Twin Pregnancy Q&A! Having more kids? Cravings? Sleep training? + More!

[@amandahowey9928]

I love how you describe it... "I am not good at making milk, but its ok because its great at other things." I love this mentality. I feel like people put so much unnecessary pressure on breastfeeding & it can spiral into an unhealthy head space.

[@taylorwelleford8163]

Yes! I am a firm believer in Brest feeding but with my second baby he just wasn’t growing I was HEART BROKEN when they told me he HAD to be put on formula people don’t understand how hard it is the whole “Brest feeding is the best thing y out can do for your baby” while yes that’s true sometimes that’s not an option in order to have a growing healthy baby

[@sarahkamolz7197]

I’m so glad Jordan shared her milk struggles. I don’t breast feed because I struggle to make milk on top of being super stressed and uncomfortable with it! Its so nice to hear someone say, “Do what you gotta do!”

[@lsansing1783]

If women's bodies failed to make milk as much as society says they do we would have long since ceased to exist as a human race. Simply put the biggest problem with moms and breastmilk is that it is supply and demand. Jordan is so busy she doesn't slow down enough in the beginning to nurse often enough to get a good supply going. I have seen the schedule videos she did when she had very small babies. Sometimes newborns eat every hour during a growth spurt. If you are willing to feed that often (or pump often enough to make enough milk) then sure, you will need formula.

[@amyheelis-cannon811]

@Bec Hermon they don't ask on a college application if you were breast fed or not is what a nurse told me when I was trying to breast feed.

[@fayhares]

That was my thought as well, I command her for not succumbing to stereotypes and unnecessary mom shaming. Her body knows how to carry a baby and get it to a healthy point, doesn't matter if it does not turn into a milk factory, no one cares, and that is a healthy mindset to have. In my culture, we don't put so much emphasis on breastfeeding, my mom used to stop as soon as we would start biting lol

I have 2.5 month old triplets. My advice is nothing that you dont already know: relax, things aren't ever perfect and expecting them to be so would just add stress.

My Grandmother told me that the twins were the easiest to raise out of five others, Let them sleep together because they will suck each others thumbs and will cuddle each other and sleep thru the night. They will entertain each other and you don't have too. They babysit each other all of the time. I hope you have twins that will do all of this!!! I thought this was so interesting Had to share!!!

[@savannahherrera8280]

We have Irish triplets (The babies were born 25 months apart) The 2 older babies are the same age for 5 days (Irish twins) we can not separate them for anything! The baby girl climbs in the baby boys crib to sleep with him. They are also Leos so they have a love/hate fun relationship.

[@szvetlana1000]

Craigand Amber I feel the same! My oldest one (2.5 yr old) learned not to ask me to do the fun stuff eg picking her up, chasing her or any sort of physical play during my pregnancy and even after that. I feel like I missed out on important bonding opportunities.

[@haggiefatigue2971]

Ladies, my mother just said yesterday that she feels guilty about having three kids so close together that she couldn't give us the individual attention we all needed. I reminded her that we all got to grow up TOGETHER as siblings and wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

[@kimberlygage9206]

Twin momma here! They are so much fun and it is absolutely amazing to watch the bond that they have with each other 😊 Best advice I ever got, "Make sure that if one baby is awake that you wake up the other one or you will never sleep again!" My twins were on the exact same schedule, they ate, slept, and pooped at the same time...you do not realize how important that is until you are 4 hours deep in to feedings, burpings, rockings, & diaper changes @ 3 a.m. that never end!

You'll get in the groove. Going from my 1st to my 2nd was easy. They are 8 years apart. And the oldest is a very girl. Going from my 2nd to my 3rd was crazy. They are 4 years apart and both boys. So my kids are now ages 13, 5 and 1. The first year with 2 boys was tough. My middle son is extremely high energy. Very busy. Goes non stop. I work full time and am on call 24/7. We have no family in the area so if their daycare is closed they go to work with me. Or I sometimes can adjust my schedule to work from home. I keep my house picked up but my standards are definitely lower than they were 2 kids ago. 😂 Hang in there. You've got this! ❤

