Twins are 5 month old now and are not sleeping - time for sleep training! Everyone is exhausted and as always - I am sharing these hardships with you - so that noone is fooled into believing that motherhood is easy!

at 6 months they should start solids, be it cereal, mashed fruit and veggies......I think that would also help them sleep better
You are doing such an amazing job. We just sleep trained our 6 month old twins over the course of 2 weeks. IT. WAS. HARD. But so worth it! They are now falling asleep within 5 minutes for naps and sleeping 12 hours at night. You can do it, mama!

I am so happy for you! Itt's heartbreaking to let them cry, isn't it? But we are doing it as gentle as we can and it seems to be working , they are napping and sleeping at night so far.
Thank you for uploading your video! I love your videos! They are so real . I have never seen this much real vlog on KZread before….. I have 2 toddlers and 11 years old and I am struggling …. You have twin babies and two toddlers … I just don’t know how you do it … you are just amazing ❤

I could never handle 4 toddlers. Your super mom. Also you have a sick one. Prayers all gets easier for you.
I’ve just found your channel as I’m on maternity leave with my first baby who is 12 weeks old. You are an inspiration, I’m not sure how you do it and with a smile! You’ve got this Mama ❤

Thank you !! Congratulations!!!!!! You are a mama now!
I truly just wanted to hug you during this entire video. I've never had twins but I'm in baby 4 and it's just hard. Please take care of yourself and be kind to yourself. It's such a hard season of life. Your children are so loved and cared for and you're doing so great mama ❤

Hang in there, Jen. I feel for you when you look so tired after such a tiring day. At six months, I was putting a little rice cereal in my babies milk before bedtime, and they usually would sleep most of the night. They seemed to sleep better when they were full and satisfied. I hope you can get some relief with your twins so you can get other JENIA things done. You are a great mother.

Thank you Carolyn!!! You are very sweet, I needed to hear that!
You are an Amazing Mother,God Bless You.Prayers For You All❤️🙏
Start giving them solid . When they feel full they will sleep longer. Only milk at this age will not help.
honestly, if u were my daughter I would buy 2 swings that go back and forth, they go pretty fast and they knock the babies out for sleep. It would help you and the twins to get better naps during the daytime for now. I would save the sleep training for night time and maybe even put their cribs in 2 diff rooms. You and your husband could each take a twin and time them.

