This week on Sense by Meg Faure, we have an honest and heartwarming chat with media personality and twin mom, Zoe Brown. Her boys are now 16 weeks (three and a half months) old, and she shares the real highs and lows of this dynamic stage, from major sleep victories to the tough reality of finding your community in a new city.
This episode is packed with relatable moments and expert advice:
- The Ultimate Win: Zoe shares the exciting news that her twins slept through the night for the first time! We unpack how she got there by following their cues and establishing a gentle rhythm.
- Tummy Time & Milestones: What do you do when one twin starts rolling and the other isn't there yet? We discuss tummy time struggles, tips to make it more engaging (like using a mirror or facing twins towards each other), and celebrating individual developmental journeys.
- Starting Solids: The conversation turns to weaning. Meg provides clear, evidence-based guidelines on when to start solids (between 17 weeks and 6 months), the three key signs of readiness to look for, and why the best first foods are starchy vegetables, not porridge.
- Postpartum Fitness & Self-Care: Zoe talks about her fitness journey and how carving out 30 minutes for herself makes a huge difference.
- The Loneliness of Motherhood: In a candid moment, Zoe opens up about the challenge of social isolation after moving to a new city, and the struggle to build a new village while in the thick of raising two infants.
This is a must-listen for any parent, offering practical tools for routines and development, encouragement for self-care, and reassurance that you are not alone on this wild and wonderful ride.
