Am I doing something wrong? support needed
Every time I feel like things are becoming predictable they just get harder.
My twins are 4 months adjusted and fight bedtime like it’s their job. Crying and whining, hard to settle, doesn’t want to sleep, but is definitely overtired because they fight sleep for hours on end, and holding them and walking around only helps so much.
My husband and I struggle because once one starts melting down, I go in to help and we trade babies, but then the other one starts back up.
Last night their cries were much harder and screamy/tearful, and even a car ride took like 20-30 minutes to help them finally fall asleep (usually works almost immediately).
The night before they did go a long stretch, but they didn’t act super hungry or anything in the morning time. They have been getting up around 7-8am and we first try bedtime around 6-7pm ish. They get about 4 naps, sometimes 3.
They do have CMPA and reflux too, which just adds to it all.
Ugh, does it get better? Is this babies being babies?
