How to Bring Up Twin Babies

Author: Webmasterone | Posted: 01.12.2011



Throughout history, across all cultures, twins always fascinate us. I still remember the twin brothers, Papai and Tupai of my colony. When their parents relocated to our colony, they were just 3 or 4 year old. They were the most naught kids in the whole colony. So many times I saw them sharing the same tricycle. They were really the best mate of each other. But one thing that troubled me the most about them was their faces were same, at least to me. Even today, when they become young teens, they look the same to me. One day I saw one of the twins crying and when I asked him about the matter, he responded that his brother got hurt in a road mishap. That day I understood the strong bond that the twin brothers shared. Even now also, one can notice them playing together, roaming together and even teasing people together. In addition to interest in the close emotional ties and biological similarities that twins may share, reports of special twin languages and twin extrasensory perception help people to explore ideas of what it means to be human.

When parents get twins, they become worried as how to bring them up. Bringing up the twins is really a tough job. It needs the co-operation of both the parents- father and mother. It sometime becomes an adventurous task for parents to feed the twin baby, to wash them and keep them clean. There are certain tips that parents of twins can follow while bringing up their babies. These are briefly discussed below:-

1-Setting up a proper routine is very important. But one needs not to be very rigid in terms of the routine. Parents can follow their own routine that suits them the most

2-Parents often dress their kids in matching colors and textures. This should not be done, as every individual have their own choice and kids are not an exception to this rule

3-In case of twin babies, parents often face financial problems. To avoid this, they can act smartly. For example, use cotton cloths instead of nappies. It is also good for the soft skin of the baby

4-Being a parent, we need to treat both our twins equally. They should not develop the feeling that their guardians are discriminating between them, otherwise this may create a gap between the twins also

5-Breastfeeding may be challenging but is possible. If you can’t manage it, do not feel guilty; just do the best you can. Find out before you have the children what support is available for you

6-Father and mother should encourage their twin babies to co-operate with each-other. This will become a future asset for them as they can become the strength of each-other

7-Invest in a baby sling. It enables you to carry two children and a buggy upstairs in one go

Every stage of raising twins has its own set of delights and dilemmas: Just when parents have mastered the logistics of juggling two newborns, they are confronted with two toddlers who, together, can create a wonderful world to share.
