[@heathergarcia255]

Awe I love seeing little Chicago Bears fans! Love it!!

[@kristeno406]

Omg I'm not the only one who loves the way you say "suscribe"!!! :)

[@hraemcearchern]

With newborn twins, y'all still seem so organized haha I'm expecting my first so i feel like watching y'all is mentally preparing me so crazy!

[@lynnmoehrle]

You guys are so adorable!! Sweetest little family!!

[@karriegott3692]

LOL!! Brad's reaction to the muffins made me laugh! Love you guys! Enjoy your beautiful babies!

[@lisabennett2490]

I love you guys!! You both are so sweet and sooooo deserving to be chosen to be Bear and Lyndles parents!!

[@gaylemacdonell6530]

I noticed you are using cloth diapers! YAY! New mom expecting twins here & very seriously considering cloth. What brand have you found works? Thanks

[@lauradantin6578]

Hey! I’ve been watching your videos since you were about 20 weeks pregnant! We were pregnant with twins at the same time, and I️ always looked forward to your pregnancy blogs! My twin boys were born November 29. Just wanted to say hello! I️ love watching y’all!!

[@MRSlittleone25]

I just love you guys! I’m in the same boat as you but not with twins! I have a 9 week old little girl. I do have to say night time has gotten easier. What has worked for me. Nap with noise and lights on during the day and bedtime feed and put down in dark with a night light. It gets them used to knowing it’s bed time. Also you might not think they are gassy but they are. You should try the frida baby windi’s. AMAZING! they are very weird and gross but amazing! They were almost life changing! You guys are doing amazing!

[@laurene1389]

I did the exact same thing when my kids were babies using the Nutribullet in the bathroom! Smoothie tip I love--freeze your overripe bananas and then you'll have them on hand to throw in smoothies!

[@doggoqueen9092]

OMG and you’re bears fans! Things just keep getting better cause me too!

[@daniellegibson8387]

I loved your shirt Rachel. What does the compound make? This video gives me goosebumps with how well you have organized their schedule. Thanks for your pumpin pal review. Super job on your day alone too.

[@BradandRach]

Thanks Danielle! It’s caffeine-Brad got it for me a long time ago because I’m a coffee addict!

[@TheEshleman687]

It's so funny how I stumbled on your channel and come to find out the twins picture is in one of my residents room of where I work and come to find its brads grandma I take care of! I talk to his aunt Cindy and she was shocked lol so if you ever come up to dixon I told Cindy she better let me know because I'd love to meet you guys and those beautiful babies!! ♡♡ -ashlynn

[@-pokey-slime-8875]

Your babies are sooo cute. I love them 💓💓

[@trinityharpham6978]

Buffalo chicken wing dip! Soooo good.

[@kimbazz1633]

Food prepping is a good idea. Where do you get your containers at?

[@serrenamarie]

There is also something called witching hour with babies as well. It's just like an hour or so where nothing makes them happy and their just going to be fussy till their ready to calm down. Y'all are doing awesome btw 💜

[@leighhowe9601]

Cutest twins ever!

[@BradandRach]

Thanks Leigh!

[@robynwilson842]

So I’m not suggesting this to you as a pushy mom. In the days before the new wave of doctors decided that babies need to wait till they are 6 months old to eat food, most babies were given a little bit of rice cereal at night, either from a spoon or mixed in their bottle before bed. Just a tsp or so. My kids all started rice cereal by 4 weeks, and all 3 slept through the night by 6 weeks. Us old school moms also started fruits and veggies by 3 months. It’s been documented that babies who started early didn’t have food allergies the way that babies do now.

[@thesunshinefactory3016]

I am.gonna take this advice and use it when I have a baby.thank You.power to you mom💕

[@valerielauretta67]

Some great advice i got with my twins was to create a routine. To do everything at the same time of night every night. Bath time...feeding ect. That way they will start to realize its bed time😉

[@sallycroft2191]

I noticed both babies are filling out. Lyndle in the face and Bear all over. Just know while you are so tired this stage doesn't last forever. Love the team work for night routine, with everything all set up. Due to complications of severe hemorraging and almost lost my life, after birth of my twins. My Mom flew 3,000 miles and stayed for 2.5 months. She was a God send. My husband was coping with newborn twins and a very ill wife in hospital..

[@jessicaplumley1762]

Lolol I love the way you say subscribe too, Brad! Rach you are officially super mom! I’ll say it over and over - mad respect for you, sis! Xoxox kiss thems babies for me!

