I hv one Jumperoo at home for my 5mths old twin. We usually put them inside(not together at once, of course) when we are busy with our own work while the other one on rocker. They do enjoy those little toys attached to the jumperoo set. When they got excited they will jump although their feet barely touches the floor. However, i don't think jumperoo is suitable for older babies as it is a bit small for bigger babies and definitely not for those who are active and likes to move around..

The only logical reason this thread has been so quiet because everyone is too busy with twins here.. or at least for me. :) My twins going to be 3 months old next month. Since the second month (after confinement), our weekends are pretty restless. We seldom have proper meals because busy taking both of them and probably no appetite to eat. Anyway, now they can smile, baby-talk so kinda nice to play with. heheee... They have one very strange habit when come to feeding time. They will resist and cry before finally give in and start taking the milk. Both also same pattern one although both are non-identical twins. So, sometimes, don't know if they really want to drink or just crying for other reasons. On their last checkup, both weighing 5.7kg and 5.1kg so the younger twin has a lot of catch up to do. Cheers...

hi all... am officially promoted to 'daddy' now! woott.. wife was admitted to hospital this morning, not because of labour pain but decided 2 days ago during her last checkup. Doctor suggested her to have induced labour since it's full term now. She was induced for almost 6 hours before doc decided to go for c-sec because babies heads not in favourable position to deliver. Both babies (weighing about 2.5kg each) and mummy are doing fine... thank God everything went smoothly... :)

oh boy oh boy!! Am counting the days.. it's going to be anytime now. We are blessed with twins and so far so good. It has been more than 37 weeks - consider full-term pregnancy. When we first told my wife is carrying twins, doctor has repeated telling us the main concern is premature delivery. Phew.. Wife has been doing very good all the while too. No morning sickness, not much craving on food(except for durian lately). She can't walk as fast now, feeling tired easily and can't sleep too well at night (because whenever she turn her body, she has to physically hold her big tummy and move around). Overall, i think she is doing pretty good for first timer and carrying twins! On our last checkup, doc said can go with natural birth since my wife has no sign of complication. As a matter of fact, doc said it should be easier also because of smaller size for twins. Her next checkup will be tomorrow... see what the doc has to say this time. Adios..

hi... Congrats on your newborn baby. Although you should have got most of the stuff months before but guess it's better late than never huh.. Check out this thread... things you need for newborn and mommies.. http://www.malaysiabrides.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3876 cheers..

just curious... right now my wife is 35 weeks pregnant. On her last checkup last 2 days, the doc said the babies weigh 2.1 and 1.9. Is this normal for twins? or are they still tiny? wondering what's the weight like for most twins... emm.. anyone?

happi For now, the plan is separate them during daytime and put them together when they got home together. i have no other choice at the moment because i just don't think my parents (with their maid) can manage 2 babies at one time. Besides, they are taking care of my 9 mths old nephew at the moment. The difference made is just that instead of seeing one of them on weekends only, i can see them and they can get together everynight. So, still separate during the day and only get together at night. Not too worry on the house chores because i have been doing that already, cleaning, washing dishes, mopping and all. We help out each other pretty much when come to this. Moreover, we get to 'loan' my parents' maid during weekends to clean up the house. I only plan to seek parents' help if only i am away for work. Usually, it's only a 2-3 days (max) and few months once. So it should be ok. We hired the confinement lady whom claimed she has 2 sets of twins herself so pretty relief for now although found out quite hard to believe! Wife will be staying at her parents' hse during confinement period. Hard to separate with them after 2 mths? Hah.. i hope! So can spend time together.. hehe.. I know it's sounds really tough.. i don't have to see elsewhere.. read fluene's latest comment.. :) Am sure can learn lots from her ... hahaa fluene... i need more positive feedbacks! Your last comment not helping at all!.. hhaha

I know it is not easy to take care of newborn, especially for us, first timers, with twins! I know we can have easier way out by just sending them to caretaker but i believe every parents should go through this process although it could be a PITA especially for the first timer. It's just a process for us, as parents to learn more, to adapt to new environment and to cope with stress. In short, if you can pass this grueling period of taking care baby(ies), conquering the world is nothing, ummm, so to speak. Maybe i would give up after the 1st day itself, but i will still give it a try. Having said that, emm.. hopefully i don't fail miserably after day one lar. hehee.. Of course i will help out else i won't raise this issue in the first place. In fact I see myself changing diapers rather than my wife. :) Point taken. Still undecided on this issue yet.

