Raising Twin Babies Takes Mad Skills
, I know you" look that really makes you go, "Oh wait, I'm not just a milk-machine. I'm a Mommy." With twins though, you also have that moment where they really seem to see each other . In the first month or two, of course, I think sometimes I was looking for things that weren't there. Like, when I would breastfeed them together, I swear I thought they were gazing at each other from across my chest, not realizing that they could barely see that far. In the last several weeks though, they don't just look at one another, but they reach for one another too. In fact, my Berm will often grab at his brother and pull, like he wants to get closer. Herm is a pretty loving brother himself. Just yesterday, at the pediatrician, Berm was having a bit of a meltdown. When I couldn't seem to console him, I laid him down on the table next to his twin and, no joke, Herm reached his arm out to his brother's shoulder, and within seconds, my fussing boy had calmed down.WIN The Bugaboo Donkey Stroller!
From someone who has tested countless double strollers* (including the Bugaboo Donkey), I can tell you that this is one of the most impeccably designed strollers I’ve seen. It converts from a single stroller to a double stroller without the inline design (one baby on top, one on the bottom) that makes some parents uncomfortable. Yet it’s not impossibly wide or unmanageably bus-like, like so many double strollers on the market. More than that, it can accommodate a range of ages — including twin newborns, which is surprisingly difficult to find. You can even use the Bugaboo base with two infant car seats, which is perfect for twins.
And like all Bugaboos, the maneuverability is unmatched, as is the convenience — reversible seats, multi-terrain wheels and an easy fold. (See more at Bugaboo , where owners of the Bugaboo Donkey share their stories.
