Daisy Upton aka Five Minute Mum on entertaining twins without losing your mind

Season 2 · Episode 6

Wednesday, December 6, 2023 • Duration 38:20

Entertaining twins and creating opportunities for them to play when you don't have Blue Peter-level skills, whilst also not creating too much competition (or mess!) can feel so hard. Also coming up with enough ideas for play can feel like one thing on the to-do list too many. So we loved chatting to our latest guest, Five Minute Mum AKA Daisy Upton, bestselling author of three books and the well-loved face behind the Instagram account @fiveminutemum.

From playing games with twins, to speaking generally about playing with little ones (why do we find it so hard?!) Daisy gives us a refreshing take on keeping 'em entertained. You'll definitely feel well equipped for a rainy day indoors after listening to this episode. You might also get rid of a load of toys they don't really need after all!

Twinning It is brought to you by pre-school twin mums Jenna Banks and Alison Perry, author of OMG It's Twins. We're passionate about finding as many tips and trick from our experts and other twin mums to help make life that little bit easier. And also, find some much needed solidarity during this unique parenting ride! Come follow us on Instagram!

Nanny Louenna on potty training twins

Season 2 · Episode 4

Wednesday, November 8, 2023 • Duration 28:52

Potty training is one of those milestone which just feels like an impossible task when you're faced with a little one or TWO little ones who might be ready. How do you know if they are ready? How do you juggle potty training with TWO toddlers at once? Should you even attempt to do both at the same time or just one at a time.

Yep, it's fair to say we had a few questions for Louenna Hood aka @nannylouenna who really did have ALL the answers to our questions so we hope if you're at this stage with your twins, this will be a great help for you too.

Nanny Louenna is a Norland trained nanny and the creator of the brilliant Louenna app and has oodles of experience with potty training many twin families.

This episode is sponsored by Kiddiwhizz, the business behind The Multi-award winning Whizzer, which is the worlds’ first innovative Compact portable Unisex Eco-Toilet.

Karen Edwards aka Travel Mad Mum on travelling with twins

Season 2 · Episode 3

Monday, October 30, 2023 • Duration 37:25

Love the idea of travelling with the twins but can't quite comprehend the logistics of juggling all that luggage and twins? Well, us too so we were grateful to catch up with Karen Edwards aka @travelmadmum who is mum of four, including toddler twins, and currently living and travelling in Sri Lanka.

As well as giving us some cold hard facts about travelling with children and twins (which she says definitely adds a different, ahem, 'harder' dynamic to the equation) Karen also shares some unique and incredibly helpful tips and tricks for travelling as a family. While Karen doesn't sugarcoat the realities (which was refreshing to be honest!) we came away thinking it's still worth the effort for those wow memories that will stay with you forever.

You can find some really helpful advice and inspiration on Karen's blog Travel Mad Mum.

Sarah Carpenter on twin baby and toddler sleep

Season 2 · Episode 2

Friday, October 13, 2023 • Duration 44:01

Welcome back to Season 2 of Twinning It!

Baby sleep is such a huge part of the twin parenting journey (especially when you have twins and you're trying to achieve the impossible like tandem naps etc) and just when you think you've nailed it, they become toddlers and you have a whole new round of issues on your hands! Like, the transition from cots to beds. When those lovely rails AKA the cot cage come down. With one child this might not seem that significant but when you have toddler twins in the same room, life can become one big party once they're no longer confined in their cots at night.

While Alison had already made this transition with her twins fairly seamlessly, Jenna is still living in complete fear about it! Her twins have just turned three and in this episode we speak to Baby Sleep QUEEN Sarah Carpenter Norland Qualified Nanny and co-host of The Sleep Mums podcast and co-author of Sleep Better Baby.

If you're going through this stage, this episode is a MUST listen. Prepare to feel calmed by Sarah's knowledge and tips - there are quite a few surprising ones too!
