Hi to all the new faces here! If you don’t know me, I’m Alaina. Mother to 2.5 year old twin girls, neuroscience nerd (nurture neuroscience practitioner in training!🧠💞) & the founder of nurturing twins. This community exists to fill the gaps for the mothers of multiples who want to prioritize attachment by breastfeeding, cosleeping, babywearing & honoring their babies needs without neglecting our own. (Because YES it is possible even with twins!)If you’re new here don’t be a stranger! Introduce yourself & make some friends! My goal is to build the resourcing & online village we need to show up for & with one another, honoring our motherbaby triads. by @nurturingtwins

Be known for what you are for, not what you are against—The goal in creating this space is not to shame or disrespect mothers who have chosen a different path, but to offer support and celebration for every choice made that honors the dignity of us as mothers and our sweet children. No one is expected to be perfect (even Juniper’s mom probably couldn’t be 100% crunchy with twins!) but the goal is to show one another what is possible, to support our shared values, and to be a village for one another. YES you can have a beautiful birth with your multiples. YES you can tandem feed, even triplets! YES you can cloth diaper more than one baby. YES you can babywear. YES you don’t have to sleep train. YES, you are welcome here. ✨🫂💞 by @nurturingtwins

You’re not weak for choosing connection. For doing the dance we have done for millennia- bringing your babies to bed with you, soothing them when they cry, giving them presence day and night. I know why women say that- we feel sheepish. Our pediatrician or grandmother or mom friend told us to be strong & “give them the gift of sleep”. You’re not weak for your softness of heart. You’re not a bad mom & you’re not going to have them sleeping in your room til they’re off to college. Attunement is one of the greatest inheritances we can offer our babies. Attuned rest- when our heartbeats sync & our breath is heavy & little hands gently flit against our bodies- it heals unspoken things within us & gives them the neurobiological support they need to grow, to thrive.If you need attachment first guidance on twin sleep, comment REST to grab my sleeping with twins guide, or hop in my DMs to see if individual support would be a good fit 💞 by @nurturingtwins

Perfection isn’t the goal. Congruency is. Your motherbaby triad thriving is. Trusting your intuition because you’ve honed it over time. by @nurturingtwins

You don’t have to sacrifice connection to save your sanity- you don’t have to sleep train just because you have twins, or they’re “bad sleepers” or you have multiple children, or your partner works nights… even with ALL of that going on, my client chose nurture. We’ve been working together for the majority of the last year, supporting their motherbaby triad, navigating logistics of sleep situations, & honoring the very real challenges she felt as sleep just kept getting worse. We discussed potential medical concerns, individual temperaments & sleep need differences, tried out a variety of different setups, & celebrated every little victory alongside the hardships. & then, today, she sent me this. Here’s what I need you to know— baby sleep is fundamentally different from adult sleep, and when you’ve got 2+ babies, WHEW it can be all over the map. AND, it can and will get easier. Without misattunement, without cry it out, without cutting night feeds. Nurture is the answer. If you can relate to any of this, know you’re not alone. You don’t have to navigate this with chat gpt or moms on call or whatever the people in the twin fb groups say— you deserve real support. Comment NEED if you want direct support- we’ll chat in the DMs about your options & what would be a good fit, or if you’re a DIY girlie, comment SLEEP to grab my sleeping with twins guide. by @nurturingtwins

We either recognize the dignity of the human person in our babies, or we don’t. (Too spicy? Oops) We either recognize that the way we approach our babies matters, or it doesn’t. by @nurturingtwins

Attunement- tuning out the noise & tuning in to our babies— something that proves to be life changing for motherbaby triads yet is under supported in traditional twin guidance. But as a mother who’s journeyed alongside my own children & so many of you beautiful motherbaby triads, I assure you— this can shape your experience of motherhood for the better, their infancy, & lifelong health. I can’t walk it for you or witness every moment of it alongside you// but I can equip you with the tools, resourcing, connection & assurance to get there. If you’re feeling the lack, you’re not alone. Comment EASE below & we’ll talk through your support options in the DMs 💌 by @nurturingtwins
