Hi-
Im new to the group and I have a few questions for those of you with multiples...you are going to think I'm crazy..but I have a 3 1/2 month old son, and in a few weeks will be doing child care for 7 week old twins, so in the long run it will be like having triplets......can anyone give me some advice?? I have worked in a daycare, but I think this will be different as it will be in their home...any advice will be appreciated..and please dont think Im crazy that Im doing this

THanks

I have 3 months old twins (today) and let me say they are more than a handful enough, if anyone wanted me to take on 1 more infant I don't think I could manage for a day, more power to you Mama! You will have your hands full. My advice? I triple stroller and lots of walks!

I have a boy/girl set of twins. They are 16 months old now and I love the experience, but having 3 babies would be a bit tougher! I have babysat a 6 month old that had to be held all the time because she was crying for her momma, and my twins were so jealous and wanted to be held too. They ganged up on her and were trying to push her off my lap. It was stressfull at the moment, but funny to look back on it now.

Recomendations: Have baby swings, tripple stroller, snacks, and other ways to entertain!

Good luck,
