4 month twins hard

Did anyone else find it gets harder? My girl twins are now 4 months old and they are no longer sleepy newborns. I'm finding it very hard to be home by myself with them. They have both started to demand a lot of attention and it is difficult to meet both there needs. Everyone says it gets easier. Maybe it's just a faze. Sorry I just really needed to vent and see if anyone is going through the same thing. Thanks ladies!

    Mine are 8 months. We have gone through a few phases of easier. It seems like every few weeks we have a week or two of hard, then a few easier and then the cycle starts again. One if mine started pulling up 2 weeks ago. It was hard as she kept falling & pulling things on herself. Now that she has the hang of it is better. In a week the other will be pulling himself up & probably pulling her down on him. So, you are not alone. I think it gets easier because we get a system/routine going, but then they change it all up again. The smiles & giggles & wet sloppy kisses do make it more fun! Hang in there!

    I agree with the pp , it's a cycle of easy and hard weeks. Mine are 11 months and going through nap issues now they just want to play all day. Every time we hit a rough patch I try to remind myself that it's a phase and it will get better eventually.

    I also agree with the pp.  Life with twins is a roller coaster ride!  :)  

    What helped me around 4 months was the EASY schedule (Eat-Activity-Sleep/Your time).  It was a 4-hr cycle for me.  For example, 8am--eat (bottle) 8:45-10:15--activity (play mat, jumperoo, trips to Target, bouncy seats, etc), 10:15-noon--sleep (your time).  The kids would take four bottles: 8am, noon, 4pm,  8pm.  Not every day was perfect, but this schedule helped so much and allowed most of days to become more predictable, and it helped me to run errands during their "activity" time and if I was feeling crazy to also to take a shower (lol).  :)

    My guys are just shy of 4 months and it's hard! For me it's still easier than before because I'm getting sleep now and I have my son's reflux under control, but they are so demanding now. I make sure to have clear activities for them now and that seems to help. Trips to the mall to walk around, trips to the park, play dates with other littles, standing and rolling practice, reading books etc. they are just so curious these days.

    You've hit the dreaded four month wakeful period. It sucks, but it will pass soon.

    Thanks for the replies girls!! I'm glad I'm not alone and knowing it could just be a faze is very reassuring. We have just started them on a reflux medication so I think that is part of the problem their little bodies are just adjusting to it. Thanks again great to have people to talk to that understand!