Yes it’s tough I’m a stay at home mom as well and my children are 9,7,5,3 and 11 months😅 both my grandmothers on my mother and fathers side had a set of boy/girl twins. I am hoping I get this blessing. And even though my team of 5 drive me up and down and all around. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Just think one day when we are old we will see all of our hard work through their beautiful characters. But even before we are old we will see it. When I think about the women who struggle to even get pregnant and we have been bless with pregnancy after pregnancy how Generous God is. Don’t feel bad we will get through the overwhelming days.💞💕💞💕💞💕

[@dinape]

Twin mom here: I nursed mine with back to back feedings. Tandem was a great idea, but burping babies part of the way through was very challenging, especially when they were tiny with no head support and falling asleep during feedings. I had one who would spit up terribly. It was just easier to do them one after the other. When one woke up for feeding during the night, I would wake the other right after so everyone could be fed and go back down to sleep.

[@terriej2246]

Creative Minds Homeschool This is exactly my advice as well. I have b/g twins and 4 others. I tried tandem nursing at first but they are so floppy! And yes, waking up the second baby to eat is my number one advice for twin mommas. It goes against your nature to wake a sleeping baby, though!

[@Sheri19903]

You're doing great! Twins are so fun and you just do everything twice, (diapers, feeding etc) which is easier than it sounds--it's like doing it once but it just takes a little longer. I would nurse one (of my fraternal twins) while giving a bottle to the other and then switch. I didn't like nursing them at the same time...I wanted that "special time" with each one. Your babies will be so entertained watching the other kids and it keeps them happy which is such a huge help! One thing I do remember...when I was "home alone", having a safe place to put the twins in (like a playpen or whatever they have now) was a lifesaver for me if I had to run out of the room for any reason or in case my 3 1/2 year old needed me in the other room. I knew the babies were safe and they are comforted by having each other anyway. We're so excited for you! Sending so much love!

[@917viewer]

“a little square of edited bliss” = not reality 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I wish I had ditched the perfectionism when my kids were young. I finally crashed when they were teenagers. I lost about 18 mos. to depression but it taught me the most beautiful but painful lessons and ultimately I’m grateful for the experience. No regrets!

I've been a multiples nanny for years. My biggest piece of advice is take all of the help! Hire help, beg for help, accept the help lol I'm sure you know that but it's always worth saying. Also, if you can get your twins on the same schedule and keep them there (usually a professional nanny, dula, or sleep specialist can help after the first couple months of survival) is going to go so far! This will help you to get more done because you wont be constantly bouncing from twin to twin for sleeping and eating schedules. And just enjoy yourself, try to find time to love yourself and love those sweet babies! They're only that size for so long and it's truly magical ❤

[@jennifercarlson7459]

Hi Jordan! As a mom of triplets my advice to you in this moment of "calm before the storm" is to familiarize yourself with what to expect in the NICU. With luck your babies will spend very little time there, or maybe even none at all. But statistically, they are likely to be there for at least a few days. The NICU can be scary and overwhelming for parents. Lots of alarms, beeps, and buzzing, tiny babies hooked to giant machines, etc. It's all good, and the very best place for your littles to be if they need to be there, but still scary (especially when you have all those pregnancy hormones raging around inside you!). There are several good books out there, so you might want to just browse through one of them to see what might be in store. It's all gonna be fine in the end, just keep your chin up! God bless you and your family! :)

I couldn't produce a drop for either of my kids and I still feel serious mom guilt about it. I had a lactation specialist who made me feel like the worst mother in the world, basically told me not to feed my baby till I started producing milk.

[@kami8551]

Crystal Flannery Same, people who produce milk easily have no clue. They just tell us to continue to feed all day and never supplement.. blah blah. I tried all of that and my first baby’s pics he looks scary skinny because I didn’t supplement the whole first month because of a lactation specialist telling me that. My second baby I hoped to produce more but was fast to supplement when I knew he was still hungry. I wish more people knew that not everyone can produce enough even if you do all of the tips. And that there’s nothing wrong with supplementing.

[@crystalflannery5204]

I tried everything. Extra water, lactation tea, lactation cookies, lactation candy, pumping constantly, mammary massage. Nothing worked. Even with my first baby I didn't listen when the specialist told me not to supplement. I kinda gave hear the middle finger over the phone and went and bought formula. I may be young but I'm not dumb.

You are going to do wonderful!!!!!

I became a first time mom with my twin boys. They are now 9 years old and I’m loving every minute of it. They were premies, they stayed in the NICU for about a month. It was a bitter sweet situation, I hated having to go home without them, but while I was there, the nurses taught me to care for them and how to keep them in a 30 minutes feeding gaps. I never had them crying at the same time, I stuck with the 30minute gap schedule and took my time feeding them individually and enjoyed them one at a time. You’ll do great, your already an awesome mom and great schedule keeper , enjoy your babies ☺️☺️

"I have a hundred million children" 🤣

[@catelizabeth130]

As a mom to a 24 week preemie who is struggling ttc #2. I love watching you and your family but sometimes it's hard. Sometimes it sucks. This video helped. Your gratitude and appreciation towards pregnancy is so positive. You are so lucky. ❤

[@mamatofive1]

Ahh I can’t wait to “meet” those babies!! 😍 I can’t imagine how busy it must be having twin babies! I know you’ll rock at it like you do at everything else!

[@eileenhoffmann2422]

Jordan,my parents had 7 kids.They were poor when my brothers and sisters were young,but we all somehow made it through. Now our parents have passed and we are so grateful that we have each other. Cant imagine life without them!!!!!

[@hayleyturner2928]

Sorry long comment! 🙈 Im sure you know this already but be prepared that you may need to stay in hospital for a while! (Which makes things sooo hard with other kids and spouse!!!) My first born was prem at 33 weeks and we were seriously not expecting it. I literally went to the hospital with my notes and that's it!!! (Didnt take a wallet or anything!) He was in hospital for 3 weeks which I spent pretty much all my time there except for the few nights I was basically sent home because they didnt have space for me and I just left REALLY late and got back up there REALLY early. (Leaving them is HARD!) But he was my only child so could spend all my time there. Second child was born with a congenital heart defect which required open heart surgery when she was born (luckily this was detected during pregnancy so we came prepared!). She was also in for 3 weeks (had the surgery at 13 days old) and it was soooo much harder as I couldnt just stay at the hospital all the time because i had another child to spend time with!! So although we stayed in accommodation by the hospital splitting time between babies bedside/and the other child (or in your case children) is not only tough on you and the kids (seriously mum guilt gets real!!) But I found me and husband hardly saw each other because we were constantly tag teaming, one at the bedside, while the other spent time with our son and then we'd swap. It was tough. Not saying this to scare you and I hope you can go as full term as possible and come home with gorgeous healthy babies straight away 🤞but if they are likely to be prem, then I'd definitely make a plan that would involve a hospital stay! And how to divide your time between babies, older kids and husband! And if if that does happen just remember it feels like forever at the time but it's actually such a short time in the long run! Good luck guys, wishing you all the best and cant wait to see the little cuties when you're ready too! ❤💙

[@lindastrandquist2429]

I also had preemies with my second pregnancy. I was in the hospital july 22 with them due to arrive in October. Surprise I went into labour In August. At 29 weeks. Terrible delivery lost kne at 5 days old then had to be away from home for an additional 2 months until my baby was strong enough to go home. I had a three year old at home that didn't see me for most of 3 months as I was 7 hours away from home for 2 months,then two hours away from home for 1 month. But it wicked hard but you do what you need to do. Hope your children are healthy now.

[@hayleyturner2928]

Awww that sounds awful! Poor you! Both of mine are fine now! To look at them, (minus my daughters scar,) you would never know anything happened when they were born! They're both mental and happily running rings around mummy! 😂

[@ccgreen83]

Thanks for the reminder that no one is a super human. I am a mom of three girls ages 8,3 1/2, and 5 months. I work 4 days outside of my home, and opposite shifts from my husband so we don’t have to pay for child care. I am struggling daily, but this was a good reminder that mom’ing is hard, and it’s perfectly fine that I don’t always have it all together. Congrats! I love your channel!

[@TheFreezeDryQueen]

My take away message from this was when you spoke about being an anti perfectionist! That resonated with me, I’m a mom of 4; I also work from home full time, I homeschool, and I recently started college. It is DANG hard. I got B’s in my classes, and you know what? That’s OK! I’m mommin’, working, schooling, & my people eat! Thanks Jordan! ❤️

[@meaganrohler3636]

The Freeze Dry Queen Wow, You are an incredible mom! That’s an overload. I was homeschooled in a family of five, but my mom was done college and we were her full time job. Congratulations on your B’s. Honestly that’s incredible! Keep it up and remember to take deep breaths. It can be hard, but you work harder. :) I hope you can get some help sometimes!!