I do the swing thing with my 8 month old twins for their 2 day time naps! I only have 1 swing though and while I'm homeschooling my other kids I'll put one baby in the swing with his pacifier and lovey then once he falls asleep I stick him up in the crib then come back down and do the same with the other baby. Its works so well to put them down for naps. Mine do well at night drinking their bottle then falling right asleep and then they sleep well in their crib.
Hi jen, just watched your latest upload, the juggle is so real, i think that feeding the babies 20 to 30 minutes apart would work better and even putting them to sleep half an hour apart might help, i remember with my trio i couldn't sleep train, it just didn't work for us. Are they taking milked down baby rice/cereals/cerelac or baby porridge as maybe giving them a little bowl before bedtime so they'll be satisfied and sleep for a few hours, as regards your little boy feeling unwell sliced or toddler safe chunks of green apples can help with travel as sickness. Isn't it still so difficult with 2 parents there talk less of trying to get it all done on your own some days. Hope my tips help. Take care and rest when you can
A suggestion only, which helped me. "Carry" baby on hip, having him facing away from you. That seemed to work gas wise and it was calming her down. No clue why, but it did. Don't know if it can help you, but no harm in trying. Remember, I'm 75 years old, I've got a few tips. I've never heard or seen all you have for infants today. Trust me, you are blessed.
U are really a warrior hey l know by the end of the day u will be exhausted, l had a 3yr 7 months and 10 month old hey l know its tiresome. I don't have a maid then l,m also healing c section scar..... I feel for u.
One baby can be hard but 2 of them would be challenging at the most. But you are doing a awesome job
You are doing absolutely amazing! My twins are 8 months old and I have a 4yr old and 6yr old I homeschool. It was so so so hard in the beginning (in the first few months I'd often be in tears at the end of the day, it was so hard). My husband works 3rd shift some nights so I was on my own a lot. Its hard. Its only by the Lord I survied and figured out what worked for us! Now that the babies are 8 months old thing are getting easier, I feel like I'm finally seeing how fun twins are. So much advice is thrown at us twin Mommas but I found to just pray and to just do what was right for us. Once you all fall into your own routine that works for your family, days and nights will just flow. I've heard things dont necessarily get easier, you just get really good at doing hard things!
Such a positive attitude and always with smile even though you are extremely busy! Amazing family!
Give them all the love they need and don’t listen to comments like “you’re holding them too much”. I regret that I listened to that with my firstborn. It’s a phase and it’s temporary. It will get better!
Please don’t get upset with me, but try not to give the older kids milk when they have an upset stomach. I was told by my kids pediatrician it’s not a good idea. I hope Maxi gets better and the twins get on a schedule quickly. It can be so hard.
You poor thing. Keep going momma, it will get easier.❤❤❤❤
You keep It so real I keep coming back to your vlogs to learn how to manage with small kids
Jen hermosa mamá la verdad sos una madre cuidando 4 niños 🧒 chiquitos sos muy trabajadora y siempre con sonrisa tus gemelos son adorables y max y tú nena es una princesita te admiro mucho por sos muy trabajadora tus videos son muy hermosos felicidades 🎉🎉🎉🎉👪👍♥️♥️♥️♥️ Soy miriam museda de córdoba capital argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
I love your videos so much 😍❤️ your have a beautiful family and your during very good mom 💖
I wish I lived near you. I would love to.help you out. Hang in there you're doing.a great job.
Your kids are so lucky to have you. Supermom- it looks so hard but you always seem kind and patient despite being wayyyyy too thinly stretched. Hope it starts to get easier soon xx
Give the baby’s more food like solids and not only milk plus some snacks . Mashed bananas in a Highchair and other age appropriate foods to keep them busy and content while you do kitchen jobs . At 6 month babies go though a lot of changes and sleep training is going to be hard at this stage . I always sleep with my children until falling asleep and then leave the room . Less stress and not so much crying .
You tell it like it is for sure Momma. 👏👏👏 Your doing a great job. Good luck with the twins. It’s so hard 💯💯🫶🫶🫶🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love your content! It's so real! I hope you can get some more rest, I have 2 toddlers, I'm on ny own with them during the week and it was SO SO hard during the first year of my youngest, with both of them, and I know you have it much busier with 4, but I just want to say I relate so much with you, I can feel the pain, exhaustion, frustration, sadness its just all so much sometimes, I hope you and your husband can have some time for yourselves ♥️
Hi Jen 👋 thank you for this great video! You are doing amazing. Go girl ❤ Hope your toddler gets well soon.
Wow mama you are amazing. Fingers crossed for sleep training xx
Love you hoping for the best with the twins no matter how cute they are!
You’re a BOSS ❤💪 you are amazing!! You should be stinking proud of yourself for doing such an amazing job ❣️I hope the twins sleep better soon 🍀 😘
I love your videos, it gets me through because I have a 7 month old ❤ you are awesome!
With my reflux baby, I had to prop and weigh down the food. Also I had to do goats milk. But weighing down the food helped SO much. Also, a hot water bottle wrapped on the tummy helped a lot. Peppermint water (some people really got on me about that, but it helped soothe the stomach, just a few MLs. About 5-10, or 1-2 tsp) I also found that a little bouncy chair or a swing, even the car seat would help with propping for the 30 minutes after they ate. I really hope.you see this and that it helps you! Good luck, sweetie! ❤
Hello, you are a very beautiful mother. You are a good motivation for mothers. Thank you very much ❤️. Good luck to you.
Mama you are crushing this. Even though you may feel defeated sometimes, you are handling it gracefully and your kids are so lucky to have a strong mama like you. We're all here supporting you ❤

I believe there is an all natural product called grape wine a few drops will help with acid reflux. Also “happy baby” leg rotation could help.

Hi Jen I just watched your new post this morning. I remember being exhausted with one baby I can’t imagine have twins. If it helps my mother raised eight children and raised a garden too. You are a great mother and things will get better. Love your videos. Hope you hubby doesn’t starve to death. 😂

Hi Peggy! That absolutely helps to hear that she also raised a garden! That gives me hope! Yes, everyone on my husbands side had many kids and I just don;t know how they do it all! So, to have a garden is my dream I thought I might not be able to manage , but may be it will be ok! Thanks!
I'm exhausted just watching you. I remember how frustrating it is when you can't calm down your baby. My daughter I switched to soy bean formula and she almost instantly stopped crying and slept through the night. Ask your new (?) doctor. She had bad reflux, actually still does at age 51. She is allergic to dairy products and also penicillin. I hope you're able to get some rest. Then, poor Max, I hope he gets better soon. I do pray for you and your family. Wish I could help you out.😢
have u ever put on Baby Einstein videos for the twins?
Girl im gonna pray for you. Keep goin Momma we have the toughest jobs in the world but most important. 💙 You can do all things through Christ who Strengthens you..

