Hi MrsS
Im not suggesting I have any ideas on how to handle twins and I just firstly want to give you a BIG wooohoooo, you are doing great! Have you heard of Harvey Karps: The Happiest Baby on the Block?? I found his techniques to be reasonably good, although I came across them too late for my DD she was passed the age your boys are. He uses music/ noise, shushing, rocking/ swinging and swaddling. Just a thought. I also think that 6 weeks may be one of those 'wonder week' developmental stages. Hang in there hun, this shall pass :hug:
Just wanted to offer big hugs hun :hug:. Hang in there, it will pass I'm sure. When DS was 6 weeks he had that wonder week like Lily Dust is saying, but he came good in a few days. Hope it's the same for you. You just have double the load but also double the blessing! GL hun!
6 weeks is a huge wonderweek. All my kids were monsters around the 6 week mark. And I only had singles. So I take my hat off to you. Do your boys like bathtime? All of my kids have loved bathtime. No matter how unsettled a bath would always calm them, and they'd tend to have a good sleep after one as well.

thanks hopefully "wonder week" passes soon lol, ill try a bath atm all is quiet ones in his swing the others getting fed but i have to dish dinner up in a min so might have to try a bath after dinner
I remember writing the same post when my DS1 was the same age. It was like he woke up and wasn't happy about it.
I have no advice for you. I just rode it out and did the minimum to get through the week.
Hugs.
DS was the same a couple of weeks ago I can only imagine how hard it would be with 2! Hang in there it does pass!
Ditto to the others! You are doing a great job hun, just don't take it personally (I did, I thought DS#1 simply hated me which was why he was so unsettled, LOL). I agree with the happy baby theory, swaddle, suckle, sound, sling (wear baby, bit hard with two though), side sleep (contraversial with SIDS I know). Whatever it takes hun to get you through the week.
*hugs*
