Question for MoMs of IDs...

Can you tell your babies' cries apart?  DH and I have been trying to guess who's crying to see if we can... and we're failing miserably.  Is there a point where you've been able to tell patterns of crying from one baby to another...

just curious...

    Mine are only 2 weeks old but nope. I can't tell one cry from another. I can barely tell one face from another. I had to paint a few of R's fingernails so DH and I could tell who's who.

    Occassionally, but most of the time no way.

    Don't worry!  It gets better and easier!   I still paint their toenails as a backup for their grandmas.

    I couldn't for a long time... our girls are approaching 10 months and just in the last month or so I can tell their cries apart pretty easily (and their personalities have really been differing lately too, so I think that's part of it).  DH has actually been pretty good at picking out their cries for the last few months!

    Sometimes yes and sometimes not. They do have different crying "habits" but as soon as I think I have it all figured out, they switch on me or something.

    Sometimes. They were 2 lbs apart at birth and it was easier because Katelynn's cry was more powerful than Leah's. Now that they're both bigger, though still about 2 lbs apart, it's sometimes harder to tell. Most of the time I can - they just have a little bit different sound.

    Yes I could from pretty much the beginning only because preston had the and still does have the worlds loudest cry I have ever heard! Jordana always had a softer cry!

    Yes, at 4 months we were right about 75% of the time.

    this! 

    It seems like we're headed in this direction.  It just never occurred to me that it would be something we'd have trouble with!  I was so worried about telling their faces apart, but i never even thought that their cries would be the same (seriously, duh)
