Any twin moms EC?

[Twin]

I would love to hear some encouragement on starting to EC my infant twins! What is it like for you? Do you spend all day over the potty?? lol

Thanks!

You can do it!



my twin boys were born 5-17-08
we started EC right away but got discouraged
did organic plastic diapers for a few months while pottying whenever possible
at some point I realized my frustration(coming out in the form of yelling and overreacting to everything) was due to using the diapers so we quit and used cloth at night mostly let them be naked otherwise unless we go out
The down side was that whenever we got out of the house it seemed to affect their use of the potty for the next few days (because we were diapering them?)
I wish I could help you with them, if there is anyone willing to hold them over a potty in your life then you should be good to go cause all I needed was an extra set of hands every once in a while.

A fun note is that even to this day(they are using the potty pretty well but still have atleast 1 accident a day) I will get the feeling that someone needs to go potty but when I try to potty one of them the other one has an accident. I get the signal but can't tell which one needs to go!

I don't have any advice for you since I have no experience with twins, but I've always wondered what it would be like. I would imagine it would be a challenge just the same as any other part of having twins would be. Twins run in my family, so I always think "what if..." .

Good luck to you!
