The First Year with Twins

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 T.

Twin Mommies are AWESOME! No matter what is going on, or what you may think, or what anyone might say, being a mom of twins is awesome! It's a lot of work some days, but also a lot of fun!

 

Traveling with twins is doable! Make sure to prepare ahead of time for the trip. Sometimes it's better to overprepare than underprepare.

 

Take time for yourself. It will make you feel better!!

 

Teething tablets, Tylenol, teething rings, frozen washclothes are some things that help a teething baby. Alcohol helps parents of teething babies

 

Talk to your babies even if you are doing the most boring thing, still narrate what you are doing to them. ("Mommy is folding laundry! We put the towels with the towels, the bibs with the bibs.." etc etc etc).

 

Trouble.. no NOT your babies but all those on-lookers and In-laws. The babies are the easy part.

 

Two times the laughs, the giggles, the smiles, the chubby thighs, bums, cheeks and yes, even the cries! But double the laughs makes it all worth while!

 

Twin Tantrums can be the worst. Give your self permission to step out of the room for a breather if needed.
