Slightly Freaking Out!

Oh, and never make the mistake of matching jammies! You can't remember who was fed in the middle of the night. We also made the mistake of not having a set crib once they slept apart, and it was very confusing at 3 am.

So true!!
A nurse told me to get a notebook and write down every time each twin ate and also what time I took my pain meds... I had rubber bracelets that I would switch from wrist to wrist so I could remember who ate on what side last, but that didn't work because I forgot to switch the bracelets! I later put the feeding lists in their scrapbooks.

Honestly, you won't remember anything from the first 6 months, at least I don't! And don't feel bad about it!

Some of the best advice I got from another mom of twins (hers were teens) was this...
"It doesn't get easier, it just gets different." At the time I didn't appreciate it but there are many times I have thought it was SOOOO true!

I do not have twins but my fave thing ever with my last child was the Itzbeen timer. With the touch of a button, it would set the timer from the last feeding, diaper change, nap and a "bonus" timer as well as a little thing at the bottom to mark last side nursed on (for nursing moms). There was also a little light that went on for the night time. Great invention