[@cecymxrgxrita]

The Freeze Dry Queen love your comment! How amazing! Keep it going momma! I homeschool my 5 year old and I work from home part time and I love to do both! Now that I’m pregnant with my second it’s been hard with feeling sick/fatigued/etc. (hubby helps when he’s not at work) but comments like yours keep me going!

[@Morgan6526]

Im a mom of almost 10 year old twins. My major advice is when one wakes up to eat in the middle of the night wake the other if they are sleeping...it was amazing to get them synched on the same schedule and leads to more duration of sleep at one time for you.

[@irenatheginger2491]

When you're wicked early and first. Big families are fun to watch and to see how they do things to keep order in place and chaos from taking over.

[@stephaniesnow7638]

I’ve just come upon your channel and HONESTLY your videos resonate with me on such a deep level. My productivity has been in the toilet since I had a huge career change and moved back in with my parents. I have no kids yet (except my boyfriend’s daughter / future stepdaughter!) but your videos make me so inspired. I just started my Total Money Makeover to get debt free and your family makes me SO inspired to keep pushing myself to be more productive and more frugal and simple! I want a big family and honestly your take on not worrying and letting go of things you can’t control just SPEAKS TO ME! Sorry for the novel. Just thank you ❤️

[@stephanie5173]

I hope you do a nursery reveal I'd love to see how you do their room.

[@kendriahall5983]

My fraternal twins are 11 year olds, just listening to this brings back memories. For the past few years, they've been asking and praying for a sister or twin sisters, so whatever the good Lord wills for my hubby and I, will be.

[@goose7574]

For breastfeeding, my Mom says breastfeed at the same time. The double football hold and then just relax. Then you aren't nursing 24/7. I can totally relate with breastfeeding. You can only do what you can do. 💖

[@tinadyck4495]

Congratulations on the twins! I love how you emphasize that you’re not super human so that other moms know you don’t do it alone. Mom of 3, + 2 miscarriages and 1 stillbirth in the last two years. Hoping & praying for another one but trying to use your mentality “only time will tell” ❤️❤️❤️

[@b.stellnberger4735]

I bought my girlfriend the breastfeeding feeding pillow that was featured on shark tank 4 or 5 years ago and she loved it for her twins she said so worth it

[@heatherhaslam-smith413]

By four months I thought I was going to lose my mind because I was just going from baby to baby without a break. Then someone told me to keep the twins within 15 minutes of each other for wake up times etc. . Sticking to that within reason REALLY helped!

[@brittnyi2827]

Good job on the video Jordan! I appreciate you being so open and real :)

[@annebehnke945]

Momma of twin now 13 year old boys. My advice to any new momma is to take your time to find your new normal. What I learned from having twins is to let go. Accept help, even ask for it. And sometimes you can look into the future but sometimes all you can do is look to the next breathe. Oh and if you have 2 crying babies, fix the first one completely before getting the second one, otherwise the first will start back up again. The second one will be okay. I learned to tandem breastfeed very quickly, which helped

[@simplystacy5747]

Love this! Where’s your cardigan from? Looks mega comfy!

[@suzannegogranogo9464]

I liked the cardigan too.

[@jocbaker]

Me too, i really want to know!

[@tinawall1984]

Mi to

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I’ve always prayed and wanted twins SO bad too!!!!! 🌟❤️❤️ you’re giving me hope mama

[@susannehiller6077]

Regarding the always asked questsion: How do you do it? I am pregnant with my 6ths and what you said in another video totally stuck with me: After motivation comes dedication! I see that in you and I feel that in me. Love your videos!

[@lizt9243]

Omg... So many similarities.... I'm almost 30 weeks too!! Both are boys, di di twins!!! Same overwhelming shock excitement crying for a few days hahaha... Failed first glucose test, passed second one!!! Basically feeling the same as my other pregnancies!!! Hoping babies stay in as long as possible!

[@jordanpagecompany]

It's like WE'RE twins! ❤️

[@SNOWQueen87-v1g]

You've got your own football team. You a great mom.

