There was SO much to learn before and after having my babies. I started keeping track of things I learned or wish I had known so that if I am fortunate enough to become pregnant again, I will have all of this to look back on.

Best advice

1. Accept and ask for help
   
2. Join Facebook groups! Twin moms, exclusively pumping, buy nothing, moms in the area
   
3. Don’t skip MOTN pump (Duolingo and blogging have been helpful for me!)
   
4. Figure out an overnight system so that you and your partner aren’t fighting at 12am when baby wakes up (only furthering your frustration)
   
5. Experience of friends who recently have had kids is invaluable (pediatrician, borrowing items, hospital questions, etc)
   
6. There is no “right” way to parent. People will criticize everything (way you hold your baby, how you feed your baby, what you feed your baby, etc.)