[@Melboo08WeightLoss]

So cute. They are growing so fast but you guys are seriously such amazing parents. And brad you totally got caught instead of red headed we will say "chocolate chipped lipped" lol and now its 4 am and I want waffles 😂. Thanks

[@cath8113]

Can I suggest feeding time before bed? Quiet no lights no tv no talking. My kids slept through the night at 6 weeks. It was the best advice I ever received. They are adorable. Enjoy every moment

[@BradandRach]

We started doing this! We contemplated it earlier, but since you said this, we are doing it!

[@kathrynmolesa1641]

Oh, I forget that we used to eat in shifts, too Some things we like to forget.

[@shelzgaskin]

I found my son was really fussy every few weeks (more than normal as he was a terribly colic baby) when he was experiencing a 'Wonder Week' which is essentially a week of growth spurts/learning something new. Theres an app i think that tells u all about it and tells u when they could be expected to be in a wonder week as well which is handy. It costs from memory but was really handy :)

[@theresetucker44]

Fenugreek for lactation Rachel. Its brilliant. Give it a go. Love you guys. Xxx

[@danielleantony9971]

Therese Tucker yeah! But it makes u smell of Curry lol my armpits smelt of Curry ☝🏻😂🙈😂

[@theresetucker44]

danielle daffers haha thats hilarious. Its a really well known natural lactation booster tho.

[@danielleantony9971]

Deffo lol I used that and brewers yeast and Mum said drink Guiness x

[@kristysmith4389]

I saw something called Mom Sense, The Smart Breastfeeding Meter. It hooks up to the baby and to an app on your phone while they are nursing and it can read how much they are eating. It might be worth looking into 😊

[@muh_darling]

I’ve been wanting to ask...when did you start going for walks(after having the twins) and how long were they?

[@BradandRach]

Oh probably around a week after they were born and started with like 5 minutes jaunts! It felt great!

[@hannahwalker2482]

I agree, babies definitely cry for no reason sometimes 😂 I wouldn't get too excited about less night feedings, no offense! My four month old still wakes up pretty much every 3 hours to eat and has since birth (even being formula fed). Something I've found that really helps is getting in a good nighttime routine and getting used to an early bedtime. My son sleeps 7-7 (with feedings) and having those few hours alone with my spouse at night makes a HUGE difference, even knowing I'll be waking up to feed him.

[@heatherlielester8535]

I had the same with my youngest. I found out that putting her in a swing bc she wanted to always move and it helped a lot with getting things done in the house

[@paytonrobles3113]

My husband is a bears fan and i showed him the thumbnail to the vid! And he was like those are some smart parents! Hahah

[@nicolechambers738]

Just wanted to share some good news, I'm able to bring another Chiefs fan into this world!! After three and a half years of infertility, 4 failed IUI's, one failed fresh transfer, we finally were successful with our one and only remaining embryo! The second beta is tomorrow, after which I will start buying the Chief's onesies!!

[@BradandRach]

YAY!!!!! GO CHIEFS!! So happy for you

[@hollytree2927]

I loved my pediatrician for Caleb. I went to him for the two month check-up and said, hey doc, how long can a two month old go without food comfortably? Like eight hours? Sure, he said, they can go 12 if you want. 12!!? I will settle for eight. That night, playtime was OVER! He bawled, I bawled. We both went to sleep exhausted and he never woke up at night for hunger again. Life was sweet! And then there was teething. Oh well....😂

[@SuzanneKent1]

Rachel, will you be returning to work? Or will you stay home until you move?

[@BradandRach]

I’ll be staying home until we move :)

[@mickiedelosreyes5481]

SuzanneK 9

[@mickiedelosreyes5481]

Oops

[@samanthaallen349]

You should make a video talking about your breast feeding/ pumping experience,lactation, pumping routine,etc.

[@mandiesimons4676]

We had wings pizza and chips and 7 layer dip

[@BradandRach]

Love love love 7 layer dip!

[@Adoptivemomx2]

I’m vegetarian- what protein shake do you like most? Bear is growing so much! They both are but I really see it in him! Cutest twins for sure! Also, your sweet neighbor hasn’t been in any videos- is she still living near you guys?

[@shelleyt8707]

You were saving that chocolate chip for a yummy post breakfast treat lol ☺️

[@BradandRach]

Exactly! :D

[@cherylallen3363]

Why did you blend your smoothie in the bathroom and not the kitchen?

[@BradandRach]

As a new Mom I was worried to wake them, but now I vacuum, Rusty barks, and just act normal. They sleep through anything - it’s great!

