[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had 35wk twins and pumped. It was tough.

My advice is to put DH in charge of as much as you can (washing pump parts, errands etc).

For food, maybe order some easy things from Costco or supermarket instead? Rotisserie chicken, bagged salad etc. ask DH to cut up a ton of fruit for you (I was obsessed with fruit at that stage- berries, melon etc). I also loved cut veggies with spinach artichoke dip and that sort of thing. Some of the Costco premade stuff is not bad (chicken pot pie or chicken soup, taco platters, take and bake pasta dishes etc). Definitely better than fast food IMO. Also lots of good stuff in the refrigerator section. Maybe some cold sandwich stuff if you like- easy to safely eat with one hand while holding a baby. Also muffins, quick breads or bagels with cream cheese etc. [/quote]

I will do this. We are just wrapping our heads around it all and have been eating snacks and delivery. My husband had to work this week because to finish up work before he takes leave. He will be home for the next 8 weeks starting next week. [/quote]

No reason for the both of you to be home, take alternating leave. Preemies require more care for longer time, you don’t just send these types of babies to daycare at 8-12 weeks. That’s absurd![/quote]
