Co-bedding

Jackson, Addie, and Carter snuggling to stay warm

Hello Carter, I'm Adelaide we have not officially met because Jackson was always in between us

Depending on who you ask some folks are for co-bedding multiples and others are against it. We had thought since our triplets were separate in the NICU that they would not really be interested in co-bedding. With the recent cold weather we have had, it has been essential to keep these tiny babies warm (we check their temperature with each feeding, so 8 times a day). One particularly cold session we decided that co-bedding just may do the trick to keep them warm. We were right and discovered one additional benefit...they LOVED it. They are are so much more content right up until it is time to eat. It also makes for some darn cute pictures.

Here are a few interesting stats:

1200 ml of milk drank per day (mixed with additional calories to help growth)

24 bottles per day

30 (at least) diapers per day

2 loads of laundry per day

2 hours of sleep at any given time

1.5 diaper genie bags used per day

A BIG thank you to Paul's mom Beverly who has been staying with us the past few days to allow for SOME sleep! Now it is my mom's turn to stay the night. We are so blessed with awesome families and friends. Thank you all!
