We have month old twins (born a month early). One is eating well, and sleeping well. The other seems to have acid reflux, spits up/throws up, takes half as much food, and is generally fussy. Only thing is, he responds to a pacifier. Any BTDT? Help?? Ideas. I need some sleep! Or at least some quiet! Oh, does it matter if I hold him too much? How long can I let him cry before picking him up? Thanks, I am obviously new to this! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

You can't hold a baby too much. Don't worry about that. It will get easier as much of what you describe is outgrown. In the meanwhile, consider getting a babysitter a night or two a week so you can catch up on sleep. [ Reply | More

try letting him sleep in his carseat or swing. hold as much as you want and sometimes you need to let him cry. if you feel crazy go to a different room and take deep breath. twins is hard so pace yourself and don't stress. [ Reply | More

if you're this desperate, you may want to look up the amby sleeper. I haven't used it, but it looks great for this type of situation. http://www.ambybaby.com/ [ Reply | More

if the pacifier works, go for it. my dc is 18 mos and still uses a paci to sleep (we plan on weaning after an x country trip this summer). but dc slept like a champ from day one. you can't hold a db too much-hold them! they won't be this small ever again. as for letting cry, as long as my dc heard my voice, they would be ok. at this age, i wouldn't let it go too long, but you do need to do things (like go to the bathroom, feed the other dc, change the other dc, etc). it does get better. gl and congrats on your dbs [ Reply | More

You are me! How old are your twins, though? You left that part out. Ours are almost 8 months, and there has always been this difference. One is a great eater and sleeper and the other is very fussy, projectile vomits all the time, doesn't fall asleep on his own as well, etc. He is also the pacifier lover and the other isn't. I'm just thankful that I have one good eater/sleeper so that I can spend time helping the other one. [ Reply | More
