  • Summary

  • Welcome to Twinning It. The podcast brought to you by pre-school twin mums Jenna Good and Alison Perry, author of OMG It's Twins!


    We know how full on it can be raising twins and how different it is to regular parenting, so this podcast will offer you a resource for finding out lots of brilliant tips and tricks to make your life that little bit easier. We'll be interviewing experts and chat with other twin mums to find out the best ways to tackle everything from sleep (after all, tandem naps are the dream, right?) to weaning, holidaying with twins, getting around with them, potty training and even advice on how to look after yourself whilst navigating this crazy ride.


    And of course we know how busy you are so we'll be keeping the episodes short and sweet but jam packed full of useful twin-life nuggets.

  • Daisy Upton aka Five Minute Mum on entertaining twins without losing your mind
    Dec 6 2023

    Entertaining twins and creating opportunities for them to play when you don't have Blue Peter-level skills, whilst also not creating too much competition (or mess!) can feel so hard. Also coming up with enough ideas for play can feel like one thing on the to-do list too many. So we loved chatting to our latest guest, Five Minute Mum AKA Daisy Upton, bestselling author of three books and the well-loved face behind the Instagram account @fiveminutemum.


    From playing games with twins, to speaking generally about playing with little ones (why do we find it so hard?!) Daisy gives us a refreshing take on keeping 'em entertained. You'll definitely feel well equipped for a rainy day indoors after listening to this episode. You might also get rid of a load of toys they don't really need after all!

  • Shakira Akabusi on post-natal health and fitness after twins
    Nov 23 2023

    We have wanted to chat with mum of four (including one set of twins) Shakira Akabusi for a long time but she's a hard lady to pin down! Author of The Strong Like Mum Method, Shakira's amazing knowledge about our bodies and accessible tips to help mums keep active means you might already be familiar with Shakira from her regular appearances on This Morning.


    We chatted to Shakira about juggling our fitness with the demands of twins and she also gave us some great tips on moving our bodies postpartum, as well as keeping it very real!


    You can find out more about Shakira's Strong Like Mum Method on her Instagram page.

  • Nanny Louenna on potty training twins
    Nov 8 2023

    Potty training is one of those milestone which just feels like an impossible task when you're faced with a little one or TWO little ones who might be ready. How do you know if they are ready? How do you juggle potty training with TWO toddlers at once? Should you even attempt to do both at the same time or just one at a time.


    Yep, it's fair to say we had a few questions for Louenna Hood aka @nannylouenna who really did have ALL the answers to our questions so we hope if you're at this stage with your twins, this will be a great help for you too.


    Nanny Louenna is a Norland trained nanny and the creator of the brilliant Louenna app and has oodles of experience with potty training many twin families.

Amazing supportive Podcast

I love this, I only wish that I had this podcast before I had my twins in 2021. Especially the breastfeeding episode. I'm not a social media person, so couldn't really connect with the Facebook groups. Most things about twins online (podcasts and YouTube) are based in the US and it's nice to finally have something that is UK based and tackling so many of the issue and obstacles that comes with being a twin parent in the UK. Every episode so far has been great and so informative. Had shared this with alot of my mum friends. Keep the episodes coming. Great job👍🏼

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
