Please help. I have twin 6 almost 7 month old baby girls. One twin is an angel, takes a dummy, smiles almost all day and has good naps twice a day. The other well where do I start! Lol she is somewhat more difficult. She flatly refuses to take a dummy, cries, no make that screams herself to sleep no matter what I do. I know that if she would just take a dummy it would sooth her, but on the rare times I've got her to suck it as soon as she can feel herself going to spits it out. She tends to only sleep for between 10-30 minutes twice a day at the mo. Which I know people say she just might not need as much sleep but when she gets up she is still tired and then miserable. She then wants constant attention or she just screams and wails. It means even getting showered and dressed is now proving impossible and my poor 4 year old son isn't getting any quality time whatsoever.
Sorry this is a bit of a long winded rant but I just wondered if anyone had some advice on getting her to take the dummy or sleep longer. Having twins and a 4 year old is hard enough and she just makes it so much more difficult and it really distresses me hearing her screaming herself to sleep all if the time - she even does this when you try to cuddle her to sleep - she really fights against cuddles
