Any suggestions? One walking and one not - how to get out and about

[_Vicky_]

Ok firstly my boys decided to worry me senseless and not want to walk till very very late so please excuse my ignorance.

OK Fynn is walking but still needs a hand held when out and about - sam walks still with two hands held atm. Is there any way that anyone can see that I can possibly walk them both on my own? Some contraption that I have come accros?

AARRGGGHHHHHH - its horrible as they are both really keen but I keep having to dump them in the buggy as I cant see a way to get them both out!!!

AAARRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Have you tried reigns (not sure about spelling lol!) x

There are twin harnesses you can buy that go round your waist, then around the twins waist, so that way they cant run away and you have your hands free to hold onto Sam and Fynn)! There are only available online on a twin website. I'm planning on buying them too, as my two hate being in the pram since they've started walking. Hope these help, here's the link.

OMG they are fab!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously just what I need - I have just spent £32 on normal reigns though booooooooooooo lol but its the belt clip thats genious LOVE IT THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Just ordered them - seriously Naz they are great - its getting them out of the car that is the main thing atm. I need three hands atm so cant use them straigth away but Fynn has onlhy been walking a week and he is just down to one hand for balance already and starting to run (omg) so I am sure that he wont be long xx

No problem hun, glad I could suggest something that was useful. I know a lady from the twin playgroup I go to that has them and says theyre really useful. I've been binding my time to buy them as I wanted the boys to be a bit more stable on their feet before getting them, but after all the tears and tamtrums the other day at a shopping centre, I think the time has come to get them! Let me know how you get on with them. x

Will do - thats what amazes me about Fynn he walked for the first time just over a week ago and he isnt wobbly at all!!! He runs when you hold his hand lol - it must be true then the later they start the more solid they are!!!

 

[FatKat]

Ahhhh Vicki I'm delighted to hear that's them on the move You must let us know how you get on with the reigns so we can all invest in a pair when the time comes

On a seperate note I always laugh when I see your Sam as he always reminds me of my big boy

 

[_Vicky_]

hehe ohhh dont - my darling Sam is/has caused me sooo much worry just by being good!!!!!!

He starts physio next week but has just decided he might want to move about after all lol

He holds onto my fingers sooo tight when he is walking - all 30lb of him I have swolled bruised knuckles lol

Glad you're sorted vicki It is true that the later they leave it the more competent they are at any of the baby milestones. Harry got up and walked one day (at 17mths) and walked like you and I lol. Zach walked at 12mths and tottered, then plodded, then walked with ease and just recently began to run at 17mths. Noah has just begun to walk (finally at 17mths) and is instantly more stable and faster than Zach was. Now your boys have made a start, I'll bet they're both walking within the month - it happens really quickly once they start. Off on hols tomorrow Vicki, you up for meet up week beginning the 5th? xxx

Hi Liz, glad you think the reigns will come in handy. I've had my eye on them since I was pregnant with the boys! lol (yep I was thinking that far ahead!). I'm ordering them today as the boys hate being in the pram now and whenever I take them out they both head in complete different directions (Kaan headed straight into an Ann Summer's shop the other day, while Kerem made a beeline for a T-mobile shop!)

I'm ok, just tired! Boys had got worse at night AGAIN! They go through phases where they improve, then go back to waking up constantly through the night wanting to get into bed with us. I tried CC the other day but they both threw up after a few minutes of crying!! Kerem does end up making himself sick if i let him cry but it was the first time Kaan did it, but now I'm too scared to do CC because i'm worried they'll make themselves sick again and the last thing I need in the middle of the night is to change bed sheets and babies! By the time I'm done cleaning, we're all wide awake! It's definately much harder to get them sleep trained now that they are older - i have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?

We're moving back to our flat in a month's time and I'm planning on putting all three boys into one room. I'm hoping this will solve the problem as they wont see me in the night so hopefuly wont want to get into bed with us. I'm hoping that's the answer, although I'm worried they'll be waking their brother up this time and the poor thing will be knackered for school in the morning! Other than the sleep issue, the boys are doing wonderfully! I'm so so proud and impressed with them. They both walked not long after their 1st birthday (Kaan 6 days after and Kerem 10 days after Kaan) and they're starting to communicate a lot better saying the odd word when they want food or a drink etc. Now if only I could stop them from fighting, and get them sleeping through, everything would be perfect!

How are you're lovely brood getting on? x
