I think i’ve got a clinger.
I have 4 week old twins, one sleeps decently but the other one is impossible. Trying to juggle both of them on my own when my partner is at work is ridiculously difficult as it is but she won’t let you put her down… I could understand if we always had hold of her, but we don’t!
I always start the feeds with her as her sister is a bit more chilled and can get away with leaving her in the cot for an extra 30 minutes but as soon as she’s done with her feed, burping, nappy change etc and when it comes to swapping over for twin 2’s feed she just won’t have it and screams bloody murder.
She won’t settle in the cot no matter how tired she is, the only way I can get her to sleep is if she’s strapped to my chest in the sling for half an hour but even then, when it comes to transferring her (as smoothly as possible) into the moses basket, the minute she’s in it’s back to the crying and screaming.
Any tips or advice would be desperately welcome!

My mom use to use one of those seats that you bounce with your foot , if you see what I mean ?
Sounds really tough! Could you try co sleeping / safe chest sleeping with her?
Baby carrying might help x
It’s pricey but Cradlewise was great, it actually worked to keep my daughter asleep a little longer.
For feeds specially, maybe if you’re open to pumping/bottle feeding you could try bottle feeding one while breastfeeding her sister.
I can’t think of anything else right now but sending you lots of love and sleepy vibes ✨😂🫶🏽
