Twins soothe and comfort each other?

Does anyone here have twins that comfort each other? When I was still pregnant, I had quite a few people tell me that twins are easier because they soothe and comfort each other. My boys definitely do NOT comfort each other. If I lay them down together for a nap, they will not go to sleep and will cry and fuss. When I separate them, they sleep with no problem. Funny thing though, when one is crying while laying right next to the other one, the non-crying baby will fall asleep. Not exactly my idea of soothing each other! :nea:

 

I do think that having one with the other makes them feel more comfortable in certain situations because they are together all the time. But I dont know if I would go as far to say that they sooth and comfort each other ardon:

 

My two absolutely adore each other. We have the odd fight here & there, but overall they are very loving to each other. They have always slept together & have trouble falling asleep separately. Usually when I go to check them at night, they will be asleep with their arm around each other. If one gets hurt, the other is always there with a hug & a kiss. :wub: Give it time, things may change!

 

Mine were separated for their first week because one was in NICU. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

 

Awww....that is sooooo sweet! I hope mine will be close like that!

 

My girls were separated the first week or so in the NICU too, but they do comfort each other. They don't sleep well when they are apart. They have to be touching to fall asleep. Now that they are older they will sometimes kiss each other and they just seem to enjoy each other. Occasionally they will bite or get mad, but for the most part they are very clingy to each other.

 

I think that they can comfort each other, I found mine holding hands a couple times. Two peas in a pod. Maybe it was just the grasp reflex?

 

Not at that age, but as they have grown definitely. It's awesome to see those moments!

ETA...I will say though, that they did enjoy sleeping next to each other those first few months, so I guess they did comfort each other early on.

 

Mine didn't comfort each other when they were 2 months old! LOL
Now that they are getting close to 2 they do though. The snuggle together in the bed every night even though they have their own beds. When I put them down for bed at night it's like a slumber party in their room, they whisper and giggle until they fall asleep.

 

Not when they were infants but I started noticing they do that now. Mine will give each other "eskimo kisses", hugs and one time Luke was having some issues going #2 and Sophia was rubbing his belly going "awww" It was so sweet :wub:

 

I hope Mine grow up like that too! Right now they are on that path. From day one they prefer to be together. They sleep together better, Lia was pissed when I moved them from the bassinet to the crib and they weren't squeezed together anymore. Even now Colin roles over to her and I find them cuddled up to each other. They have to always see each other and be touching each other. I hope they keep it up. I would say for us, yes definitely yes!

 

Mine were like that at a younger age. They did not sleep well at all together unless they were both cuddled up on me! When I switched them to a crib I went straight to seperating them and they did much better seperate than together. They always rolled into each other and woke each other up when together. They did like to be together when awake though. I think it was more "entertainment value" than comfort though. They were used to looking at the other one. As they've gotten older they have started enjoying each other's company more. They like playing together and are starting to give each other hugs and kisses. That said when one gets hurt the other doesn't go over and try to comfort that one (at least not yet...they're 9 months now). I think that people thinking the soothing/comforting thing might come when they're quite a bit older.