Thank you so much, I appreciate the prayer! 😊💕 This job really is the toughest!
My twins are only 7 weeks and I’ve already looked into sleep training them. I’m also exhausted. Sometimes mine will eat at the same time and other times they are 30-60 mins apart making feeds feel around the clock. 😴 idk how you are fitting in pumping along side nursing one baby. I was able to nurse one but I couldn’t keep up with her nursing and then once our baby b came out of the NICU her feedings are a little more intense with needing to burp more often and lots more spit up 😅 I haven’t been writing down when they eat but maybe I should. I’ll have to look into Ferber method idk how old the babies need to be before doing that but I’d like to have good habits now so I don’t have to break a bunch of bad habits. Either way it’s extremely hard to feed them both at the same time even when they take a bottle. It’s a constant juggling act to see who needs to burp and when lol
would they sleep in a reg swing- they go pretty fast...............
Praying for you all❤❤❤
what a mom! i know what it takes and you've got it........
Hey you don't have to do the ferber method there are other ways to put them down for sleep I told so cause I saw your eyes when you leave the room😢I am sleep trainer and psychological counselor at the same time 😊

It could be a tummy bug spreading around that your Maxi is suffering from. All the others try washing hands often. My prayers are with you!
they can sit in a high chair now too, right and maybe start baby led weaning?
Dear, you are amazing. I have three and my youngest is 18 months, still waking up often to breastfeed at night, and im exhausted 😢 sending you hugs from Serbia ❤ pozdrav!
Anja is the sweetest girl❤
You are so AMAZING!!!!
Ur amazing mum band your so sweet and humble😫🙏🏾🥹
we love your videos......
Sleep training is just a horrible things to do. So many pediatricians and doctors are against it. This poor baby crying breaks my heart
Have you looked at CMPA as reflux is often a symptom out of my 3 babies 2 have/had reflux and CMPA/Soya
Привет. Макс скорейшего выздоровления. Женя крепитесь. Бывают моменты когда очень тяжело, а у вас тем более близнецы. Я даже не представляю как вы справляетесь, особенно когда мужа рядом нет. Терпения вам и здоровья во всех планах..

Привет!Спасибо Вам за пожелания. у нас все налаживается потихоньку. Близнецов учим спать , вроде и дышат стало легче.
Add a thickener into nicks milk … eg an oat powder, or they are ready for foods so make a cereal up.nick needs to be elevated. You can put something under the mattress.
A lo mejor los gemelos necesitan estar cerquita tuyo... yo tengo bebes mellizos y ellos duermen oegados a mi cama y nunca tuvieron problemas a la hora de dormir... intentá que duerman cerquita tuyo no les va a hacer mal❤
Sen çok iyi bir annesin sadece kendi fikrimi söylemek istiyorum bebeklere artık mama da vermelisin anne sütüyle doymuyor lar onun için ağlıyorlar
Babies at certain times go through sleep regression. It's awful but it passes.
Do you have a fitball?
jolly jumper?
if a toddler has been throwing up I would give that toddler an electrolyte drink like Power Ade or Gaterade- u can also get electrolyte popsicles......I would not give the child dairy..............
hi there! try to stop eating food or drinking beverages with dairy...that's the reason why your baby with reflux is always crying and like he's in pain specially after breastfeeding ...i'm a first time mom and my baby is like that but when i stopped dairy products like milk my baby is no longer in pain...

my dairy is very limited normally, i do not buy cow milk - only oatmilk. There is some dairy that's hard to cut out, but now my baby is getting so much better that they are 6 months old. 😊
Helo my Dear❤❤❤, from Philippines 🤗🤗🤗
You should get out with all family, it is good for the babies as well. Maybe they can make their naps in their strollers. I know it is hard to get out with all kids but sometimes the energy of the house gets too stressfull even the babies can feel this. Fresh air is good for everyone. Hope you can get some rest, it is hard to be in your shoes. Lots of crying, planning and rushing to everything. This is some kind of madness and motherhood means madness.

I used to take my babies for walks in the stroller. If they didn’t sleep while outside, they were ready for a nap when we got home. With her big yard she could just walk around the yard

Женя у нас в России свирепствует ротовирус, тоже рвота, температура, понос, нужно давать много воды(от обезвоживания)и раствор электролитов для восполнения солевого баланса, энтеросорбенты(типа смекты) и диета(нельзя: молоко и молочные продукты жирные, фрукты, жирную, острую и жареную пищу, томаты, лук, чеснок, кофе)
