What Do You Mommy Of Multiples Think Of This Idea? I Am Not A Mommy Of Multiples Just A Single Baby
@amy not once did I say I have done this or am doing it right now with this prop. I'm not even sure what u r talking about I did say IF I wanna surf my phone while I did this. How does that not make sense to u? And yes I know did would b past tense. But when I use it in this sentence it still makes sense. Re read it to urself. Before u try and "school" me in English. If u r really being picky with my grammar and what not. I forgot 'I' in the sentence before that.
@jem. No one is hating on the moms that don't like it. It's the moms that don't like this or think it's lazy that keep trying to 'prove' their points or whatever it is their trying to say. All I'm saying is a great idea and I will b propping bottles when my boys get here. And I do prop bottles for the girls I nanny as well.
@amy. It is future tense and i did tell u what I could b doing like surf my phone or lay next to them. So what u mean I couldn't tell u what I would b doing? And yes very observant ?? my boys aren't here yet. But like I said before I am a nanny to a set of twins and have been in situations we're both needed feeding at the same time at 3 am
@amy and @bobby. Ur right my twins aren't here yet. But I'm a nanny to a set of twin girls and their older sister that is 9. So tell me how I have no leg to stand on here. Btw very observant that my boys aren't here yet ??? didn't think I had experiences with taking care of twins now did u guys
All these americans getting mad cause us uk folk dont like their plastic prop that is a choking hazard and so damn lazy!
Im not a twin mum but iv fed two babies at the one time its not hard at all.
God just leave it be. Not everyone is going to agree with others so stop hating on the mums that dont agree with this plastic s***
@bobby no honey I wasn't saying this post was only directed to twin mamas out there. The only thing I was saying is that you're someone that has strong opinions on this prop and how twin mama feed their lil ones. When really ur opinion isn't even valid considering u urself have never been in this situation before having to feed 2 babies at the same time
@amy ? Ok what point is that? I couldn't care less what ur point is anyways. But ok. Let's hear it and for a mom that has apparently been fortunately not to b judged by other moms or even been talked about u sure judgmental bahahaha. I'm sure ur mom skills are so perfect and no one judges u or even talks about u behind ur back ???? good for u. Coming at u like I randomly decided to come at u. Please lol. I replied to u and u decided to try and make a point with my post or whatever it is ur chirping about
For one @amy. I didn't say I was gunna b using it all the time if I had this and even if I did what's it to u huh? If was feeding my twin boys at 3 am and using that prop. That's my business and if I wanna surf my phone while I did it. Also my business. Why are u so concerned with what am doing while feeding my twins? Not once did I say u didn't have twin nor even address u in any of my post. But thanks coming out tho! Smh ?
My twins may not be here yet we still got 6 weeks but that doesn't make me any less a twin mom and I was the first to comment on here and it is not safe regardless of what anyone says that baby doesn't know when to stop eating it's being force fed at this point and although you can't compare singletons versus twins no matter how close in age singleton moms see different struggles then twin moms st the end of the day we're all moms trying to do what's best for our kids. If someone doesn't like the way you do things then that's on them everyone parents different wether you agree or not it's not your place to say don't judge and then judge
You are claiming that we are being 'judges' instead of supportive but you are judging our opinions too! Pot kettle black. Yes some of us don't have twins but doesn't mean we aren't allowed in the forum because if that was the case this post should have never been made as the original poster said she didn't have twins.
Singleton crew ???god its like being in high school all over again. People are giving their opinion u dont like it ok great move on past it!
Jeez man your so butt hurt by what others have said!
I said it was lazy and not a good idea and i still say the same. You think its a great idea good for you.
Now lets all move on ..
So it's 'supportive' to tell other parents this is ok? When in the U.K. This would be illegal. The same as breast straps on car seats and for bumpers in beds! They have been proved to be dangerous to children and I'm sure if the uk tested these it would be the same result. But the U.K. Wouldn't even put these on the shelf to start with because they aren't as stupid as the USA!
