Am I the only one on the site with multiples?:drop: Can't be possible!
Come say "Hi" if you've got them too.

Nice to hear from you! Congrats on all 3.

I forgot there is a multiples forum here. I have 8 week old twin girls, 1 almost 5 yo girl, a boy that will be 3 in April, a 7 yo boy, and a 10 yo boy.

Do the seasoned parents of twins have any great advice?

OMG!!!! How on earth?? Sometimes my 2 make me crazy. But in a good way. I want more kids but the husband doesn't. He didn't want kids in the 1st place. I tell him it's his karma!
Will need to keep in touch w/you for tips!!! Congrats on the twins! Identical?
The only great advice I can give is have help. I had none and it almost sent me over the edge. There were other circumstances too but if DH can't be there for you get anyone you can. If you have questions mine are only 4 so I can still remember some things! LOL
Best wishes JoAnn

I have identical twin girls who will be 7 in June. I wish I could go back and experience it all again.I feel so lucky and grateful.I also have a 16yr old and a 2.5 yr old.

wow! you've got a lot on your plate! :)

YUP!! I need a platter!

B/G tiwns here!!! They just turned 2 1/2yrs! + 3 older brothers.

Hi! I have boy girl tiwns as well. They are 5 weeks old. Anyone have advice on tandem nursing? My little girl pulls on and off so many times when we nurse and then gets really really mad when she does.

Also I think they may have an dairy allergy. When would they be behaving like if they do? Any thoughts?

Congrats, congrats!

Yes the pulling off can be a sign of dairy issues. There are some good tandem nursing pictures at Karen Kerkhoff Gromada (http://www.karengromada.com/karengromada/index.htm)

Click on photos. I would also highly recommend her book Mothering Multiples. She is a LLL Leader & Lact. Consult so has a ton of info in her book, plus lots of other multiple info.

She has an amazing e-group if you are interested. It is attachment parenting multiples and there are many breastfeeding moms as well. Lots of posts on breastfeeding & tandem nursing. The archives could provide lots of info.

I have been with the group since I found I was pregnant with the twins and still am at the group.

Karen Kerkhoff Gromada is the moderator & if things get dicey will even do lots of private e-mailing as well. She is awesome!!

Several of the photos are me with my twins!!

thanks! I just registered.

GREAT!!

I have b/g twins they are 7 months old and a two year old girl. Twins are Ty Walker and the girl is Ryne Addison and my two year old is Shelby Blake !!!! Im 42 and started over. I also have a 21 year old girl Blaze Nikole- a senior at Hardy University, and a 15 year old girl Taylor Nikole - a ninth grader. Wow i still cant believe it- but im loving each and every minute of it!!!!

I'm 42 too, but my youngest is 4 and I am a grandma!

I have 3 year old twins. There are quite a few of us here who do!

i have 16 month old boy/girl twins Evie and Jackson and a 9 yr old daughter Harley and an 11 yr old daughter Mikayla :) Mine were 10 weeks premature and were 3 1/2 lbs each, but you would never know it by lookin at em now! They are healthy and wooo very tough lol.

welcome to Amitys :)

im far from being a seasoned twin mom but the only thing that got me through the really hard parts of the first year was telling myself it gets easier. i was extremely overwhelmed and had bad PPD after i had the twins, i was not at all prepared for mothering twins. So that helped. Also having someone HELP as much as possible. Especially having other children to care for. It was hell keeping up with meals & cleaning while caring for the twins. So it would have been really helpful if someone had come over and cleaned for me or brought meals over.

I have twins, my oldest two, girls, 14. Plus a few more as well :)

Brand new here-I have 6yr girl, 4 yr boy and twin girls-almost 3.

Mama24, when do your twins turn 3? Mine do in the beginning of Sept.

Well I am mama to two sets of twins now!! A couple of weeks ago we began to foster a set of 2 year old twin boys. They are so much fun!! So now we are a household of 15 people!!
