Multiple Mommies

hi there

Quick Question, are you ladies SAHM's or are you on mat leave ? if so for how long ?

tx.

Josie, its exactly how u said it - hard work but a real blessing.

I have a domestic lady who has experience with twins, shame, she helps alot, then we have a night nurse for now.

Hi Ladies

So last night I decided to give the boys a bit of cooked maize the Purity goodnights Aiden loved it everytime we took the spoon out his mouth he cries when we put the spoon back he sucks of the porridge Llewellyn didn't like it at all so I stopped with him and gave it to him in his bottle and he loved it. They slept from 7 to 2:30 this morning and again from 2:30 to 6 so they where really hungry and the milk wasn't filling them I know it's a bit soon but my lg had porridge in her milk when she was 8 weeks old and she loved it.

Wow, having triplets must be really hard work & such a blessing . I teach kidi-sportz to little kids & last year i had triplets in my one class, i loved every moment with them, they had just turned 3. They were also 2 girls & a boy. I used to come home & tell DH that i want triplets, he would just laugh & say i'm crazy!!!!

Do you have help during the day or a night nurse?

Have you joined SAMBA? Such a great support group

Hi ladies!!

Hi josie and hapi!

Iv got 2 girls and a boy, will be 2 months in 2 days! Alessandro, Athena and Alexia, our lil' A-team, who is now nick-named the Tag-Team cos when one cries they all start and when one niggles they all start, its like a mexican wave with them.

Oh I wish I was brave enough to leave my babies to sleep and feed when they wake up!! But I think I must also be patient and wait a little as Maryke and Vix babies is 3 weeks ahead of mine.

Vix, have/are your boys starting to miss feeds?

EP, I still admire that you have 6 kids, when I say to DH that I want anotehr one, which I wont, but he just looks at me as if Im mad, I think with us if it weren't a financail thing too, I would. (oh and the fact that once you have been pregnant with multiples the chances of being pregnant with multiples again are very high). I really would love to come for a family photo shoot but DH doesn't want to as he says its too much work and especially if they feeding 3 hourly.

Vix yes MommyN & I know each other through my mom, wow, what a small world

I am very keen if you arrange a get together. My boys stay at home so I love taking them out & they love to play with other children.

My boys names are Joshua & Brandon.

Can you believe we have just had a set of girl twins born in our family. They are 4 weeks old. The weird thing is that i have heard they say twins don't come from the man's side yet its both brothers that have had the twins......................strange!!!!

Maryke, we first fed them on a 3 hourly schedule & then we moved onto 4 hourly which was much better. I'm generally not a routine person but this is the only way we survived. We had a night nurse help us from 4 weeks onwards as i had to return back to work as i run my own business. She helped us until just before they turned 3months old.

Wow, i take my hat off to you gals that have twins & a singleton or triplets!!! Well done!!

EP, I did get hold of you a while back, will definately get hold of you, sounds great

If so, I am TOTALLY in awe of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hehehehe no sorry I high jacked the post, I hope no -one minds. Just really desperately looking for multiples for my protfolio - the last time I photographed twins were 3 years ago.


yep, I gave birth 6 times, all naturally lol. The last 2 at home. Please, don't be in awe, for me it's totally normal, I am SCARED of hospitals and really scared of operations and stuff.
