The First Year with Twins: A to Z

Hi Everyone!

Every M, W, and F, we will post a new thread with a different letter of the alphabet. In those threads, please post your favorite tips/advice, beginning with that letter, pertaining to the FY with twins! No repeats please, and be creative! You may post as many replies as you like in each thread.

We will be archiving these threads in the Parenting Twins Information section of the Twin Wiki! [Wiki]The_First_Year_With_Twins:_A_to_Z[/Wiki]

This is the thread for the letter F.

Forget about the housework in the beginning, and take every opportunity to get some rest!

 

Feeding two babies at once requires lots of patience.

Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo is a must have item for your twins.

 

Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chairs are great for twins! They get strapped into your dining table chairs and save a ton of space. They also have a booster seat component. They are a TS mom favorite!

 

FREEZER stash!!

Breast milk and of premade dinners! When you cook a meal make enoug for 2 whole meals...then one night you only have to reheat!

 

First smiles are the best. Be sure to have your camera ready to go!!

 

Fill up your diaper bag when going out so you are prepared for anything and everything!
Focusing on the smiles and giggles makes the crying parts a bit easier.

 

Forget the mistakes you make. Focus on doing better next time.

 

Find time to rest - even if it's just 5 minutes

 

Feeding two at the same time is easier w/ the Podee bottles.

 

Family time is important. Once you get past those first crazy months, try to find some fun things to do as a family.

 

Fisher-Price Healty Care Booster Seat's are an awesome alternative to a full sized high chair!

Follow your motherly instincts, they are there for a reason

Free up a night once a week if you can, to go on a date with your hubby. It's important to have time alone with your spouse even if it's sitting at home talking or watching a movie together after the little one's go to sleep.

 

For every sleepless night that happens, there will be smiles, hugs, and giggles to make up for it - some day!

 

Feed YOURSELF! Don't forget that you need nutrition to function! :hug99:
