one needy twin?
Does anyone feel like they tend to one child more than the other??
My girls are pretty good for the most part but one of my girls is a lot more fussy than the other one (I think the poor thing has reflux and is uncomfy but that's another story) Whereas the other one is a lot more calm and very mellow.
She could sit in her swing or her boppy without making a peep. Don't get me wrong.. she has her moments ande bad days but generally she is so good.
I feel like I'm always tending to her sister since she is so fussy and I feel SO guilty. At night when my Ali wakes up for her bottle... I know I shouldn't, but I snuggle her so much because I feel like during the day I don't get enough of her.
Is this normal with most twins? is one needier than the other? do other mommies feel guilty for tending to one more than the other??

Re: one needy twin?
I am definitely in that boat too. I feel like K is much more laid back than J. But, J is a much better napper than K.
So, it is what it is. I guess one will always be easier/harder than the other when it comes to certain things. Just like all siblings are.

Re: one needy twin?
yes but don't worry my girls are 14 months old and it switches back and forth between who is needier, so they will both end up getting the attention they need from you when they need it

Exactly this! My boys are almost 1 and they go back and forth. One month C is needier and next month M is needier. It all evens out eventually I think.

Re: one needy twin?
One of my girls had a milk protein allergy and more reflux issues, gastro issues in general. She was much more needy over all. Now at almost 2, the tables have turned and she is the more independant one and her sister is the mushy needs hugs all day sensitive one...so I guess that it all works itself out.

Re: one needy twin?
I agree with other posters. My girls have switched back and forth for the last 2 1/2 years. One will definately need you more than the other at certain times.

Yes, Travis has been the needy one since about 3 months old.
