MrsB they are adorable can't believe 3 months already! Did they fall into a routine quite early on ? Fab that they now sleep through how did you manage that? X

 

[Blueflower]

They are adorable! Are they holding hands? Are they non identical I can't remember?

 

[Laura1992]

They are so cute! And please give us your secret to getting them to sleep through so early!

 

[MrsB2105]

They are non identical, they weren't holding hands no, and we are fairly strict on routine so we don't feed on demand we do it to a schedule, did the same with our eldest and he slept through from 7 weeks. We are either lucky or our routine works very well x

 

[Blueflower]

How often do you feed them?

 

[Laura1992]

I was planning on feeding on demand but you're rapidly changing my mind!

 

[Laura1992]

They look so alike! I think I've heard that 30% of fraternal twins are identical that split really early on so developed a placenta each? I mean, not that it matters either way, but they do look like two peas in a pod You are probably fed up of hearing "how can they not be identical??" though so I apologise if hearing that is getting old now xx

 

[MrsB2105]

Haha they are very similar but one is really ginger and the other only has hints of ginger x

 

[Blueflower]

Ah bless! I think one of ours will be ginger or fair and one will have brown hair as DH has a lot of ginger in his family!

 

[FBTTN8079]

Anyone else having trouble posting?

 

[FBTTN8079]

An old school friend has one girl that's got her black hair and her twin sister is blonde hair blue eyes ! X

 

[FBTTN8079]

I'd like to routine feed rather than cluster/demand as don't want to feel trapped x

 

[MrsB2105]

Ginger is a good gene
It's also good to try and feed them at the same time by yourself otherwise you spend a lot of time feeding x

Had our breastfeeding antenatal session this morning and decided that we'd start with demand feeding to see how hungry they are then use that pattern to establish a routine.

The facilitator was great and didn't rule out formula and combination feeding if necessary which was good.

My friend has a friend with twins, one looks black and the other completely white! Mother is white and father is black I don't think anyone ever believes that they are twins.

I have heard of that happening before, bless them at least their mum knows best x

Breaking in here again. My forum activity has become almost non existent at the moment. But this picture below is of me and my twin when we were younger
My sisters little girl has the exact same face as she had when she was little (left). Right down to the cheeky grin she sometimes pulls when she does something she knows she shouldnt be doing.

 

[Valentina92]

Mrs B your boys are so cute! Can tell they arent identical though. But I have also always said all babies look alike so get where people could think they were

 

[Laura1992]

aw what a pair of cuties you were! How far along are you, Valentina? Must be quite special to be a twin and be having them!
