Description

This week on Sense by Meg Faure, we welcome back twin mom Zoë Brown and twin expert Tasha Perreard for the Season 7 premiere! Zoë’s boys are now 12 weeks old, and she shares the new joys, like first laughs, and challenges, like managing two very different personalities and schedules.

This episode tackles:

  • Different Sleep Schedules: What do you do when one twin sleeps for five hours, but the other wakes every three? Meg and Tasha offer expert advice on whether to wake the sleeping twin, manage individual needs, and find a rhythm that works.
  • Formula Feeding Realities: Zoë shares her experience with broken bottle teats and how it impacted feeding. We discuss how much milk babies really need versus what the formula tin suggests.
  • Awake Windows & Naps: Why are morning naps often shorter "catnaps"? Learn about age-appropriate awake windows (60-90 minutes) and the 80/20 rule for creating a consistent sleep space.
  • Development at 12 Weeks: From those first silent laughs and coos to hand-to-mouth exploration, we cover the exciting milestones of this age.
  • Unique Personalities: Meg and Tasha explain how to identify different sensory profiles in your babies and why one twin might be more sensitive or social than the other.

This episode is packed with practical tips and reassuring advice for parents of twins, or any parent navigating the dynamic 12-week stage.