Yes bobby us not you why are you even here lol and all the rest of you without twins... if she wanted the opinions of moms without twins she would of posted it in a different group... and all the twin moms come on we are better than that in here we might have different opinions but we dont say rude things to eachother we stick together except amybott lol
Omg ??this is pure laziness!!!!!
Ok I don't have twins but I had 4 under 4 years old two of which who were 9 months apart & then a very poorly prem baby who trust me took a lot longer to feed than the 'normal' baby & this is lazy!
Everyone's entitled to their opinion. & as this post says 'what do you think of this' I think whoever posted this wanted people's opinions. Stop trying to justify your laziness ?
Thanks @kelsaucedo ?
The way I see it is u can judge all u want. But honestly when it's 3 am and my baby boys can't stop crying and need to b fed. Imma do what I gotta do to feed my boys. Some of these mom have help with their twins and some of these moms on this very forum aren't even twin moms that are judging and giving their options. Personally no one should b judging anyone or even calling other moms lazy for thinking this is a great idea or even using bottle props to feed ur twins.
Thank you twin mama i guess a propped bottle here and there didnt abuse them too bad ?? since im just so lazy ?? we are all alive and crazy haha i just hate seeing moms especially non multiple moms being so judgemental its so ridiculous you do what u need to do to survive if its a propped bottle oh well lol its a cool idea!!! But who knows maybe im just too lazy to understand especially with 4 kids haha ur doing an awesome job as well mama.... and be careful cause us who have propped a bottle dont bond with our children maybe we should start ??
Who's to say, mom isn't right there taking the bottles out periodically to give them a break. I didn't prop till my twins were maybe 6mo old, then it was swaddle blankets or a toy. When I needed to feed them at the same time younger than 6mo, I couldn't hold them both anyway, I did what I could, I would use something like this if I had seen it. Nothing lazy about it.
Would you tape a dummy to your babies mouth to keep it in? No cause that would be child abuse. So why force a bottle in their mouth and keep it held in by a plastic prop? Again child abuse .. how can a newborn baby tell you it's finished without being able to spit or push the bottle out of its mouth? This to me is irresponsible and will/could cause your baby to choke and be sick because of over feeding!
Kelsaucedo I'm a mother of twins they may not be here yet but I'm still a mother of twins and have 2 other kids under the age of 3 and I still won't be doing this because of the risk of over feeding choking really anything can happen and I wouldn't risk my girls life over convince
Exactly what amybott1993 and jem1x said and how u supposed to bond with the baby's and I know loads of people that have twins and more and find it a rewarding thing doing it all by them self with no help so this is being lazy ??? the question was asked if you think it's a good idea so that's my opinion the world ain't gonna end ? ??
Im not a mum of twins but i dont think this would be safe how the hell are the babies meant to get air if that bottle is in their mouth the whole feed? To me this is lazy. It doesnt take long to feed the baby god just hold the bottle if the baby chokes the mother will b the first one to moan about it!
Im guessing half of the mothers on here that are saying its wrong dont have other little children or have husbands and stuff to help.. good for u. Some of us need the help, we dont have the luxury of handing a baby to someone else, to help.. pull up ladies, we are all being judged by someone and its pathetic, this group may be a public forum but its supposed to be used to support otherz not put them.down.. have some respect yeah!!
I don't really think it's necessary. It doesn't take long to feed them so I would just hold the bottles and give them little breaks in between so that they don't choke. I breastfed my twins though so never did bottles. Just don't think it takes that long to sit and feed them. Also a time to bond with them and talk to them.
