The only time parents get rest is when their babies are sleeping, most of them do their household chores, have their food, buy groceries, and get some sleep.

DO’S

Maintain Same Schedule

Managing twins might feel double the trouble. Using nursing pillows is even easier, using this pillow lets you feed both babies at the same time and makes the work easy.

Enjoy The Journey

Parenting is a beautiful process that is done with pure love and patience, enjoying each and everything done for the babies and doing everything in love. Never take anything as a punishment or task, do everything with a happy smiling face rather than a frowning face. The new born babies twins will soon grow up and you will miss this phase badly. Parenting is enjoyed by looking at the baby’s smile and responding to their smile, always having a ‘go-to strategies’ list! Take turns with your partner. The first six to eight weeks are the hardest part of parenting, the rest parents get along with the babies.

Curate Bedtime Rituals

Before putting the twin newborns to sleep, give them a warm bath and change their diapers, then give them some massage, feed them milk if needed, then put on their night pj’s or swaddle them. Put the babies in their crib and turn off the light or keep the room dim, and make them sleep.

Alternative Holding Time For Babies

Carrying both babies at the same time is a difficult job and can be tough with two babies crying, so instead use double strollers or carriers to carry babies at the same time. Getting help is not wrong at all. Get help from your partner to carry the babies. Tie one baby in front and the other in the back, doing it for the first time seems scary but when you are used to it, that makes your work easy. But this method is advisable for a 6-7-month-old baby.

Don’t Step Out Alone