[@cherylsutherland]

FTM... I have an almost 5 month old and when she hit 4 to 5 weeks she cried every evening for 2 weeks despite being fed, changed, burped, and having slept. It got to the point where I took her to the emergency because she was crying as if she was in pain (her temp was normal and all the necessities of life were taken care of) and after checking her all they told me was that babies cry lol

[@peytoncollins3535]

homemade buffalo dip or wings

[@BradandRach]

Yum!

[@autumnblevins6669]

Hey I am you biggest fan I love your vids i watch them everyone you post you are my favorite KZbinr I have been there ever since you found out you where prego

[@BradandRach]

That is so awesome! We hope you are enjoying our journey as much as we are!

[@HelloCarolineKate]

My baby is 3 months and walks still fix it 👌🏼

[@BradandRach]

Good to hear!!

[@foreverbelive00]

Those muffins sound delicious!

[@atarishao7499]

My favorite Superbowl food is tacos but anytime is good for tacos 😂

[@jenniewhite6633]

We call that the witching hour. Lol

[@meghangossett3091]

Give them a bath, feed them and swaddle them. And white noise are your friends

[@haleyb1606]

Sounds like a growth spurt! My little 6 week old breastfed baby is constantly eating!

[@129kittykati]

Do what you eat in a day as a breast feeding mom I need help getting my milk higher because my son is tough tight

[@hollytree2927]

Brad......that food up the nose thing works for Rusty but come on now! LOL

[@Cjunn]

Hi Rach... You are doing sooooo good! -Fantastic Mama! But read the book 'bringing up bebe', then maybe your twins will sleep through the nights within the next few months. -Just an idea ;)

[@ervinkids2310]

Check out The Wonder Weeks. I used the app for our last and it was so helpful

[@familybengtson]

Ervin kids yesss! They are for sure moving in to that Stormy period. 6wk growth spurt

[@shelzgaskin]

I just suggested this too! Definitely sounds like a wonder week :)

[@ackatt2121]

Yes! I live by this app. Helps so much explain what they are going through.

[@BUFFY12338]

Pizza!

[@129kittykati]

Wings

[@mandiesimons4676]

I just had surgery yesterday so I’m in bed in pain right now

[@marsworld7513]

Mandie Simons Hope you feel better soon.

[@mandiesimons4676]

TYVM mars

[@mandiesimons4676]

The pain pills help I had surgery to get endometriosis burned

[@marsworld7513]

Mandie Simons My sister had that done. I feel for ya it's rough.

[@mandiesimons4676]

It’s not easy

[@taylormurphy4462]

SUSCRIBE!

[@cherylallen3363]

I had 4 live births and none of them had Colic or “Purple Crying”. They cried to be fed and then they were content and crying stopped. I don’t understand why “doctors” now say all babies have colic. Sorry but that is not true. If your babies cry it is for a reason. Either they need to be burped, soothed, fed or their diaper changed. Watch what you eat so your food is not too spicy for your babies. Trust your own judgment on your babies and relax. You will notice they will have growth spurts and they will be needing to nurse more often to build their milk supply. So be prepared they will cry to want to eat. Then there is teething. All my babies teethed early. My first born had two bottom teeth at four months. My youngest had two bottom teeth before she was three months. Every baby is different so don’t rely on books to solve your problems. Use what God gave you, your instincts and you will get through this just fine.

[@williamfrncs6]

Pizza, wings, ginger ale

[@BradandRach]

That’s an interesting combo! For some reason, I love ginger ale when I’m flying!

[@trinityharpham6978]

In regards to the sleep: just remember you’re on the same team, not playing against each other. I heard you say “that wasn’t fair” and cringed a little bit 😅

[@jessepeters6514]

TOTALLY true about fussiness peaking around 6 weeks. I wish I had known that the first time around! Everything got easier after that!!

[@BradandRach]

That is good to know!

[@familybengtson]

They are going in to that 6wk growth spurt. So they will be nursing more and being a little Fussy

[@lea2839]

Love you guys but saying you kept the babies alive is really hurtful for those of us who lost children to SIDs and SUDC( sudden unexplained death in children 1-18years old) I lost my 20 month old to SUDC. He went to bed and didn't wake up and there is no cause of death. I love watching you guy to brighten my day, so I just thought I would share. For more info you can visit the SUDC foundation at SUDC.org. Xoxo

[@BradandRach]

We are so heartbroken to hear this :( We can't imagine what that was like. Sooo incredibly sorry for your loss.

[@patseemore5019]

Time for first growth spurt,,,,,,,,They'll be fine.

[@lorimitchell9025]

What is your husbands job

[@BradandRach]

We are both Optometrist 👀
