Here comes the new Panda
Week6
Want to know how I sleep at night? This is my schedule how I breastfeed them every night.
(Say the boys are knocked off by 9pm (twin 1) and 10pm (twin 2).)
11pm - feed Twin 1
12am - feed Twin 2
1am - feed Twin 1
2am - feed Twin 2
3am - (good thing that Twin 1 forgot to wake up)
4am - feed Twin 1 and Twin 2! (kelam kabut positioning and latching them!)
6am - feed the one who wakes up first
7am - ready to wake up and prepare QQ for school
Can die ler? Initially I really cannot tahan not having a good continuous sleep but now it has become a norm for me. Sometimes really cannot wait for them to grow up, but at the same time, I wish this moment could last a little longer.
*quickly lie myself on my comfy new slipcovers after this posting*
Aiyoo…. like that ah, soon the eye bag also bigger than the eyes lor :S
Yeah lor, I also wanna cherish their baby moments but sometimes just can’t help but wish they grow up to toddler stage so it’s easier on us…
u must take care of ur health ok?
If my schedule like that, I’ll be a zombie, not panda leh.
If u don’t trust ur maid to prep QQ for schl, y not get hubby’s help? At least u can get some extra sleep. Take good care, twin mama!
Let’s hope they learn to sleep thru the nite.
whooiseh….if i am you, i pengsan earlier liao! You’re one tough cookie!
ahhhh…you sure are one tough mommy
hey, how is QiQi these days eh? You hardly blog abt her now 
early stage is like that lor….soon they will sleep longer…hang in there & take care too!
u just reminds me about this ‘nightmare’ le…!! Taking care a newborn babies really a tough job. Btw, u are a
tough mommy. Stay on… i salute u!!
u must be so so tired ybtul u got yr pm and am all mixed up.
Typo error *ybtul=until*…geesh i ought to get some sleep myself too.
aiyo…take care lo…
dont blog often…just get some rest in between..
btw, my idea..why not last feed use formula..then they become fuller and wont wake up that often. then u just express bm as and when “leak” and use them for the next day..??
aduh…only a very hardworking mom will do this! i never really endured such schedule during my time…..hahaha lazy mom i was!!
i would hv just pump all out during the day & just warm them for d night feed……
btw, why u call yr son “potato” lar ??? we also got “potato” at home but it was honoured for our dumb maid wan woh……for being such a “fan shue” at times, hehehe
I really admire your strength!
Hei, even tho I don’t have newborn or twins, my sleeping schedule not better than you ler….he,he….I still have little Isaac who still asking for nen nen….**bad habit**
ooh… almost same like my twins feeding time (0-3mths)… nite time feeding routine is killing us ya…
not easy to take care twin babies.. wonder how your frend cope with 3 babies!!!!
Haii……I read, think back and get cold sweat already. What to say being in your position now. TABIK!!!!
Hi..this is sleepless in KL…haha..I saw one documentary where this lady got sextuplet..she just left all the babies sleep in another room and she will only be ready for them by 8am..She said she must get sleep !!!..It’s amazing how she can do it…Maybe she just sound proved the room..:)
Wow…if me sure become zombie or even k.o already
oh, I feed milk to one baby during midnight also pengsan, now you need to fee two. wow, not an easy task !!!
Wow…you actually succeed in breastfeeding both of them! You must be really happy eh? Can understand what you mean by wishing them to grow up fast sometimes…and the other way also
I had very little sleep in the 1st year too and adopted the lying down position after I had to start driving to work. Dangerous ma…
Wish I knew what to suggest for twins. Hopefully, other twin bfg mama can help here ok?
take care of yourself, you might get sick out of exhaustion one day. Take catnaps, that would help
you are a great mom, Chin Nee. Keep up the good work! hope the feeding schedule will be apart longer as they grow up.
oh..really can die la..i remember the last time i also had to wake up every 30 minutes or every hour to feed Eli, that’s terrible and my tantrum was very bad due to lacked of sleep..you’re a great mother indeed, kampateh…
During weekends you must ask hubby to help out more during the day or whenever so you can get some important zzzzzzzzzzz apart from the feeding part of course.
respect! i know it’s tough with a new baby but with two! my hats off to you - now we moms with a newborn shouldn’t complain so much after hearing what you’re going thru.
it’s nice to hear that you’re already used to it and and don’t mind this at all. i bet u will look back one day and wonder how in the earth did u manage!
well done to you!
huh tiring work. Wondering if you can bottle feed them at mightnite. Take care!!
I really admire your stamina & patience. I rem I din sleep well during my first pregnancy. You are awesome
so exhausted still got mood to joke. hee hee.that is good news. love your title “here comes the new panda” ha ha
true, leh. When a new baby arrive, it’s broken sleep all the way till they learn to comfort themself to sleep and till they wean themselves from night feeding. For you, more exhausting, 2 babies, poor you. take care, okay?
sound very tiring ya.. Hopefully, they can sleep thru the night soon and you will not be so tired… take good care of yourself. Blog less and sleep more… ;p
super mommy!!!!
Poor dear…I can feel your exhaustion just reading your post. Take a rest whenever you can, okay?
Aiyuh…then u r like 24 hrs human milk supply machine
already lar?!? However, is good to provide them
breastmilk off cause….then….u should request a
overseas trip from ur husband when ur twins boy
grow older lar as a reward for urself mah! I wonder
whether I should wish for a twins girl or not after
hearing all ur tired stories…..scared!
I can imagine the stress and lack of sleep! Your Baby Zhen looks like you eh? Esp his lips. Eh, change to 12am, 1am, etc. Not pm. Haaa… that shows you really lack sleep, hehe…
double happiness = double tiredness. haha, shireen….obviously I am really blur la…
Oh………poor you…….take care and big hugs!!!!
