With each passing week I am finding being a twin mum easier and easier. Without doubt there are times when things can get frustrating and bring you to tears- but life is not perfect is it ! Despite what you may see and hear on social media and others family pictures!
Anyway I thought i'd pop up our daily routine as it is as 6 months ...
7-7.30am Twins wakeup. I go downstairs & make up fresh bottles, make their porridge for breakfast, make a cup of tea or coffee for myself, empty and refill our milton tank, put the highchairs out
08.00am change nappies & babies get brought downstairs in their PJs for breakfast
08.30 play time on their play mat/play gym/tummy time
09.00 feed full bottles, usually 180ml, and change nappies again
09.30 upstairs for morning nap , usually lasts 2 hrs
Then I can shower/have my breakfast and cup of coffee/check emails/instagram/do housework! and decide what the twins will have for lunch & dinner. I make everything fresh for them as its much cheaper plus I quite like the idea of cooking for them :)
11.30 Brought downstairs for play time again
12.00 lunch time/ i also sing songs to them and nursery rhymes. At the moment we're working on waving hands and trying to get them to say Mummm haha.
12.30 babies have milk (usually 150ml-180ml) , nappies changed again & more play time
13.30 second and last nap of the day for one hour usually
14.30 we usually go out for a 1 hour walk around the village, or go out to run errands/ pop to shops/basically i use this time to go out if needed as they are happy and had their meals by this time
15.00 offer them some milk they only have a tiny amount
16.30-16.45 Babies dinner time!
17.00 bath time every 2nd night
17.30 Billybam bam episode gets watched!
18.00 The Happy Song on youtube comes on, followed by nursery rhymes and baby sensory TV
18.40 start feeding large bottles (they have up to 200ml), change nappies again and put up to bed.
19.00 both up in bed, ewan the dream sheep gets turned on/monitor with white noise/lamp off/humidifier off. Night Boys zzzzz
The routine changes every few weeks, and has only really settled into a proper routine at between 5 and 6 months old. When they were 0-14 wks old I really didnt have a clue! The phrase winging it comes to mind....
