Can we carry twins at the same time?
We understand the even greater need to care for twins.
However, co-porting remains a practice that we recommend than static porting for skin-to-skin postpartum using a sling and a trained instructor.
Nevertheless, carrying for the movement, with two infants, remains a feat very difficult to achieve in so-called "physiological" conditions:
- difficult to remain attentive to the needs of each baby which may be different
- to safety: make sure to leave the respiratory tract visible and unobstructed
- take care of the quality of the posture
- and at the same time keep your balance AND your perineum (impacted by this double additional weight).
For all these reasons, we consider that it is more realistic to have 2 carriers for 2 babies or 1 parent well trained in carrying with 1 single stroller to alternate the carrying of the 2 babies.
