One of first parent skills is how to wrap one around a newborn - it makes most new babies feel safer by being snuggled tight at all times. Also helpful to hold their arms from flailing during diaper changes and sponge bathes.

It sounds like a more fun group that way. I sometimes feel like there's so much focus/support for the mothers that it's too easy to minimize the role fathers play. It bugs me. A lot. So much that I find myself rarely using the word "mom/mommy" in relation to my desire to have a child. Maybe you could start your own group!

Swaddling, lovies, changing pads while out and about, spit up cloths (they cover a lot more area than cloth diapers), light weight covers for summer months, etc etc. I always had a couple around wherever the babies were. Plus I used to them to cover up while nursing in places I felt a little weird nursing, like church, the in-laws house, restaurants if I Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15677486759919091018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9260269.post-1142681721486360842006-03-18T03:35:00.000-08:002006-03-18T03:35:00.000-08:00I've been thinking about this whole "Parents" of T...I've been thinking about this whole "Parents" of Twins thing and all I can come up with is that the more organized a moms' group is, the weirder it is. Granted, this is based on limited experience (two highly organized groups with "facilitators" versus two completely relaxed groups, one of which involved alcohol at 4 pm).
