West Central Ohio
Congratualations!!! How long do you take off? Who knows? Everyone and every situation is different. But you WILL FURTHER learn, you gota do what you gota do.

Some pointers I learned from having twins during the busy season.

Keep a SET feeding schedule. We did every 3 hours. Feed both. Attempt to limit the insanity. After some time, I can not remember how long try to go to 4 hours then through the night. They'll let you know when there not happy

Keep enough diapers, formula (just in case Mom can not keep up as they grow), and other "stuff" on hand to limit "late night runs".

Keep a SET feeding schedule

Keep track (on a simple piece of paper in the kitchen for example), of how much milk each baby drinks at each time fed. Along with if any meds or vitimans. This way when one gets sick you can look back at when about the baby started backing off milk for how long and how much. Me and Mom could not remember ourselves of who had what or how much, let alone if there are 2 more people helping added to the mix.

Keep a SET feeding schedule

Sleep when you can

Keep a SET feeding schedule

Try to take a moment every now and then to enjoy it. They do grow fast

They do call it hell year for a reason.
