Helpful Hints
|
|
- Establish a list of priorities. Babies needs top the list but getting your rest when the babies do should follow.
- Use a chart so everyone will see at a glance which child has been cared for and what time.
- Accept all offers of help. Delegate chores and assign tasks to those who offer their time.
- Treat your babies as individuals at the beginning. They are two or more separate beings. Avoid revering to them as "the twins" and use their given names. YOU set the example for others to follow.
- Be sure to take photographs of each child separately for the time when one will ask for a picture of "me". Put the child's name on the back of the picture so that there is no confusion in later years.
- Use care in selecting toys. As babies grow, play becomes serious business. Toys that are suitable for singletons can become weapons when there are two or more in a playpen. As the child becomes older, try choosing different toys and encourage sharing.See the NOMOTC website at www.nomotc.org for a complete listing of tips.
