knows how to apply some suitable postures, with the help of pillows designed for twins, it is entirely possible for her to breastfeed at the same time. This way, it won't take you twice as long as it takes to breastfeed one after another. Besides, like other breastfeeding sisters, you can pump the milk out of the bottle and ask your husband or family member to breastfeed the baby so that the mother has more time to rest. Don't forget to include the date of milking on the bottle or bag to control the expiration date.
Taking the baby on a trip
Parents who have small children must also be prepared to face the uncomfortable gazes of others on planes, trains or other means of transport when babies are fussy. . And you have two, not one "loudspeaker" anymore, really not going to be easy at all. The fact that babies obediently keep quiet throughout the trip seems paranoid and the longer the travel time, the greater the pressure that parents must bear. Therefore, prepare carefully and carefully before each trip in the hope that everything will be fine.
Changing diapers for babies
You will need someone in the house and close to the babies, such as a grandmother or babysitter to help look after one baby while you change diapers for the other. Babies are mostly clingy to their mothers so babies won't like the fact that mothers take their eyes off them even for a few minutes. Changing your sister's diaper while hearing your brother's screams is a horrifying sight you never want to face, it will be easy to get mad! The tip for you is to always have everything ready at the diaper changing table or in the diaper bag to make sure you change your baby's diaper as quickly as possible.
