This “10 Things People Do Not Know About Twins” list came from two parents of newborn twins and this is their take of what it’s REALLY like. Check it out…
- It takes a village (parenting twins with two parents is near impossible)
- Non-Identical twins are two separate humans born at the same time
- Identical twins have to at least be the same sex (you would be surprised how many people ask us this)
- You cannot safely hold and console two crying babies. What is one to do?
- Leaving your newborn twins with your spouse for 24 hours is like a sentence to hell for them. See above.
- Singleton parents have no idea, logistically everything is different
- Singleton breastfeeding plans DO NOT APPLY, do what works for your sanity
- Feeding, burping, changing twins alone is a lesson in fortitude and misdirection
- Sleep… Forget about it –
- In the beginning someone is always crying, them or us
