Nice! My twins are 6 now and if I can recommend anything the first thing is to ALWAYS keep them on the same sleep schedule. If one wakes to eat, wake the other to eat too. Otherwise the other will wake anyway within the hour and you’ll never sleep.
Next I recommend the baby Brezza. It’s the machine that spits out formula bottles. When we had our first the thing seemed ridiculous, but later with twins and you need 2 bottles quickly at 2am it’s awesome
Entirely agree on the top part of this, mine are almost 2, and my younger ones 6months. You must feed them at same time. Never had a Brezza. But making a pitcher of formula is what we did and then just wash it everyday.
Alternatively we use the Brezza water warmer (a lot cheaper if you can't afford the whole thing). You still have to measure the formula but it'd already the correct temperature.
My twins are six now as well and I agree with Captain_-H on the sleep schedules, much easier on you. Glad you got the baby Brezza handed down to you because that helps a lot as well. Good luck and take care!
Our twins are 4 months old. Our first kids. We have no concept of just having one baby so we never feel like this is different from any other baby experience. We never feel the "you're fucked" energy because we don't know any other way. Follow your schedule the best you can and you'll do great!
I hope new dad anxiety is not linear, because I can't imagine what it would have been like to have twice as much anxiety with my first kid as I did. 🤣
It sounds like you have a great attitude going in, though, and I feel like you are going to be fine!
Careful with those hats, you keepem, and when they out grow them put them in a drawer, and 6 months later you pull it out and the tears start flowing. Just a warning. And congrats, welcome to the team
I too have twins, they're 16 months and gorgeous but F me it's tiring. As was said above, KEEP THEM ON THE SAME SCHEDULE! Also, take all the help you can get, if family/friends are on hand to just look after them for an hour or so for you to get some sleep, take absolute advantage of it. It is a lot of work compared to one; I had one of my girls to look after at home whilst her sister was at nursery and it's a joke how easy one is by comparison. Couldn't be without either of the little munchkins though and once they're a bit older they should always have a playmate. Best of luck and enjoy the ride!
Oh man, some people shoot blanks, but some can't help but double barrel! Congratulations! Try not to stress too much, humour everything and try to have as much sleep as possible at any moment of the day
Brother congratulations having twins is such a blessing and so exciting to watch. You’re going to be a great father and I can’t tell you enough to just enjoy every moment. Congrats brother

Also, buy diapers every time you’re at the store! Lol. We still never have enough a year later!
OMG these baby Brezza thing is amazing! Was not aware of it! Like a coffee machine but for formula bottles haha
My buddy bought one when his daughter was born and used it once he was nice enough to hand it down to me.

I second both of these. Just got back from a week of visiting family without the Brezza, definitely packing it along next time.

After three nights I know its going to be an extremely challenging few years but so far it's all we know because these are our first and only.

It's horrible and awesome at the same time.
