Here are six general basic tips to make sure that your children stay healthy and happy.
1. Cleanliness.
It is best to make sure that they are clean at all times. When you change their nappies, wash around their genitals area very thoroughly with soap and water and then dry it completely as dampness down there can lead to painful fungal infections. Never allow it to remain damp at all.
2. Tidiness.
Even the children feel more comfortable if they are neat and tidy. They can damage themselves (and you) with their finger nails unless you cut them regularly.
I know that they grow bigger quickly but make sure that their clothes are not too tight for them. This could lead to their becoming irritated through being too hot as well.
3. Feeding.
While they are still twin babies their mother’s milk is by far the best drink for them. Not only is it very nutritious for baby but it helps with the emotional bonding process.
Mother should herself be eating well and keeping herself clean, particularly around the nipple area.
When they are ready to be weaned it is essential that their bottle is cleaned out and sterilised before the next use.
There is a danger of catching some cattle diseases if baby is given cow’s milk. It should be boiled and then cooled down first to kill the bacteria.
4. Their room.
Their room needs to have plenty of light and air circulation. Have some toys, particularly musical ones on hand to help soothe baby to sleep.
Do all you can to stop insects getting in. Even the smallest bite for a baby can cause challenges. At worse it might lead to malaria or yellow fever.
Do not panic when they stay asleep a long time as children do need a lot more sleep than adults.
5. Potty Training.
When they get to this stage very special care should be taken. Make sure that you clean the seat of the toilet with an antiseptic solution after every single use, even between your twins using it.
It should also not be used by any of your older children or anyone elses come to that.
6. Taking baby out.
It is a good idea to attach a tag with your name and address onto your childs clothes and the pram or pushchair just in case you get parted by mistake somehow.
If you travel in the car make sure that there are separate car seat belts and that they are done up firmly.
When you take these basic precautions everything should go very smoothly but if you do get concerned at any time do not be afraid to rush to your local hospital or doctor.
