Why You Need to Schedule Time Alone with Your Partner | Twin Dad Roman Torres

Nat chats with Roman Torres, dad to 10-month-old boy and girl twins, about his experience so far as a dad of twins. Roman shares details on the twins' 37 week c-section birth, his favorite hacks for navigating newborn twins, what their daily schedule looks like at 10 months old, their bedtime routine, how he and his wife split up duties, starting solids, and the importance of nurturing your relationship as a couple with time away from the kids, and much more.

Roman Torres is a new dad to 10-month-old boy/girl twins. He lives in Washington, DC, and works as an IT professional. He is fearlessly, empathetically, and compassionately navigating twin-dadhood.

The Positives of Having Twins and Potty Training One at a Time | UK Twin Mom Melanie Bidwell

Nat chats with UK mom Melanie Bidwell about raising 3 1/2-year-old twin boys, including getting pregnant with their 4th round of IVF, a positive C-section story, having anxiety leaving the house with infant twins, the high energy of two boys, potty training them one at a time, the positives of having twins, and so much more.

Melanie Bidwell is a UK mum of 3 1/2-year-old twin boys. After many years they were the positive result after four rounds of IVF and although still shocked it was twins, it was a welcome miracle. After having the boys she went back to work part-time and also decided to set up a business called Just4twins. There didn't seem to be many UK-based websites for twin parents so she took the leap and set one up. And during Covid with another fellow twin mum, Melanie set up a twin support group called Multipals. Having twins has changed her life for the better and brought so much happiness to her and her husband.
