I'm a SAHM who is lucky enough to have my mum helping me out everyday (for the moment)
Twins have always been big criers and I thought once we passed the magical 3mth stage it would get easier. It has, in that they don't need to be held 100% of the time, but now it's more like 80%!!
My big issue at the moment is crying before naps and particularly bedtime. They never feed to sleep (exclusively bf) so we spend ages rocking in cat seats, using the swing or pacing up and down. This is starting to drive me crackers, my mum is fed up, my toddler neglected (tho my DH puts him to bed when he gets back from work and stays up there, eventually falling asleep, claiming DS was being restless)
The twins are fine and happy if they are being held in arms but sometimes we just can't!So they cry and cry. Any advice?!? We have car seats to rock, bouncers to bounce and a swing. Nothing really works...thinking of Gina Ford but I cannot imagine them being very happy being placed down for scheduled naps and closing the door. Can't really take them out for walks because toddler is unruly and runs off or tantrums because he wants to get into the double buggy. HELP. I was holding it together till the 3mth mark. Now it has passed-not much has improved...
