 We've been bathing them in the big tub together since
 they were about 10 months old (before that, we bathed
 in the sink until they outgrew it, and then showered
 them separately with an adult). We make sure that 2
 adults are around to handle the getting out and drying
 part of the process though.

 Thanks Natasha! I tried to join the group but it says
 not accepting new members. Could you check the
 settings ? I am not sure what being the admin entails
 but if it is minimal effort, I dont mind being set up
 as admin, since I started the thread.

 Hi Bridget,I'm a single dad with twins and apologize
 for not responding to your post before. My kids are
 now 4 years 3 months old, so I am dealing with a very
 different set of issues than moms of newborns and
 toddlers. That's why you don't see many posts from
 parents of older twins. It's busy in a much more
 run-around kind of way. Anyway, there were at least 4
 other families with single parents when my kids were
 born. I did connect with a few and that was helpful. 
 That said, I have to comment that I hung out with moms
 of twins that were coupled more often than not; because
 their partners (be they men or women) were usually
 working full-time and the larger part of the work of
 handling the babies fell upon one person. Eventually
 almost everyone transitioned into either daycare and/or
 part-time nannies as returning to work became
 necessary. I think there are few things that are very
 different for single parents with twins:1) Co-sleeping
 is not necessarily an option2) Sometimes the parent
 tends more towards creating self-soothers and
 independent toddlers.3) There is no back-up in the
 middle of the night when one or both babies are sick. 
 This is more of an issue when they are toddlers. 4)
 There's really no time for the parent to get sick; you
 just push through. I'd be happy to answer questions
 based on my personal experience, but I should disclose
 that I've taken "the village" approach to raising my
 kids and they have multiple people involved in their
 daily/weekly life. I chose this path in order to
 create a safety net for the kids in the event that
 something were to happen to me. Congrats and best of
 luck.CheersGedaliaDad to Armstrong and Ella--- On Wed,

 This happened to one of our twins around the same time.
 As long as they are eating well and sleeping they
 should be just fine. Our ped just said to keep
 breastfeeding and that should help with anything they
 may be coming down with.
