To all parents of multiples, I have a question?
I have a friend, that was not able to conceive on her own, so she went through in vitro, and now has beautiful twin girls. The babies are around nine months old, and are not yet sitting on their own, so they are going to therapy a few days a week. I have two children (not twins) and I do have an idea of when an average full term single baby reaches certain milestones. My question is, on average how long did it take your children (twins, triplets, etc) to sit without support? I would guess not as a full term baby, because most twins are born before their do date.
I never imagined twins could go to full term, I learned something new :o)
I guess they are a litte behind then, hopefully therapy does it’s work.
Thanks for the answers, very helpful.
I have 4 year old twins and they were born 6 weeks early. They were sitting up on their own at about 6 months. Don’t know if you want it, but started crawling at 7 1/2 months and were both walking by 14 months.

My boys sat up by themselves at 4 months, same as a normal single birth.
I did go full term with my boys though. If they were prem I would say they may be delayed a bit.
She should have a talk to her Doctor about it. Twins run in my man’s family and out of 6 sets, 2 sets (including mine) were the only ones who were at the normal milestones.
The others were only a few months behind.
