Well, I think we're hitting the peak of the crying curve! That little baby Rayne cries at the drop of a hat. Most of the time she can be settled but Holy crap it's frustrating sometimes. She sets off the toddler so then she's crying too and by the end of the day, mommy feels like crying (like today). Thank God this doesn't last too long!!
For any other moms out there, if you need to vent, here's a good place!!

B will cry if he doesn't have his paci when he's awake and not being fed. I get maybe a few short periods a day where he'll try to interact but then the crying starts. The only cure is the paci. I have seriously mixed emotions for the thing.

I'm with you on mixed paci emotions. I'm so thankful she'll take it to settle, especially in the car. But I do find her wanting it more and more.
Yeah, he can't really just be awake and chill. There are things he likes: baths, me standing and bouncing him, the car, diaper changes, his mobile... But he can't seem to just sit on our laps and be content for any length of time.

I'm with you on this. I don't particularly like them, maybe because my mum never used them with us, but I honestly don't know what I'd do to cope if the twins hadn't taken to them. I'm just hoping that it's a temporary measure until they're a little more manageable at 3+ months and I can resort to other solutions.

Same here. We're awake? Entertain me.
Here too. I spend so much time bouncing with him on the yoga ball.

We decided to go out to eat the other night. It was a ridiculous bad idea. I spent my meal awkwardly comfort nursing in the booth, patting her back between bites. No pacifier here, she all of a sudden refuses her soothie. I sent H out last night and told him to buy a bunch of different brands. My nipples need a break!
+1 for the yoga ball being pretty much the only thing she likes. And her changing pad...she loves to stare at the walls when she's on there. Sometimes we just hang out on the changing pad to get a break from the crying!
She took a pacifier when we first introduced it, but now usually fights it.
H keeps saying it's not normal for a baby to cry all the time she's not being fed. And I keep telling him she's young and will outgrow it. The 4th trimester is no joke.
ars093s we joke that the changing pad is a reset button for Miles.
same here. My first was a constant pacific sucker from 5 weeks on. At 5 months she spit it out and never wanted it again, but it certainly saved us in those early months.
Seriously, it's a lifesaver. Literally the only thing that calms her down instantly. I can do other things like walk and rock her, but the ball is instantaneous.
Sometimes I want to pop it I'm so sick of it, but I know there would be hell to pay.

Another +1 for the magic of the yoga ball with calming LO. He needs constant motion while he is awake - the yoga ball gives me the opportunity to sit a bit while still bouncing him. It is my go to if I need to do something on my desktop pc while holding or wearing him. I will say that after a while, my back and tailbone get tired of it, though. I thank this board for the idea to use it, and when I visit my parents or inlaws, the ball comes with me haha.
