I am looking for a wagon or stroller that is able to accommodate 2 toddlers and an infant.

My twins will be 18mo when I give birth to their sibling and I haven’t found a wagon that accommodates an infant plus two toddlers. Is this because one doesn’t exist?

My twins are fairly big and I would love for them to have enough space and also the baby to be comfortable as well.

I current have the mockingbird twin stroller which I absolutely love and I guess I can continue using that while baby wearing but that seems like a lot. Any advice is greatly appreciated 😁

My 1yr old twins are refusing second nap. You all helped me creating a sleep schedule for them a few months ago and it worked beautifully until it didn’t. Everything I read states that babies are not developmentally ready to drop down to one nap…

Their schedules were
Wake:7 and milk
Bfast:8/8:30
Nap1: 10:30-12
Play/activities/lunch:12-3:30
Nap2: 3:30-5ish
Dinner/play/bath
Bed: 8:30-9

That schedule was amazing. It gave me the freedom to do things around the house and have some time to myself.

Now the twins are refusing their second nap even though their eyes are red and they are visibly tired. I have tried adjusting the second nap up and back with no luck. The first nap hasn’t lengthened any at all either. I could understand if they exhausted all of their nap allowance the first nap but that is not the case. They are still averaging about an hour and a half on their first nap and they have been waking up from first nap crying.

Hubby and I have started putting the boys to bed earlier- like 7:15/7:30 and the twins are waking up hourly and my Twin A has been waking up around 9:30pm and not going back to bed on their own. They wake up at 6am or so and they babble and talk in their crib for about an hour before we go and get them.

I will take any advice please 🫪😬

We are going on our first vacation with the twins this weekend. They are almost 1 yr and I was wondering what yall use for diaper collection on vacation?

We will be there for a week and sharing a house with family so I want to be considerate of everyone’s noses hehe.

Any other advice for vacationing with almost 1yr old twins is also welcomed!

Hi! I am looking for reasonably priced skincare products that are safe for to use while pregnant. I am in my first trimester and my skin is looking rough..literally.

The texture is out of control and I need to get a handle on things to help with my self confidence 🥲

I am also open to suggestions for skincare routine. Relatively easy/quick routines would be best. TIA!

A few weeks ago, I made a post about my twins who would not sleep through the night. I got good advice from folks who suggested that I kept their daytime nap at 2 1/2 hours max. There was a little bit of an adjustment after implementing this. But after the second day of capping their nap at 2 1/2 hours, the twins slept through the night for two nights

My husband and I were elated, although I thought it was too good to be true. The twin sleeping through the night was very short-lived and they are now waking up multiple times a night again I’m a first time parent so I’m not too sure about what to do in this situation. I would love to hear any insight anyone has.

Do you think I should cut their daytime nap down to two hours a day? I am having to wake them up from their naps and they stay fairly tired afterwards so I don’t know if this means I need to let them sleep longer or cut their naps.

Wake 6-7 (they will sometimes wake up at six or sometimes sleep in until seven so this varies)

Nap1 at 10:30-12

Nap 2 3:30-4:30 (this second nap is usually pushed back from 4 to 5 because the twins just won’t go down at 3:30 most days)

Sleep 8:30 or 9 depending on when their second nap started.

My 11mo twins. No designated wake time but they are average around two naps a day for a total of 3-4 hours combined.

Our babies have never slept through the night and it has been a grueling 11mo on me and husband. The boys have CMPA I guess it’s fairly severe bc they’re on Amino Acid formals and that has definitely helped with the discomfort that we originally thought was preventing the twins from sleeping through the night. They are VERY good eaters. I make all their food from scratch to ensure no milk products are used. They still wake up very frequently and it is exhausting. Now that they are on special formula we really want to get them sleep trained for the sake of our sanity.

They are able to put themselves to sleep. Every night we do the same routine which leaves them in their own crib (in the same room) awake with the sound machine. It takes anywhere from 2-20 mins for them to go to sleep on their own. They go down around 8-8:30 depending on how tired they are. They typically have their first wake around 12am and then the wake ups are frequent sometimes almost every hour.

The babies sleep with a pacifier and a lovey but we remove the lovey when we go to bed. An older lady whom I met at the grocery store claims that if you wean them off pacifiers using a bottle of water on the crib as a replacement then the babies will start sleeping better. Has anyone tried this?

Has anyone else been in our situation and can offer some advice. We are desperate 😭

I am 10mo postpartum from my twin pregnancy which resulted in two perfect babies.
It also results in a large overhang of my belly. I am a former collegiate athlete (soccer) and have bet fit pretty much my whole life. I am on the thicker side I have also been very muscular. Before pregnancy I was around 170lbs 5’8” and people were always telling me I don’t look as heavy as 170 (I guess that’s a compliment). I wanted to workout during my twin pregnancy but the level of exhaustion and working everyday wasn’t a good mix.

Well fast forward to today. I am currently 7w pregnant again… No this wasn’t planned at all. It was a NFP fail and we’re just rolling with the punches.

With that being said I REALLY want to workout this pregnancy bc I’m honestly scared of what my body will look like after this pregnancy if I don’t. I haven’t gotten an ultrasound yet so we don’t know if it’s multiples again or a singleton.

I live in a rural area and the closest gym with daycare is about 30min away. My goal is to go 3x week to get me working out and also get the babies out of the house. Do you think that’s possible. Should I just say eff it and wait to go ham in the gym after baby comes?

Can you guess what the results were?

We are not in the place to have another child and we are already struggling as is. I was using natural family planning for religious reasons and as a means to try to avoid pregnancy. I took three tests all positive.

I am feeling sick to my stomach with uncertainty. Me and my husband aren’t on the best of terms and we have already outgrown the house we have now.

Does anyone have any encouraging words or advice maybe even anecdotal evidence/ advice to help me through this time.

I just found out an hour ago and haven’t told my husband.

I’m sick. Not like under the weather but sick to my stomach with uncertainty.

Twins are 10mo and I was using the Marquette method testing LH levels. I thought I was doing fine with the tracking. I got my period back only weeks after having the twins. I took mult pregnancy and LH tests. All tests are positive even the LH so Plz tell me this could be false positive. We are a not in a place for another child although a miracle and a gift from God. We’re just not in a place to receive that gift just yet.
