Dts are now 8 months (6 corrected) have now got quite strong grips, espically Ds who has perfected the neck skin grab and twist, ouch! A couple of times when I've put them down together on a playmat etc I've had to move one away because the other has been going to grab their nose/eyes/ear etc. They usually share a cot, is there any chance they could actually damage each others eyes at all?

My two are 15 months and she will pull his hair for no reason and he will try to bite her! No advice sorry but it's the hardest bit of having twins for me at the mo x

My DTS always tries to grab/push/pinch DTD while tandem breastfeeding, I've taken to putting hs hand in my mouth to stop him! He also tries to go for her eyes on the playmat, or stock his fingers in her ear. however they usually just hold hands and gaze into eachothers eyes which is very sweet. I don't leave them close together on the playmat anymore and they have their own beds. 6 months old and not yet mobile, god knows what I'll do when he can move!
