For all new parents out there, it can be stressful to care for a newborn. Not just that the mother is still on recovery from labor and delivery, she also needs to ensure that her newborn is well-rested, fed on time and growing healthily.
Double the Fun, Double the Challenge
On the other hand, the stress can be doubled quickly when there’s no one but twins that should be taken care of. It will require both parents to jump between tasks to meet the needs of their kids.
Being able to cope up with just one baby is already a difficult feat. Most of the new parents are getting rest only when their newborn is asleep.
Truth is, the time that baby sleeps isn’t a time for parents to get some rest. Instead, this is where they do chores in the house, take showers and if there’s more time left, to get some rest. With twins, everything should be timed to do all this.
What shall be Done?
It is totally fine for parents to have a hard time when caring for newborn twins. With this in mind, it is ideal to arrange for help with friends, family or a professional. It is imperative to know that your mental and physical health should not be compromised for you to become effective when raising your babies.
