Do you work with twins?
I have a lot of experience with twins, including premature twins, and I also have training in multiples care.
Twins often need a different level of care from one baby. They are commonly born a little smaller or earlier than single babies, so feeding, digestion, reflux, wind, weight gain, breathing, sleep, and development may all need closer observation.
Caring for two babies does not simply take twice as much time. It takes more effort to find the right balance, rhythm, and confidence for the whole family.
That is where I step in.
Can one person realistically care for twins overnight?
Yes, with experience, good structure, and the right setup.
Twins need someone who can stay calm when both babies need something at the same time, and who knows how to prioritise without panicking.
It is not about outrunning the clock all night. It is about creating a rhythm that makes the night possible.
Parents do not need to have all the answers. They need someone who can show them the tricks, the shortcuts where shortcuts are safe, and how to work with two babies without feeling completely swallowed by it.
Can you help us create a twin feeding and sleep rhythm?
With twins, a good feed-sleep rhythm is very important.
When there are two newborns with different personalities and different needs, the day can easily become one long cycle of chasing feeds, winding, settling, and starting again.
A good rhythm can give parents a little breathing space between the babies’ feed-sleep cycles, instead of feeling like there is never a minute to sit down quietly.
I look at both babies separately, because no two babies are exactly the same, even when they are twins.
Then we build a flexible routine around feeding, winding, sleep, digestion, and what works for the whole family.
Can you support premature twins?
Most of the twins I have worked with were born premature, including very tiny babies born from around 29 weeks.
Premature twins can need closer observation because feeding, digestion, breathing, body temperature, reflux, weight gain, sleep, and energy levels can all be more delicate in the beginning.
Feeding can be especially tiring for premature babies, because they often do not have the energy to feed actively for long periods.
I am confident supporting families with premature twins, and I also bring calm into the home so parents do not only see the challenges.
Even with prematurity, they are still babies. They need care, comfort, interaction, and little moments of joy in their everyday care.
Can you help us build a rhythm without forcing both babies into the same pattern too early?
With twins, rhythm is very important, but the babies still need to be seen as two different babies.
No two babies are exactly the same, even when they are twins. One may feed faster, one may need more winding, one may sleep longer, and one may be more sensitive or easily unsettled.
I look at what each baby is showing us, then we build a flexible feed-sleep rhythm around both babies and the household.
The babies have been together from the beginning, so I do not like separating them too quickly or stressing their nervous systems unnecessarily. At the same time, we need to notice when one baby is disturbing the other and adjust the setup.
This is about finding a rhythm that gives both babies good care and gives the parents a more predictable night.
