advice for twin moms (for now)
Some random thoughts to future new (twin) moms:
- Get a copy of the DVD “Happiest Baby on the Block”, if your baby has colic.. this will save your life. It has become my official “shower gift” from now on.
- Get a couple of good swaddlers. We are using the Miracle Blanket which is perfect for our 10 lber who needs to be swaddled to sleep well.
- If you don’t have a family member or good friend to stay with you at least 15 hours a week during the first 3 months then find a way to afford to hire a high school or college student. Two infants is tough while you are recovering from changing horomones, especially if you want to enjoy your time with them and not be caught up in the crying (yours or theirs) and guilt. Ironically we finally hired someone and it’s already gotten easier!

Great advice! That Miracle Blanket was a blessing for my colicy-needed-to-be-swaddled-to-sleep kid. And, if I had it to do over again, I’d take a second mortgage out on my house to pay for help. You are a wise woman.
