Tips for Taking Care of the Twins at Home (Hopefully you have already purchased or at least soon purchasing the necessities for the care of newborns.)


· Having all the help possible from close friends, family or volunteers may be very convenient when dealing with both babies at the house.
· Childproofing the entire house increases safety for the babies.
· Create a strict schedule for breastfeeding and be open to new feeding positions for the children.
· Bathing each twin separately is more practical unless the tub is large.
· Make a diaper change schedule.
· Do not take sides when the twins fight.
· Unlatching clothes can allow everyone to determine who is which twin.
· Label each twin’s possessions by name so they learn how to share.
· Separation trials beforehand can ease anxiety when the twins begin attending school.
· Encourage the twins to befriend others.
· Encourage individuality.