I second this. It is of great help to have a maid around even if she is not helping with the babies. With this, you don't have to split the twins. My elder baby was discharged 3 days earlier than her sister. From her behabiour, I daresay she felt weird and uncomfortable not having her twin together with her. I never let my maid feed my younger baby, Charmaine before this because she choked and turned blue the 1st time I bottled fed her. Have to be extra careful when feeding Charmaine so I never let the maid do it. But I always have difficulty feeding my baby as I am a bit phobia already and I do not know the proper way to handle her. Then there was once I was in the shower and Charmaine cried for milk. The maid thus fed her for me. I didn;t trust the maid but end up she is more experienced and better than me. I learnt the techniques and few tricks from her and now I do not have problem feeding Charmaine anymore. Btw, d2b, referring to your earlier query about sleeping arrangement, I let my twins sleep side by side in the cot now. They are ok with it and is not disturbed when either one of them cry. Spoke to wife but she didn't think she can handle them. So i suggested to take care the babies for the first 2 mths ourselves and see how it goes lor. Still need to convince her...sigh.. I think for now, maid is a no-no. I know am being bias but just couldn't take the risk. I need to make sure i cover all the possibilities so my wife has no excuse not to bring them back! What am going to do is: 1) convince my wife. 2) check with parents if they can take care one of them(overnight) when i travel outstation for work(occasionally) Just spoke to dad. Said shouldn't be an issue. Phew!! 3) convince my wife again... 4) get a maid in 6 mths time. Btw.. i overheard nowadays the fee to get a maid is abt RM9k? So exp! fluene, your bb really in deep sleep eh? Good for you. Am pretty sure taking care of bb is not easy, moreover twins.. but i am pretty excited about it. Although the thoughts of sleepless nights, feeding one baby after another or both screaming together can be quite scary but hey.. that's part of growing and learning to be parents right. thanks for your input, will keep you gals updated.

thanks mhyap1, meiteoh, fluene maid is not the option that i really want to look into if possible because i don't really trust maid, especially to take care newborn babies! Worse if you get one that don't know nuts abt taking care of kids. Even if i do, i shall wait maybe when babies are 6th mth old or older. At least their bones are stronger by then. Just cannot imagine letting maid taking care of newborn babies... they are fragile and small.. cannot afford any carelessness on taking care of them. Not to say this won't happen on babysitter but at least that's what they do for living.. to avoid having favoritism over who gets to be with us, one other option is to switch every week. One week with bbsitter and following week with us. will try to talk to wife again about this issue. maybe will take both of them back for 1-2 mths for 'trial'.. if really cannot cope then only think about a way out... btw, fluene, i assume you are take care your twins full time... how do you manage both of them during wee hours (feed them)? Does your hubby help you out?

Very quiet here eh.. Just want to get opinions here... We are expecting twins in less than 2 mths time. Am excited and at the same time troubled. My wife and i both working and these are our first babies. Our plan is, one will be taken care by my parents and the other by babysitter. The one with parents will be with us everyday after work and the one with bbsitter only take back maybe friday night or sat only. I feel bad actually to separate them but it seems that's the best option i have now. My concern is i don't think babysitter or even my parents can take care of 2 newborn babies at the same time but they thoughts of separating them are such awful. Am thinking maybe 6 mths later, will consider hire a maid to help out so i can leave both babies at parents hse and take them back everyday! Although we are new to this, I would like to take care both of them but my wife doesn't think we can handle it. I do understand her concern because her sis just went full time taking care her newborn and I can see it's really tough for her although this is her second child. Have another concern is that there might be favoritism since one of them is spending more time compare to the other. Any twin parents facing same dilemma before? :wacko3:

am with you ,bro!

Just wondering when we can bring newborn out from the house for shopping or traveling?
