My twins are turning 10mo tomorrow (8mo corrected) and my god it’s another hard stage😩 they want to crawl but can’t and want to be with me all the time. The only time I can get them to be chilled and play nicely is when I have songs on the tv (which I hate so much screen time :(( )
They also sleep for about an hour/ 1.5 every nap and they still seem really tired and grumpy.
I’m really feeling quite trapped atm especially with the screaming if I even stand up😩
Any advice??

What does 8 months corrected mean?
My eldest (22 months) is like this with playing with his 10 month old brother too. He’s calm with background TV but gets sucked in. I try and just put music on instead but that can make things worse.

Honestly once they start crawling things will get a lot better! My boy was absolutely miserable in the trying to crawl stage, getting so frustrated because he couldn’t do it, so just wanted me to hold him all the time. Was so so hard. Once he started to crawl he was happier than ever. I know it’s hard but hang in there 😂🤞🏼

@KB 8 months corrected means they where born early 2 months by the months 10 month old but 8 months corrected. Its common for twins to be delivered early.

just hope so😩😂 It’s like you get out of a hard stage and then another hits😂x

Uff my son is similar (9 months), he can crawl but wants to be with me non stop. I can only imagine how it must be like having 2 of them 😔. Hang in there, you are doing a great job because you're taking care of 2 babies, not just one. You guys, mums with twins, are heroes to me!

Yeah it’s pretty chaotic. They’re usually amazing but this is hard with them needing me 24/7 xx

Hey Violet. How many naps do your twins have per day? Try to do gymnastics with them, to stimulate them, you will help them a lot. Mine are 9 months old and standing up, boy and girl, also 2 months yearly.

My twins are 13 now! But we’re exactly the same at this age. I used to play nursery rhymes A LOT and they always loved a mirror. Otherwise they clung to me like I was going to runaway at any moment. I promise it does get easier!!! Can’t get them to talk to me now 😉

Ooo okay I’ll give it a go!! Do you have any gymnastic recs I could try?xx

Yeah it’s that exactly 😂 Nursery rymes on all day every day!!xx