[@catherineszczepaniak577]

Twin mama here, you so have the energy for this!! One thing that helped me a lot in the last few months of twin pregnancy was the Brewer Twin Diet- it helps keep them in as long as possible. My first (Singleton) was a 33 weeker and my twins were born at 38 weeks. The Valco Tri-Mode Twin Stroller was a life saver stroller for 3 littles. One thing that helped a lot was having a night nanny once a week. She would come at 9 pm, wash and fold kids laundry, feed the twins during the night and my husband and I would sleep for 8 blissful hours..or as long as I could without nursing anyway. I'm sure you've read this but when one is hungry, wake up and feed the other one, it will help you in the long run. Enjoy every minute and take lots of pictures, because you won't remember the first year. If there weren't pictures to document that first year I couldn't even tell you whose house we went to for Christmas. ;-)

[@danathwaites3612]

Another fun fact that I learnt when I was pregnant with my fraternal boy/girl twins is that twins only run through the female line. For example my dad or my grandfather couldn't make me release 2 eggs because they obviously don't release eggs

[@mrstrice420]

Dana Thwaites I had a family member try to argue with me on this. I kept saying “no, I’m the one who releases the egg!” 😂😂😂

[@زينةعبدالسلام]

jess.and.company awwwwwww

[@spakayi5493]

Hey Jordan I'm so blessed to be watching your videos now. Since my hubby and I were courting, we established that we both wanted boy girl twins. We have been praying to the Lord for them, and God heard us over these 6 years of prayer. We are now 8weeks pregnant with twins. We are so excited. I'm learning alot from the way you do life with the kids and with your hubby. Pregnancy is a gift from God for sure. And I love that you mention this. I will try my best to also not complain about the tough parts but make most of all the great moments.

[@jordanpagecompany]

How exciting for you! Twins are so fun.

[@simplybusymom5982]

Girl, your body was made to have babies... you look GORGEOUS!! 😍

[@jordanpagecompany]

You are TOO sweet! Thank you!!

[@KateScherb]

Currently 29 weeks pregnant with di/di twins. Starting to struggle a bit compared to my Singleton pregnancies. 😅 so excited for this journey for us!

[@jordanpagecompany]

Congratulations!!

[@jeniferj]

@7:40 @8:50 thinks while listening to this 1 - the arugula and the cream cheese and crackers is for the girl 2 - the pizza pockets are for the boy! BTW, anyone else notice how amazingly her bed colour coordinates her set up with hair makeup clothes? Nice styling Jordan! :-) pps your nails are on point also love the shade!

[@amber-starrboissoneau6479]

Seriously, best formatted video. What a great time for Mory to walk in on your video. Really decreased the high emotions you were having and timed appropriately regarding the help your getting for the kiddos. Great video! I love your honesty.

[@tammyandm.e.8843]

It’s funny but I always reference you as “a friend of mine told me this...” to my family and then I correct myself and say, “well Jordan from fun cheaporfree, lol, you know what I mean!” And they nod and smile at me lol 🥰😊☺️ #embarrassedfreeb♥️

[@MsSusieStone]

Living A Beautiful Life I do that too, so no need to feel embarressed 😉

[@serenanicolemarshall]

I absolutely love how transparent you are.

[@goallgirlie]

"I am an anti-perfectionist" - i just love that!

[@toysreviews123]

I just found out about your channel and girl... 8 kids🙈 💕 I am pregnant for the first time and it takes a lot to adjust to it even though it's the best thing ever and I'm beyond grateful for it🤰 I can't imagine what being pregnant with twins is like. So much respect for you🤩🤩🤩

[@sarahhunter4992]

My twins are 3 months old (how did that happen!?) and I have 2 others (2 years old and almost 4). What works for me is having them on a routine. I do tandem nurse, but I produce ridiculous insane amounts of milk, so supplementing is unnecessary for us. The best advice I can give is definitely ask for and accept help especially in those first 6 weeks! I had a scheduled csection (identical boys with a shared placenta) so I couldn’t lift my older kids during that time, and having help around was crucial

[@sarahrigby1341]

Jordan, what you said about wanting twins resonates so strongly with me. I've also felt so strongly about twins since I was little. When I got married, I found out my husband feels the same way. I would feel so incredibly blessed if twins did come to our family someday. We are just starting to try for children, and I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for our future. Thank you so much for sharing your story, your experiences and your inspiration. You've created a community that I love being a part of!!

