Art of parenting twin babies
It is difficult enough to put ONE baby to sleep, what’s more TWO.
One of my biggest challenge of having twin, is to put them to sleep. Since they were born, at least one of them have to cry himself to sleep (not wanting Kakak) while I put the other to sleep first. They have been able recognise who is mummy and will not tolerate being carried just by anyone, including the maid who has been with them ever since they are born.
Very naughty right these 2 boys with 2 swirls on their head? Not that I can just breastfeed or hug them to sleep at one time. Sometimes one need to be cradle or pat while I have to jump here and there like a mad woman. And when they get bigger, at least this is what I can do….
Obviously I am more comfortable than the mattress!
Putting and patting one on me while breastfeeding the other. Although I must say that chances putting 2 to sleep together rarely happens and only at times when both is not cranky. Otherwise the difficult one will have to go out from the room, yelling on top of his lung until he knocks off while I put another easier twin to sleep first (so that I can quickly take over the other one). psst…psst…time to hint hubby to take me onto one of the Caribbean cruises after all I have done for his kids.
See poor QQ at the side rubbing her eyes? I think she must over neglected since the boys were born until she keep on doing things that makes our blood boil, hoping to get our attention but instead making us wanting to spank her all the time.
Aiyoo… :S Can’t they be put to sleep at different times. And I certainly know what you mean by neglecting the older child. Ivan luckily is very independent… able to help me sometime… and he seldom ever complain that he doesn’t get to sleep next to me very often anymore :S
i thought the post was very loving until the last part. Aiyoh, kesian QQ. Next time when you want to spank her, take a deep breath and count from 1 to 10. If it did not help, count from 10 to 1. And did not help again, let me know. I teach you step 2. hehe
Ya understand ur situation if all kids having the same sleeping time. It happened to me before but now slightly better, as Hao has later sleeping time now. I suppose if will be better later as their sleeping pattern will change as they grow.
bravo to you Chin Nee….anyway you will remember this moment forever…
not easy to handle all kids at one time ya ….. ??
i also wory i will neglected my boy once the baby is born … sometime i ask myself, how to divide my time and love ??? hahahha ….. time will tell.
But this photos is loving …..
I think slowly they will be able to go to sleep on their own.
But look at both of them.. just like glue to your body.
Btw, do you have 1 on 1 time with Qiqi, just so she doesn’t feel neglected?
Bravo….you are a strong women. Like that also can sleep and b/feed at the same time. Btw, dun spank QQ too much….that will made her feel bad. Take a deep breath……..cool down!
I cannot imagine myself with twins!! Tu lah I, konon2 dulu nak twins..now I know why I’m not given twins..because I dont think I can handle them hee hee..as it is I’m very kelam kabut now..imagine having TWO babies to put to sleep/nurse at the same time…? Strong mommy lah u.
Kesian QiQi..but what to do dear..hopefully she’ll understand soon. Same here lah, Armand was only 15mo when Zuleyka was born..he’s the gila2 active type so we thought that the arrival of a younger sibiling would mellow him down (like Amsyar, he was 2yo when Izzo arrived..Amsyar mellowed down instantly). But NO, he became more active and brutal than ever. Yup makes me want to spank him every time too! Now still like that..hope & pray that the “terrible two’s” phase passes really soon
Only one word, SUPERMOM! Qiqi must feel neglected coz she was the centre of attraction last time … Poor girl!
Yeap do spend quality time with QiQi as well. Tough to be the elder one.
agreed to others, kesian qiqi…..
my kwkx sometimes with fight wanted to sleep next to me. to satisfy them, kx got to sleep on top of me, just like your photo. hahhaa
i think its normal wen younger one came the eleder will b neglected wat more u have 2 to attend to
No worry Im sure they will sleep by their own when they grow older. I can see QQ sleeping at the side alone leh
definitely not easy esp if u r breastfeeding both of them. poor QQ. eh u still have one more hand ma, can just hold QQ’s hand and let her sleep. like u know, to assure her u r there for her and have not forgotten her..
sigh…i feel so bad seeing that picture……wish I would have more time for her
WAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
my Yang till now still want mummy to co-sleep with him. Chinnee, always find a time to talk with her. I always do it. Now, she is understand that i am going to be very busy with another baby again. But off cause still have to find some private time for her. Girl will be much more understanding compare to boy.
Aiyoh!!! You really are a super Mom X2 lah!! I really take my hats off for you.. You are doing the best that you can so please don’t feel bad k.
Bravo Mummy! You can do it! *clap hands*
Twins - nice to c, nice to hold, nice to play with. But really tough to take care of yeah.
not easy to be a mum. moreover a mom to twins with 2 swirls