@amy, you only think you have never been judged. I would be willing to bet that just like you are not dating this to the face of the mother using it, there have been plenty of judgments made about you behind your back. While I didn't use this prop, there have been times that I have used a bottle prop with my twins when they were still little. Days when I was sick and trying to avoid close contact and transferring the cold, days when one baby needed to eat and the other had a massive diaper change, days when one wanted milk and one needed to be walked and jiggled for gas relief. Since they are 3.5 now, perfectly healthy, and lying on the couch snuggled up to me now-- I am pretty sure we all turned out on.
I'm not trying to put moms down probably shouldn't have used the word lazy but I feel like this is unsafe. I get for some moms it's probably really convenient I guess since I do have the help it's different for me personally. That and I'll be nursing for the most part so I wouldn't have to worry about using things like this I and by the time I plan on stopping they will be able to hold a bottle by themselves. I have 2 little ones and It's hard as it is and I can only imagine how much harder it will be once my girls get here but I'm blessed to know that I'll have the help not only from my husband mom and family but also from my kids they may be little but they are the biggest help I have. But just like many things that are out there like crib bumpers and car seat toys I feel like this is something that although convenient and pretty cool it's also a little unsafe and everyone should know that things come with risks and not just everyone glorifying it. I know desperate times call for desperate measures but everyone should really look into everything before trying something new
Heck yes i would use them, i have 3 boys now ages 14, 5 and 4 and i habe twins arriving in 7 and a half weeks, im pedantic with house work and such and having somyhing like thus would make my life so much easier, i understand how some would say its lazy, but in all reality u wouldnt use them every single feed, they would be used for feeds where u are trying to dish tea up for ur other children, trying to spend time with other kids and stuff, as parents sometimes we need to do things to make things easier for ourselves or we wpuld go insane.. im a single mum of 3 and 2 on the way, ive never had help, or extra mo ey i do it soely on my own and there have been plenty of times where i would feed my babies with a pillow propped under them,, i am an amazing mother i am not lazy in any way, but we all need a break from time to time and that does not make us bad parents. So for the people that are saying its lazy and such, im 100 percent positive that u have done things as such that others would look down on.. we are all trying our best to be great parents, what works for some doesnt for others, if u didnt like this post then u shouldn't have commented, do u really have nothing better to do in ur life then to tear others down, we all have our own opinions amd this is ok, but u dont need to voice them just to make others feel like crap.. hows about tpu start praising other woman on the great jobs they are doing as parents amd stick together, geez we all need help from time to time. No one is perfect.. now back to what i was saying, where can i get myself some of these amazing inventions?? ?
It may seem impersonal to some...but don't judge until you've walked in those shoes. I'm not saying I'd use this device, but much to my own shock I propped bottles for screaming 2 month old twins when I was left alone while my husband was traveling. I'm a great mom and I feel confident in saying so. At that moment I met their needs. I stayed with them and made sure they were safe.
Nothing wrong with bottle props. I did it when the twins were about 2/3 mnths. Of course I was right there the whole time. As a twin mom you need to do what you need to do. I also have a 3rd child 15mnths older then the twins. Bottle propping helped so much when it was just me at home.
If you dont have experience with twins , don't comment. You have no idea the struggle.
You dont have to judge anyone that does use it especially if your babies arent born yet you have no idea what ur in for its hard!!!! @Royale idk where you can get these ones but they have some on etsy just look for bottle props.... i didnt use them but i know some moms who did and they said they helped a lot and some are really cute
Kinda funny but I would never do this with one, two , or however many kids... it's so impersonal aside from "what if anything goes wrong" and also reminds me of a hamster feeder ... lol ... I bottle fed my puppy when he was born... actually 4 puppies and never had a problem holding the bottle up. They eat every 2 hours!
I don't have experience with twins so my opinion doesn't have as much weight to it... but just my 2 cents
Safe or not safe I can't say - the issue is that if anything bad happened because of using it - you would never forgive yourself.
Even if you're in the same room things happen and babies choke or you get distracted with another child etc
I wouldn't want to the burden of having it on my conscience if something went wrong
BUT it could be a necessity for twin moms who am I to say
