Now you have to listen to the cries of both at the same time and feed them. With all this hit-or-miss situation, you can make things smooth by following some of the tips that might make your life a little easy!
Set a Routine of your Twins!
Well, this would be a little hard for you to schedule the twin, and you might not be a scheduler in past, but you have to be! God gifts you with two, and you are now a mother of two, and it is pretty hard to feed both at the same time.
In the first three months, the infant feed after every 3 hours. See when your little ones wake up and from that time feed them after every 3ish hour. If they are not waking up at the feeding time, break the rule, and wake up to feed them. This would take some time, but you will learn it very soon.
Be a Multitasker
With twins, you have to be a multitasker. You have to manage the households one-handed, as there is one baby in the other arm all of the time. It is important to work on one-handed dishwashing, laundry, and cooking skills as you have no choice.
Prepare yourself when your Babies are sleeping!
The best time to prepare for them is when they are sleeping. Don’t waste a minute or two as you know you cannot do anything for them when they woke up and start crying together. Their sleep time is power time. Quickly get some stuff done before they woke up. Wash their bottles, prepare stuff for their bathing, take shower, make some snacks, and refill supplies. You have to make yourself ready for them, so be prepare and save yourself.
Be Organized
When you are with twins it is really important to keep yourself organized. It doesn’t mean you have to label the drawers and select the color-coded dresses. Make sure diapers, clothes, bathing stuff, feeding stuff, and toys are at their place. You must know where the things are; if your baby cries, rush to the closet, get the things and run your way!
