best invention ever!!! Go to target.com hopefully there is a store near you or you can just order it online. But look at all reviews ( you have to click on {all reviews} )


everybody loves it. IT makes them feel as if they are being held my six week old has been sleeping on there since she was eight days old She hated being on that stiff mattress. There head is inclined just a bit so they can see whats going on too. You can even put this on the couch with you to hang out with him. Or bring it in the bathroom so you know the baby is fine he cant roll off!! IT IS AWESOME!!!!

sleep when baby sleeps! I can't do it because once the baby is asleep and I'm laying there I start thinking of everything I need to get down around the house. Take any help offered and ask for help when needed. My mom stops by 1 or 2 times a week and I just had her the baby and I go lay down and sleep. The best gift I got was a cradle that my grandfather had made me. It is beautiful and I love it. Goodluck and congrats!
Don't be afraid to ask someone for help! That was the best advice that I received
The best gifts I received were my baby monitor so that I could hear them from my bedroom and a foam bath mat with the shape of a baby cut out of it. I could lay the foam in the bathtub and put 2 inches of water in the tub. Then I would lay the baby on the foam mat, which was two inches thick, and I could easily bathe it without worrying about a wet baby slipping out of my hands. As they got older, they could splash their hands in the water. When they could sit up, they sat on it and did not slide
Look into breastfeeding support ahead of time. I waiting until I really needed help and then I didn't know who to call. Most hospital classes about breastfeeding are not that good. The nurses who teach them generally only had a few hours of training in lactation and many of them are not parents themselves. Find our if there is a la leche league in your area and attend a few meetings while you are still in your third trimester. Also, find out about lactation consultants in your area. If you are having difficulty nursing, a lactation consultant can come to your house and help you. Usually this can cost around $50, but if you figure that formula costs about $2000 a year (some estimates are higher because if increased health care costs associated with formula) the lactation consultant fee is totally worth it if it keeps you nursing. Getting support for you will probably be very important since you are having twins. In this day and age when nursing is not the norm, you will probably have people tell you that you can't nurse two babies at the same time or exclusively. This is not true. There are plenty of women who exclusively nursed twins. La Leche League can also help you with this. La Leche League is an international organization that is mother to mother support for breastfeeding. Also, check out some of the books I've listed below. Most La Leche Leagues have lending libraries where you can check out some of these if your public library doesn't have them and you don't want to buy them.
best gift: the travel system


best advice: if labor were that bad, women wouldn't have multiple children.


and: god only gives us what we can handle
My Favorite were the books. I got a breast feeding book and what to expect during the first years. I had soo much trouble breastfeeding I read that book front to back 100x Im pretty sure. And the what to expect during the first year is my bible I read it all the time to make sure Im on track or not overreacting about normal things.
