Pregnant with twins and have lots of questions

[marika76]

I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with twin boys, these are our first children so hubby and I are thrilled.. I was just wondering if we should get two cribs or one? Do we really need two of everything? Of course, there are SOME things that we know we need two of but the crib is our biggest concern??? What about breastfeeding?? Does anyone breastfeed their twins??? I have lots of questions... Any info. is welcome. Thanks, Marika

Marika!

Sweetheart, come join us on "Double Trouble"!!! There are tons of new mommies right now to ask and they are all as sweet as the day is long. Congrats on twins!!! You are only a few weeks behind me so we will be able to relate to each other well.

I am buying two cribs but plan on co-sleeping for the first few months. My friends with older twins and triplets have said if you don't seperate them around the time they roll over, they entertain one another instead of sleep. I'm sure it will depend on your babies but they will most likely need their own crib sooner than later.

Also, I plan on breastfeeding so I have signed up for a "Breastfeeding Multiples" class at the hospital. Hopefully it will be very helpful. Other than that, I am trying to only have one swing, bouncy chair, and so forth since they can do different things at the same time. I am getting two high chairs but other than that and car seats I am trying to condense.

Come join us and ask the new moms. They are such a wealth of info right now!

take care~
