Your ultrasound shows that you are
being blessed more than one time. Congratulations. More babies
equals more fun for
you!
Multiples have a high risk of
premature birth. You may have to use monitors and have other
issues that surround premature babies. When you bring them
home, you will find that you are continually tired due to
feedings and sleep apnea monitor alarms, so you need to make
sure that you sleep when the babies sleep and ask for help.
Many parents choose to put
twins or even triplets into the same crib. They do not move
around very much and they are used to being snuggled next to
each other. You will need to move them into separate cribs
when they can move around though as it may create the danger
of suffocation.
The number of diapers that you
will go through will be mind-boggling. Whether you choose
cloth or disposables, you need to evaluate the price of each
and the care of them. Disposable diapers are easier on your
baby’s skin and you will get more use out of each diaper.
Check different places to find the best price of your
diapering choice.
Preemies are often more sleepy
than full-term newborns. Preemies respond to over stimulation
by sleeping and withdrawing even through feeding, bathing, and
diapering them. Work with them and understand that they will
begin to awake when they get closer to their due date.
Preemies frequently experience
reflux and spitting up more than full-term babies. This is
because the sphincter in their stomach may not be fully
developed. Work with them, but do not overfeed them or you
will see it again when they spit it up.
Routine is a very important
part of living with multiples. Being flexible with your
schedule will help your babies learn to sleep, eat, and grow
better! Mommy will be much happier too!
