Twin Parenting Q&A: Sleep, Toilet Training, Toddlerhood & Independence

You asked, we answered! This week, it's just Gabi and Sinead behind the microphones as we tackle the questions you've been sending through about raising twins, navigating toddlerhood and finding your feet as a parent of multiples.

From the logistics of taking two toddlers out alone to toilet training twins at different stages, we're sharing what's worked for us, what hasn't and the things we've learnt along the way.

We also get into some of the pressures that come with raising twins — making time for each child, encouraging their individuality and the age-old advice to keep twins on the same schedule (something we have very different experiences with!).

In this episode, we chat about:

• Encouraging individuality and different interests in twins
• Finding one-on-one time without the guilt
• Navigating playgrounds, outings and errands alone with two toddlers
• Toilet training twins and managing different timelines
• Twin sleep schedules — structure versus flexibility
• Celebrating twin birthdays and making each child feel special

It's an honest conversation about the everyday realities of raising multiples, with plenty of laughs, different perspectives and a reminder that there's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting twins.

Because sometimes the most helpful thing is hearing how another twin parent is navigating exactly what you're going through.
