Crying at same time...

How long do you let one or both twins cry when they both demand your attention at the same time? Mine are 6 weeks old and while it doesn't happen very often, sometimes they both want me for something other than food and I have to juggle which to hold. (I can feed both at the same time so that's not a problem).

Re: Crying at same time...

I know exactly what you mean. Its so tough when they both cry at the same time, I feel so bad choosing. Usually I pick one up comfort her for like 2 minutes and then switch. Sometimes I will put the other in the swing for a minute to try and calm her down while I am comforting the other one.

This is exactly what I do as well! I wish I had bigger hands to hold both of them at the same time like my husband can do!

Re: Crying at same time...

When they were tiny I'd just hold them both. What worked well was to lay down with them - put one on my chest and cradle the other in the crook of one of my arms.
