| Tips on Being a Mom to Multiples (from other Multiple Moms) * Trust your instinct on raising them * It only gets better & better * Don't panic if one reaches a milestone quicker than the other * Don't compare them & don't allow others to either * Try to spend special time alone with each of them * Let them have their own identity * Photograph them together and seperately * Take all the help you can get and don't be afraid to ask for more * Get them on a schedule * Keep a good sense of humor and take care of yourself * Prioritize (don't sweat the small stuff) * Ignore all the unwanted questions & remarks you will hear in public * Don't assume they are going to do everything the same or have the same personalities * Enjoy watching them grow * Gates, gates and more gates * Let them be independent * Treat them equally, but address their seperate needs * Let them be "twins", it's a special blessing |
