Hi
I have six month old twin boys. They are very different in every way and I am finding it hard not to compare DT1 with DT2 in a negative way.
He cries A LOT and is a really bad eater which means he is very skinny and is now nearly off the bottom of the graphs.
I just can't tell if there is something wrong with him or if I am just comparing unfavourably with DT2 who is mostly cheery and happy and eats well and is just generally more content.
When I have spoken to the HV she just thinks I am comparing them and DT1 is fine, but I really feel that he is miserable and I don't have time to try and help him (got an older DD too). I also feel bad that I just get cross with him when he cries.
I was wondering if anyone else had this and will it change with time - I am now worrying also about labelling him the 'difficult' one. How do you stop comparing them and just treat them as two different people?