[@debb9695]

Every pregnancy is a blessing, and it may never happen again, thus enjoy the aches n pains etc. Hospital bag, take lemon drops, or a fave hard candy. My mouth was always so dry in hospital, and it was a real treat while nursing/learning to nurse.

[@amyblack9134]

I have to chime in and say YEAH FOR EXTRA HELP! We were blessed to be able to hire someone when I was pregnant with my 4th and it has been an absolute GAME CHANGER. To have someone you trust with your kids to allow you a little time to breath, especially with a newborn(s), is so wonderful. Glad you guys are able to make it happen!

[@itsthecomptons6216]

Omygoodness! I’m 29 weeks with twin girls and I feel like I’m 93 weeks pregnant lol the only things that have “doubled” (besides the babies 😂) is the discomfort and the crazy baby movements.

[@MaryDavidson911]

Oh! Biggest tip is don’t tell your kids no all the time. Steer them in the right direction and let them BE!!! It expands there mind and hunger for knowledge. I have always loved my twins, good luck you’ll do great!

[@ashleyrimel2652]

Spread cream cheese on ham and wrap around a pickle!!! Holy moly best thing ever!!! I ate that with all 4 of my pregnancies and when I had morning sickness I would eat plain Pringles that I eventually started dipping in cream cheese.

[@elishab6521]

Pickle wraps yes! Sooooo yummy

[@lynkahelfman7204]

I had 4 children in 6 yrs. You do what you have to do. Trust in God. I worked part-time, was a Cherub Choir Director of (2 yr olds through 2nd grade)...yes 2 year olds!!! Back then was a budget, a schedule, learning as I went along. My husband worked a lot which left me doing things alone but truthfully, it worked for me. You pray a lot and go with the flow. I actually miss those crazy moments. My children are now 42-40-38-36. 7 grandkids.... life is good!! Blessings to you!!

[@geminigurl92]

I just really adore you and love your personality. 💕

[@brookemoffat8865]

I am currently 36 weeks pregnant with my second! It's been so fun to watch your journey at the same time! Definitely want to see a hospital bag and a newborn essentials video. If I had to pick an absolute must, it would be somewhere secure and off the ground to set down the babies near the kitchen and/or living room area. Also, as I'm sure you know, freezer meals are amazing! I even made 3lbs of cookie dough divided up into balls in the freezer for an easy treat after my second is born. Hopefully, I won't eat them all in the first week!

[@TillyMayJones]

I have 3 with the same age gap you're going to have. It felt like having triplets! It saved my sanity doing everything at the same time because even though they were boy/girl twins at 2 in the morning I still confused them, lol! Anything that doubled as an extra place to put a kiddo safely was magical. You'll find how you feel most comfortable feeding your babies I had the same problem with my milk and never mastered tandom feeding but my trick for bottles was sitting loosely crisscross and having one baby eating in the crook of my leg and the other in the crook of the opposite arm. Looked crazy but it worked and I didn't feel like I was missing out on the feeding snuggles. Mine liked two different bottles so it helped to try a couple different ones until we found the right fit. We kept it as simple as possible with twins but did eventually invest in a second baby swing and #noregrets. 😂 We let them sleep together until they got old enough that they wanted their own space. They seemed to do better that way for us when swaddled up and snuggled next to each other. (Now that they're toddlers my boys share a room because the twins are terrible influences on one another, lol!) I'm no pro but I survived with a ton of nighttime help from my husband and keeping everyone at a similar schedule I managed to stay sane. Asking for help and having conversations with people not about kids is something I should have done more of. Oh also prepare to explain how twins work and how you conceived them to everyone and their dog. They will never stop asking, lol. You will rise and rock this because you have to and they need you 🙂 All the good vibes for your adventure!

[@crystalgroves3335]

I have 3 kids, all girls! 6,5 & 1. I’ve only ever wanted 3 kids, my youngest child has a rare genetic disorder called Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and is medically needy. Having a medically needy child had solidified to me that she is our last one. I really admire your philosophy when it comes to your family
