At a loss

My two boys are usually so quiet and peaceful, but last night and through today, they have both been crying for 10 minutes plus, either together or alternating who is crying. They've eaten, they've been changed, holding doesn't help, their playlist isn't helping, and Tylenol hasn't helped (in case they're in pain). Anything else I can do? This is breaking my heart and has put a halt to everything I need to get done today. One of my boys has been crying so much he is very raspy in the voice. (They'll be 2 months tomorrow)

Excess wind? Maybe still hungry? Any sick at all? Like after bottles or a whole after?

@YazmynJade, they've been burped and haven't given me anything more 20 minutes after they finished 5 oz bottles (they each got 5 oz bottle around 11a). If they're sick, I've missed signs of them being so because their Temps are in normal range, and they haven't spit up since we got them back on Breastmilk and Enfamil formula.

They could be going through growth spurts?

@Hope I'm hoping maybe this is it. But I'd think the Tylenol would help with the pain?

Sometimes! Or they could both be making each other over tired? I’m trying to remember what 2 months old was like for us, but I was really in survival mode. Looking at my 2 month pictures, I remember that sleep was basically nonexistent and he got RSV reallllly fast! What is in their playlist?

@Hope I apologize for responding so late, I don't remember getting the notification of being tagged. They're playlist is a mix of Disney songs and other songs that calmed their activity when they were in utero, and since they have been born it also calms them (most days).

how are they doing now??

@Hope much better. My older twin of the two is still a bit more fussy, but I still think that's from his hernia surgery a month ago. Despite the surgeon telling me he won't have any pain 🙃🫠

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

Any experience with different teats?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
