Baby development-non plagio

[Guest guest]

I have a question for all you experienced moms out there.

I have twins who are 15 1/2 months old. One twin is STILL crying every time I put him down for a nap or to bed, and he still cries every time he wakes up. It seems to me at this point he should have outgrown it. I do plan to speak to his pediatrician about it (along with their complete disinterest in walking), but has anybody here had a similar situation with their baby and did it resolve itself? I would appreciate any input because I am beginning to get a little concerned.

Thanks!

My 2 year old daughter did the same thing until she was about 18-19

months old. She did not want to go to sleep and because she didn't

sleep enough she would be upset when she woke. We used the Ferber

method to resolve it. You should be able to type Ferber into the

search engine at Babycenter.com. His book is called " How to solve

your Child's Sleep Problems " or something along those lines!

She is a great sleeper at night now. Naps are another story!

I actually do have the Ferber book, and with its help they now sleep through the whole night! It's just that Tommy feels he has to cry about 5-10 minutes before he will fall asleep. Every AM I am woken up by his screams to be taken out of his crib. Once he's asleep, he's pretty good, it's just the before and after he acts like he's having his toenails pulled out!

Jill I used to babysit a little boy for 5 yrs and he always did

that too till he was about three. He had a sister that never cried

and we did the same with them both. He was so bad it was awful to

listen to. They just eventually get mature and dont cry.

My 4.5 yr old cries every night but 90% of the time its fake and

you can threaton or bribe het to stop. I'm more suprised if she

doesent cry. My little one hardly ever cries and is a anjel. I think

theres not much you can do except back peddle and sleep with them

which I would strongly not recommend.

soon all this will be over and like me you'll be waving them off

to Kindergatren and can hardly remember them giving you a hard time.

Hi Jill,

I've got a three year old and a 13 month old, different as night and day. My three year old, now a beautiful sleeper, was never one to just go down. And he also woke up a little cross and needed time before he got going well. My 13 month old goes down so much easier and wakes up with a smile (so great). I guess even with twins they can be very different. My philosophy has really been to adapt my style to my baby. With both, I have a really structured bed time routine. . snack, brush teeth, read stories, lights out (and rock). At 18 months, Sam (now 3) moved to a " big boy " bed because he was climbing out of the crib. I put the twin mattress on the floor so if he rolled out it wouldn't be far, and I lay down with him after stories for a little while. After naps, I let him snuggle in my lap until he woke up a bit more. I think it's just a question of temperament. After reading a lot of child development books (I especially like the Sear's books), I decided to go with my instincts. I also realized that his fussiness wasn't because of something I was doing wrong. With my second little guy, sleep is as easy as pie, so I can definitely say it's temperament. Having said all that, I cannot begin to imagine being a mother of twins!!! I bet you are doing a great job. Hang in there.
