Success after IF

Another Gymboree question...if you have twins

How was it if you have twins? I know they say one adult per child. Am I going to be able to do this? I am sure I am stressing too much and everything will be fine.  I hope!

Re: Another Gymboree question...if you have twins

  • I never did so don't go by what I say... but I thought I heard from the multiples board that you can't take both of them by yourself.

  • I called my local one some time ago.  I have never gone but they told me we would be welcome.  Each one is privately owned.  Call them and ask.  The general policy is no it is 1:1 BUT they can change their personal policy.

  • I only did a month of classes when my girls were probably 22 months.  At that age, it was pretty do-able to do it by myself.  But they were decent walkers and I didn't have to "help" them that much, just make sure they didn't do anything too crazy.  I would think it would be difficult to do it alone when they were in the 1 year-18 month range because they are so mobile without much judgment.  Not sure about younger than that though.  You can always call and ask.

  • I don't have twins, but I took both of mine to the Family class at gymboree and it worked out well.  There was also a set of twins in our Little Gym class that DS used to take, and the instructor just used to help that mom out when she needed it.  Definitely call and ask them - they may have a solution.

  • Crap I should have been more clear. They know I have twins and are letting me take the trial class next week. I was wondering if anyone had any success stories! They said that the teacher might be able to help me. Thanks ladies!

  • I have heard that they will help you...we have a My Gym, and thats where we go, I asked them when we started and they said there that they wouldn't be able to help out, so i would need another adult...we figured it out with DH, MIL and SIL where someone would go with me each time..i know for ME, with my crazy kids, it would have been tough to do it without any help (oh, i should say, i had Audrey attached to me during class too)  but there was a pair of twins in our class for a while that came with their dad...and he seemed to do great with the two of them by himself...so i think it can be done :)

  • Our Gymboree had an awesome teacher who was such a huge help. She would gladly take one baby for the songs or 1:1 activities.
  • They will help you, at least they did around here for me and I actually had three kids in the class!

  • When my sisters twins were pre-walkers I had to go with her and we had 1 baby each. Once the were walking on their own, the Gymboree my sister went to allowed her to do it solo. As pp said call and ask because policies are different at different ones.
    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.
