Twin 1 never leaves twin 2 alone!

Hi everyone!

i have 8.5 month old fraternal twin girls and just looking for some advice! Twin 1 is our dominant twin I would say , she’s very active, doesn’t sit still ever and she’s on the move! (Army crawling to places she shouldn’t be at a speedy pace 😂) Twin 2 is a lot more sensitive, will sit and play on her own and is a bit of a mummies girl. Both are lovely in their own ways!

However twin 1 doesn’t even leave twin 2 alone! Ever! She is constantly climbing her, stealing her toys off her (despite having the exact same one!!) pulling her hair , grabbing her face. She will travel across the room just to get at her. Of course this leads to a lot of crying from twin 2 and it’s a bit relentless! As they’re only 8.5 months they don’t really know right from wrong (i assume) so I’m constantly playing referee and pulling twin 1 off of her. I know it’s only going to get worse when we hit toddler stage. Any advice on how to deal with it for now??

Playpen for Twin 2 and her toys when she's happily playing on her own?

I think a playpen sounds like an excellent idea Wink

It's a long term issue I'm afraid. Myboys are 3.5 and the one that used to crawl all over his brother still does....
