Re: Please don't judge
Nobody who has ever had a baby will judge you. We have all been there. The hormones, sleep deprivation and feelings of entrapment in your own home are enough to make you feel like you are going crazy. Double that with twins.
I just had my 3rd baby 4 months ago. I had him on Wednesday, home on Friday and ready to go to work on Monday. It was just chaotic. I understand you 100%. This is the hardest part. Do what you can to help yourself. If people offer to help you in any way, take it. Don't feel like you are the mother and you have to do everything. Don't be shy to delegate whatever you can.
Also, shower and get dressed every day. It will keep you feeling like a person. You will get through this and it will be awesome.

Re: Please don't judge
It is soooo hard! What you're feeling is completely normal. I want another child so bad but IDK how I'll be able to make it though that newborn stage again. I used to get such anxiety thinking it would be 18 years of that. It will get a lot easier soon. Until then, just take all the help you can get!

Re: Please don't judge
I didn't have twins, but having just 1 was hard and exhausting! Hang in there, it's hard to believe but it does get easier.
When I read your post, my initial though is why are you sanitizing bottles?!?! STOP! Just throw them in your dishwasher and call it a day.

Thank you all for all the advice. I do have my mom help as much as possible, eventually though she's going back to work she took 4 weeks vacation to help me. Today was the first day on my own and my mom came for about 2 hours. It's 2:30 and I'm just eating something for the first time today. Of coarse the dog stole my first sandwich and I lost it on her and now she's hiding from me and I feel awful  she's always been my little buddy. the pumping thing is killing me. I pumped once today. I know I'm not going to be able to continue to give them breast milk and I feel awful for it. I can even take them out. They were premature and I can't take them anywhere until the both reach 6lbs minimum and I have a long way to go especially with my 1. I know I need to enjoy this stage that this won't last forever and I'll never get these moments back but I have ZERO patience for the crying and 24/7 neediness. I hope I start to feel better soon. I can't do this much longer i never imagined feeling this way and take so upsetting. Tomorrow my mom is watching them so I can go get my nails done and my friend is coming for a visit Saturday. Thank you again for listening and the advice I really appreciate it

It will be good for you to get out of the house. That's a good thing. You'll feel better.
See if you can get as much help with that as possible- try to get out alone or just you and DH here and there- even if it's just for a quick run to the store or to grab a fast lunch while your mom watches them.
If you can't give them breast milk in the future, so be it. They will be fine. My DD didn't have one drop of breast milk and she was more than fine. she was barely ever sick- even when everyone else in daycare had coxsackie and a million other things. To this day she is healthy as a horse.
Do you best - that is all you can do- and know that formula is not poison if you need to supplement or even give it 100% at some point.

You need to eat. Yogurt, a piece of bread, cereal. Babies can cry for a minute or two and they will be fine. If you are tired and starving that doesn't help anyone.
If breastfeeding is too much or causing you so much stress there is no shame in using formula. Mental health (imo) is more important.
Lack of sleep, hunger, feeling cooped up, definitely gives us all a short fuse so I am pretty sure that is why the crying and neediness gets extra hard to deal with.

Don't beat yourself up - if pumping is to much don't pump let them latch and get what they can and substitute with formula.
You don't have to enjoy the stage - you survive it and enjoy sometime in between

This! You don't have to enjoy it
I hated it
I dont' regret hating it.
I don't look back and say- awww I miss that newborn stage so much- I wish I could go back to her screaming 24/7 and me getting no sleep and feeling like i was losing my mind.
Awww, I miss that so much.
I don't.
I actually hated it so much that I became one and done.
I never wanted to re- live it. It would have broken me.
Even now at 6 years old I think of how much better she is now. How much more I enjoy being a mom. I never liked the newborn stage and I never regret not liking it nor do I EVER yearn for those days.
Trust me, these days that I am in now with her are so much better
It will be ok

Don't feel guilty about breastmilk.
I exclusively pumped with my 1st for the first 6 weeks (I knew I was not doing it the whole year but I told myself i would do it for 6 weeks) I was MISERABLE. All I did was pump feed wash bottles repeat. Could not wait till stop!
For my 2nd tried pumping for 6 weeks again was not as dedicated and stopped before 6 weeks
my kids survived on formula!

My one twin has never latched. The lactation consultant worked hours with us in the hospital and gave up. The other was doing awesome latching until I was discharged and he wasn't. Ive tried so hard since he came gone and he just screams bloody murder until I give him a bottle. Now I pump and substitute formula for 1/4 the feedings

Re: Please don't judge
Those initial weeks/months can be so isolating. When my DS was in his first few months I remember being excited for the days my cleaning woman would come because most weeks, she was the only person over the age of a few months old (besides my husband and parents) who I'd get to interact with face to face. For me, I think it was a real game changer when he was old enough to attend classes. We went to our first music class at 7 months where he made a friend (and I made my first mommy friend outside of the ones I knew prior to getting pregnant) and it just changed everything. Suddenly we had a social life and my DS was able to sit up and play with toys and a good age for playing with toys independently in a way that he couldn't in those newborn months.
The days are LONG but the years are short, and although it seems like these days will never end, they will.. and maybe you'll miss it, or maybe you won't, but it absolutely will get easier.

