They cry so much

My twin boys were born at 36.4 weeks and the first month was honestly great they just ate and slept. Yes I was very sleep deprived but it wasn’t unbearable. Fast forward to two months they started crying so much. They are fed, changed, soothed etc but they will literally just cry, high pitched cries that do not stop. We are now approaching 12 weeks (8 corrected) and I’m losing my mind with the crying. If I am not tending to them quite literally all the time, they are crying. Can’t go to the washroom, can’t really do anything else without one waking up wailing. Yes, they can in their sleep sense me leave. Did any mamas go through this??? When did it stop and how did you survive???

That happened to me too the first month wasn’t horrible but the sleep deprivation was awful then the second month was just pure hell the sleep regression hit so fast and they cried and spit up so so much and Kaleel my baby A (first kids) didn’t stop throwing up till around 5-6 months then it finally stopped I thought maybe he had some tummy troubles but I guess his belly just needed time to get used to formula as I was only able to pump for a week until I realized I’d never get any sleep doing it I still beat myself up over that they’re now 15 months and sleeping is quite easy they get themselves down to sleep most nights

Oh am so sorry 😢 I know the struggle is beyond anyones comprehension 😔 unless they’ve experienced it 😢.. one of my twins would cry relentlessly since day one! She had a rep in the nicu for being the most feistiest one out of like 15 babies .. so we tried it all 🤦‍♀️ we tried every different type of swaddle.. but we ended up taking her to the GI dr because she actually had slight case of acid reflux.. She was given some medicine..So that helped she still wasn’t the best sleeper but it did make a difference.. Another thing is that at 2 months they could be having a sleep regression it’s normal and part of development but it’s hard on us parents .. because we have 2 and they may not have the sleep regression at the same time.. ugh 😣 I know it’s so hard right now!! But trust me things will get better .. now I laugh because they sleep better then me.. it’s like after they hit 2 yrs and a few months they started to sleep through the night .. ((Hugs mama))

This happened to me as well. 8 weeks was the WORST. But after that it got a lot better and they started doing longer stretches of sleeping at night. Then it sucked again at 3.5 months when they started their sleep regression. My pediatrician got us a sleep coach and we sleep trained at 4.5 months (they took right to it). It was a literal life saver. From then on we got our nights back and some of our sanity.

It's ok to let them cry a little bit especially if u did everything
