10 month old twins
My twins are 10 months and to say the last few months has been hard would be an understatement. In December (when I started to notice) t2 was up so often in the night, every single night. Literally being held to go back to sleep and then once he was in the cot he would wake either instantly or within half an hour. Worried he would wake t1 meant I always tended to him. We tried lots to help this - making sure naps in the day went to plan and sticking ti a routine. Eventually we decided to remove the dummy. This had a dramatic impact and he started sleeping through. Problem was that from this moment, t1 (who had always slept right through) was waking throughout the night. We’ve had bouts of either teething or viral issues with him having a temperature but it is now worse than ever because they are both awake periodically throughout the night. My husband is helping too but even this doesn’t give any respite when they are both up so frequently!
I don’t know what to do. I am not coping. I am worried about driving because I feel I am going to fall asleep at the wheel, I feel overwhelmed and that I cannot give them what they need. I am due to return to work next month and the thought is making me physically sick because how on earth am I going to cope working when I can’t function as it is now? Please, if you have any suggestions of what I could try to help the situation please let me know.
