Dream of twins or twins
Even when they are sleeping together, they first hear each other, they can not toss and turn, so there are no problems with shocks and awakenings. This allows up to 4 months to safely put them in one bed, and you can put in any position, T-shaped, jack, along or across. And that accidentally one another did not wake up with a pen, you can put a soft roller, the fact is that they floundered together in the stomach for 9 months and mixed each other, so they are also well together in the crib.
It is worth noting the advantages of a single crib:
- they can be lulled at the same time;
- next to his bed will comfortably accommodate one bed, but two are harder to put. At night, no matter who whimpered, it's easier to rock one cot than to listen to crying through sleep;
- if the apartment is small, then one bed is easier to place than two.
However, today it is possible to make a crib for twins at a later date, making a wall along it.
However, it is worth noting the disadvantages of this:
- At the wall, where there will be a cot, there must be enough space;
- if necessary, you do not separate the children;
- a little grown up, twins, who are accustomed to always be a long time, will not fall asleep, they will indulge, throw "plush" and talk, this can last a very long time.
Therefore, the most optimal option is to install nearby cribs, and in the space between them you can be for feeding or other business. In this case, the cribs should be positioned so that they can be approached by the side of the saliva. When the child sleeps at the wall, it reacts to the sound only on the one side and lies on one side, this sometimes leads to a curvature of the spine and distortion of the cranial bone.
How to Feed Twins
Most often it turns out that twins are fed by an artful diet, as a rule, this is 80% of the born twins. But the artificial feeding comes at will of the mother, or rather she thinks that the neene has enough milk for both and they are hungry. However, it is not difficult to determine the extent of milk for twins or it is necessary to switch to artificial feeding. Just follow the following signs:
- if children have less urine, this is seen when changing diapers you will notice that they are almost dry. You should know that the first 2-3 months the baby pee 8-10 times a day;
- also it will be noticeable by the amount of the chair, it will be very small;
- babies will wake up very often, maybe even every hour, while they cry and try to find a breast. In situations where a child is depressed due to malnutrition, he, on the contrary, can sleep for a long time and be calm for the cause of lethargy. In these cases, we need to do a check weighing;
- weighing will accurately show that the child receives a meal much less than what he needs for development.
In the event that the baby really does not have enough nutrition, it is necessary to restore the proper nutrition, increase the amount of food. This can be done in the following way:
- you need to feed the baby more often, increase the application by 1-2 times;
- at one feeding to give in turn both breasts;
- do not be lazy and feed your children at night;
- if there is a lot of milk after feeding, then it is necessary to express it;
- if there are problems with milk, then it is necessary to use a variety of infusions, homeopathic preparations, decoctions and teas for lactose production;
- it is necessary to lead a more active way of life, to walk on air or, on the contrary, there is a need for rest and sleep;
- Also it is necessary to carry children on hands though it and is complex or difficult vosluchae with two, but nevertheless, children should feel arms or hand of mum;
- limit yourself and your children in stress.
Often, in the case of twins, they help in raising a grandmother or a nanny, as a rule, they are engaged in a second baby, when the mother feeds the first. In this case, the second baby is best taken to another room, tk. he feels the feeding and is not getting very nervous. But in order to achieve unity in the dream and wakefulness of twins, one must learn to simultaneously feed both. In addition, having achieved such perfection, you will soon not need help and this is for your own good.
Today you can buy or make a pillow, with the help of which it is convenient to feed both, while you can not burden your back, and you will sit back on the sofa. This pillow is not only for feeding, it is possible to conduct all actions with the kids - to cut nails, to keep them during a doze, to clean the ears and so on.
When they grow up before the time of complementary feeding, then continue the simultaneous feeding, it is useful, and they stimulate each other, simply feed them one by one, spoon to that, spoon to another.
Carriages for twins
Carriages for twins are a great choice, it is important to know how to choose correctly. Note:
- width of the stroller and its length should match the dimensions of your apartment, access and apartment doors, if there is an elevator, be sure to measure your dimensions. Also it is necessary to take into account the place of its maintenance, a balcony or a tomb, in new houses there are wheelchairs. Measure the inner width of the stroller, the wives should be free to fit in winter clothes, if the children are large, then the strollers will last up to 4-6 months;
- the weight of the stroller is very important, especially in houses without an elevator and the last floors, because you have to raise it along with the twins on the stairs. If you are always with someone in the company, then it is better to buy two single strollers;
- you need to consider the presence of the car, because if the stroller often moves in the car, it must be a stroller transformer, it is also equipped with an autoarmchair. If you'll be the only one to dress children for a walk, then do this one by one, otherwise you'll be dressing the second one, the first one will sweat. The first dressed already in the overalls is better set on the balcony, and slowly dressing the second.
These are the recommendations that are worth keeping for the purchase of a proper and suitable stroller for twins.
Bathing twins
Up to two months, they need to be bathed alone, do this one by one and get the second half more often, because in the evening, the pope is like home. Having bought one, you can leave the second for your father, and go yourself to prepare him for bed and to work after bathing. But later, when they are already sitting, then for bathing get seats, they are put on the suckers in the suction cups and both are easy to get on.
In the case of twins, auxiliary literature and advice do not always work, more often on the contrary. It is very important for parents to learn to understand children and feel their need, so if the councils do not work, look at the behavior of the children, they will tell you exactly how you should treat them specifically towards them. Children are individual, and twins, moreover, should not grow them according to the book.
Twin and features of their development
Features can be from the very beginning - they can be born earlier, where-tones week 36 or 37. Even at normal birth their weight is less than usual children, and among themselves the weight differs. The double is very difficult to get used to living outside of the stomach, this can last a long and difficult year.
Perhaps some recommendations will help you:
- after birth, the first few days (week) will be very heavy, you need to give them a breast more often, ideally every hour, this will significantly increase lactation. Do not pay attention to a strong sleep of children, if they are crazy one of them is asleep, then you need to wake up and still feed, otherwise it may become weakness from malnutrition;
- do not let them fall asleep while feeding, awake them. You can tickle or remove the nipple from the mouth;
- a weak and underfed child can be fed with expressed milk, for this use a pipette, because after the bottle-bottle he does not want to take the breast, it's more difficult to eat from it;
- Sometimes grandmother's assistants offer to help in feeding the second with the help of a bottle, do not use such temporary help. For a couple of times the baby will get used to the nipple, and soon you will not be able to breast-feed;
- twins need constant walks, only so they will grow and grow faster;
- a cold illness of one is automatically a second illness. It's best to get a vaccination calendar and do it at the same time;
- you just need to get acquainted with the pediatrician and the neurologist, so that they come on call to the house, it will also be nice that the iostalic doctors can come home, up to the time of testing at home. Talk about the moderately paid service;
- it is very important to properly distribute the duties, so that the father and grandmother participate in the life of the kids so that the mother can do herself or the household;
- if the children do not weigh a lot, then they should often be applied to their body. It is useful to go to bed and apply one to the side, and the second on the belly somehow somehow. Children calm down, being nearby, therefore to carry on the house them one by one, to put in sling and to be engaged in all affairs, the kid at mum and in a comfort;
- in the case of twins, it is very difficult for one mother to manage, and the assistant in the form of a day care nurse would certainly not be in the way.
If babies were born before time, then they live and develop physically for some time, as if in the stomach. It is for this reason that it is not possible to treat them like children born usually and on time. Also, you do not need to be upset because of their poor development, they just have a little different, and the requirements for them should be softer. First there is a backlog in everything, but zatemoni are tightened intellectually and physically, and sometimes even ahead of their peers.
