Hoping for a bit of encouragement/hand hold here!

Our much wanted ID twins arrived with us nearly 6 weeks ago, they were 6 weeks early but have thrived since being home.

During the day they are largely issue-free and because they were early they tend to sleep more though they have been more alert the last few days which is lovely.

But the nights are terrible! One or both is always crying or grizzly we suspect trapped wind so are trying drops and a different formula.

I know that this is common for small babies... but it feels relentless. They are feeding every 3 hours so by the time you have fed, winded and comforted one and moved onto the other... it's almost time to start again.

DP is back at work after a short paternity leave. He works a physical job but is helping with the night feeds where he can. We are both however, Exhausted, which results in us snapping at one another and competing over who is the most tired (ridiculous I know!)

Please someone tell me this will get easier?
