Taking kids out

It depends on if your community has baby friendly stuff that walkable nearby.

Nope. You are not alone. I have a 1 and 2 year old. Not twins. But 13 months apart. Since they’re older it’s easier in different ways. Then before when my second was a baby and my other was 1. But I do try to take them out alone. It’s definitely hard. Especially right now bc I’m 8 months pregnant. Most times we just go outside in the neighborhood and walk around exploring nature. It’s far better than staying indoors and they get to see the world still. They know everything that’s outside and they’re still learning. I’ve made it a must that on Sundays when my husband is off work that we must all go out somewhere at least for hour or more with the kids. Instead of reading online or beating yourself up. Choose a day with your spouse to go out! Like we do. It’s the best I can do right now. And it’s a whole lot easier with an extra set of hands.

My twins are almost 20 months old and I've taken them out by myself literally once. I always have either my mom or my fiance with me if I'm taking them out of the house it's just sooo overwhelming to even think about it with twins alone.

I have an 11 month old, and we hardly ever go out. Same. 0 energy vibes 😅 I always feel guilty when I hear about super mom's doing activities and going play centres. But hey ho.

Same here, I have twins 10 months old and a 2 year old. I can no longer carry a twin in the baby carrier and don't have a buggy board so don't even know how I'd manage on my own I always wait till someone is around. I also feel awful as I have a 14 year old and we were always out 😫

Mine are 23 months and eldest is 5. We go out to shops etc but only where the twins are in the pushchair or a twin trolley. When weather is better I'll take them to parks where it's small and completely fenced off but not anywhere open on my own. Not worth the stress of one wandering off.

Mine are 14 months. I’ve always found it difficult I have a 2 year old aswell, this is why I sent her to preschool so she at least gets out because it’s so hard with twins x

I take mine out every day for walks but it took me 10 months of their life to build courage 😅 I take them right after their nap after feeding them so they’re in good moods and full. If they whinge in the pram I give them puffs to snack on, it keeps them quiet. Keep trying you’ll get there 🥰

I have 23 months old twin boys. My mom guilt was killing me because of this, so when they were 8 months old i started taking them out by myself. But it was hell. One running in one direction, the other one running in another direction. I was shocked and sweating profusely. So then i actually asked here on Peanut from other twin moms, how do they manage, turns out, people dont take twins out by themselves 🤷‍♀️ i dont feel as guilty anymore. And u shouldnt either. Twins are fucking hard.

The only time I take my triplets out is if I absolutely have to, ie school runs for my older kids or doctors appointments 😂 it’s just such a hassle and you have to pack soooo much stuff

I've gone through stages... I have 17 month old twins and a nearly 3 Yr old. Absolutely fucking not in a going out with them alone stage right now... when the twins were up to 7 months old yep could just manage, when they were around 13-14 months yes. Now, nope, nope and nope. Not until they can talk more or the weather gets better.

I have 4 month girls and I’ve taken them out once by myself, and that was a dr appt. I’ve been lucky enough that my husband is available to go to most appts with me, and we work really hard to tag team most things with them. I really want to feel confident in taking them out together by myself, but I also have no shame in being a kid-leash mom, and tethering them to me or each other. We’ll see how that goes once they’re mobile!

It's really hard to take twins out solo. I promise you it gets so much easier once they're walking confidently and safe to have a bit more independence on the climbing frame, slide, beach park. Even play groups and rhyme time etc is more exhausting with twins. Go easy on yourself, keep doing your best and you can only do what you can do. If you have the budget you could get a babysitter to help you for an hour or 2 so you have an extra pair of hands xx

I started taking them out alone at 7 months old, and have done so since, 9 months old now. I only think it’s manageable because they’re strapped in their pram so I’m making the most of it until they’re up and about!! I was so anxious about doing it, and I think certain things made it easier I.e being able to feed them in the pram, napping in the pram. I couldn’t have done it alone any earlier.
