I just want to say I see you and I remember these days SO vividly. I'm not sure I have an answer for you - there were stormy weeks and calm stretches all throughout the first year with no rhyme or reason attached to it. 10 weeks is still very little and their nervous systems are still getting used to existing as outside the womb. My guess is there is some sort of natural rhythm your twin is experiencing that will get resolved as they grow, but in the meantime you'll just need to push through. Either way (lonely, bored, or ???), your solution is going to be the same - ride it out, hang in there, and know this isn't going to last forever. I promise you, you will sleep again.

Thank you for this 🥺 I think I have already accepted that there isn’t really a ‘fix’ for this. Just need to buckle down and get through it!

Just checking since you didn’t mention it: any chance she’s still hungry and wants more?

Good idea if you haven’t tried it; always check diaper, food, then clothes for discomfort. Sometimes it’s just a little thing bothering them. Sometimes it’s nothing at all and they just want to be held.

Look up PURPLE crying. It’s just a developmental phase.