Don't feel guilty about not breastfeeding! I had huge guilt with my first. He wasn't gaining weight and I wasn't enjoying BFing. Once I decided to change to formula it was like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I was formula fed and I turned out fine!

Re: Please don't judge
Please don't be so hard on yourself. The beginning is so difficult. DH took a week off work after my first and when he went back, it was just me and this little girl and I was like now, what?! I had a serious case of the baby blues. My parents would come by all the time but I was the one breastfeeding and it felt like it was all on me. I remember thinking, even then when she was so little, that being a mom is a thankless job.
These days will pass. Take care of yourself and the littles. You are not alone. Even now with a 3 1/2 yo, 17 mo, and baby #3 joining us in April, I feel like I'm in survival mode a lot, just trying to make it through the days. You will get through it and all of a sudden you'll look at your boys and wonder when and how they got so big!

I agree with all of this - especially with what Nell said about not enjoying this stage.
My DD never latched and I didn't produce milk so she had formula. She is a healthy almost 6 yr old and also never really got sick when all the others were sick in daycare.
My DS was a nightmare as a newborn and through the first 8 months of his life. He is now 19 months and sooo much better. Since I didn't produce milk with my DD I never even tried to BF him. He had formula from the start.
You are doing great - please don't beat yourself up with how you are feeling. But I will say that you need to take care of yourself. You need to eat and take a shower and try to feel normal. You need to accept the help from anyone who is willing to give it. If you feel like you can't shake the baby blues, please seek help from your doctor. PPD is no joke and your mental health is so very important.

This is solid advice. That saying "happy mommy, happy baby" is 100% true. I know because I lived it. It's hard to wrap your mind about putting yourself first, but you need to, at least for your basic needs. Like eating. And showering. And getting dressed. And brushing your teeth. And sleeping.
If the pumping is too much, give the babies formula and do not feel bad about it. None of my kids were BF and they are all healthy and thriving. Now that the weekend is approaching, tell DH he is on nightfeeding duty at least one of the nights so you can sleep. Or at least part of the night so you can catch like 4-6 hours in a row. And go sleep in another room so you aren't disturbed.
Also, while DH is home, go do little errands. Like get gas. Anything to get you out of the house for 10 minutes. Its so isolating having newborns this time of year.
I really feel for you. It is so hard with one so I can't even imagine what you are going through with 2. Despite what you may think, I'm sure you are doing a great job.

Thanks all! DH is awesome he literally changes any diaper or feeds any baby at any point when he's home. Does all the chores and let's me rest but it still seems like it's never enough. I'm going to cut down on the pumping to like 3-4x daily and do the rest formula. They have had supplemented since birth but I've tried only using 1-2 formula feeds a say. My one little guy has terrible stomach pains all the time, gas vomits everything so I'm going to talk to the doctor Wednesday when he goes about a different formula. I feel like I can't even enjoy spending time with him because he's so needy and it's not fair to him! I've had my mom over as much as possible her vacation is over feb 8th so she's over today and I am going to get my nails done and go to the store, maybe even nap. I just don't want these moments to pass by and I miss them because I'm crabby so I'm trying to keep my sanity. Thank you all again for the advice and support I really appreciate it!!!

Re: Please don't judge
Another thing to remember- they call the first 3 months of life the 4th trimester. I watched the Happiest Baby on the Block DVD when I was desperate one day and the doctor in it explained that babies are not really ready to come out after 9 months- their brains, digestive system etc are not really ready to be out in the world, eating, digesting etc- but that there is no more room in there and the placenta starts breaking down at the 9 month mark so they have to be born.
It explains why some babies have such a rough first 3 months- with the colic, gas, spitting up, screaming. Their systems are still too immature.
It made me feel better to know it was normal and common and I wasn't alone.
That DVD also had some great tips for soothing them
I do recommend it

Re: Please don't judge
I started to tear up reading your post. I don't have twins, but I did go through IF treatments and those first few weeks were a nightmare. No sleep, no showers, feeding, changing diapers, pumping, cleaning bottles, etc. I was so overwhelmed. It will get better, you all need time to adjust to your new life.
Don't be afraid to ask for help!
Hang in there.

One more thing even though they are tiny you can prob. get away with using either a ring sling or in a few more weeks a soft structured carrier (usually they have to be like 8 pounds to start using these) to give you a little more freedom (to hold the other baby or just to have your hands back). They are really easy to figure out how to use (wrapping would work too at this age but a little higher learning curve). Also my good friend has twins and did a combo of breastfeeding/pumping/formula feeding till they weaned and found that a lactation consultant was indispensable for helping her set up a routine that worked to keep her sanity! So an option if you want to continue to give breastmilk along w/ formula feeding. They usually come to your house for a few sessions then are available to you over the phone for the length of your journey.

Please don't judge
I want to shout from the roof tops that you are feeling everything that is NORMAL. I can't count the amount of times when I felt this way, shit, still sometimes. Everything about this is your body having a reaction to a HUGE life changing event. I know the guilt that creeps in is hard bc of fertility but after talking to my doctor, he said he has heard it all before. You take care of yourself, lean on other moms, your mom and us. You got this!
