Singleton after Twins?

Question

Hi, I’m interested in hearing some experiences with having a singleton after twins. I have 2 year old identical twin boys and currently pregnant with another boy! There will be a 2.5 year gap between them. My twins are pretty well behaved just a lot of energy. Any advice on what to expect when I bring home baby? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I don't have twins, but all my kids are right at 2 years apart (expecting #5). For me, the toddler always seems to be the challenge and the baby feels like time off 😅 the discipline and tantrums of two are a lot to handle, then you go snuggle your sweet baby who just sleeps and doesn't talk back 😂
I can imagine having twins off the bat, a Singleton will feel like a breeze. One of your benefits to having twins first is that they have one another to entertain themselves. Going to #2 was the hardest transition for me, because #1 just cried "hold you! Hold you!" all day.
Also, I'm an identical twin and it's awesome! I was hoping at one point I'd get a two-for-one deal, but nope!
