Hi Everyone!

Like I said in my intro, I'm a new mom and I'm having twins. I'm 3 months along right now, but if anyone has some helpful tips for the pregnancy or for after they are born it would be much appreciated.
If people wouldn't mind putting up with silly questions that I have that would be nice to.

Thanks for listening to the rant!
*hugs to all*

Pretty much just basic parenting advice. I'm a first time mom so also having twins is a bit overwhelming LOL

I guess specific things would be like:
- Do I need 2 cribs right off the bat, or can I just keep them in one until their a certain age?
- Should I bottle AND breast feed them or just not bother breastfeeding?
- What do I do if one is sleeping but the other one won't??

I don't know.. LOL I guess I'm just really useless when it comes to stuff like this Haha...

Congradulations on the twins Iceis! A friend of mine has twins, and it really helps to have two parents, for starters. lol

There's a lot of mommy sites you can look at to prepare yourself.

As for breastfeeding and bottle feeding, BOTH would be a good choice.
Breast feeding is important for the first 1-3 months, and if you can do it longer than that'd be amazing. But don't overwork yourself, two bodies feeding off of yours is sure to cause exhaustion. bottlefeeding allows both to eat at the same time and will give you a break every day.
