No Interaction

When did your babies start interacting with eachother? It seems like i can lay them together, and they dont even notice the other is there. Are they just too young still?


kenneth and Ian are 5 weeks old

 

About 5 months is when they really started to notice each other.

 

At 3 months my girls started noticing each other more. At 3.5 months they started babbling to each other.

 

we were probably in month 4 before they started really noticing each other. and it wasn't until month 6 that they really started grabbing at each other and really watching each other intensely.

Ditto Mine are just starting to grab for each other's noses

 

At 5 weeks my guys acted like the other one didn't exist. Now they coo at each other sometimes, and are aware enough to wake each other up, but I'm still the main person in their universe.

 

Mine didn't notice each other for a few months either. I felt kind of bad about it because I had a friend with twins and her's were holding hands from day one.

But you know, watching these little guys discover each other was soooo fun! First they'd stare at each other while nursing, and it just went on from there! Now they talk to each other and grab each other's toys, etc.

 

Mine started noticing each other when they're 4months...after which they just keep grabbing each other's clothes, nose, ears and hair!! Gizelle now has a liking to 'gel' Nathan's hair with her saliva too! :rotflmbo:

 

Okay I'm going to admit I'm relieved to hear they may not interact with each other until they get a little older. My girls just turned 3 months last week and you'd swear they are ignoring each other. My DH says it stems from a beef they had with each other in the womb They are really just starting to interact with us so we're hoping interaction with each other will follow soon!

 

Mine notice each other, I don't know if they realize it's another baby or not, but they will stare at the other one....say I'm holding one in my arms and the other beside me on the couch, if they see each other they just stare and stare. My daughter did coo a bit at my son the other day too. And I have laid them on the couch facing each other several times and they are whapping and kicking each other, but I don't think it's on purpose yet!

 

5 weeks was way too early for mine to notice... I remember even at several months old my parents would say when I picked them up from a visit that they'd "introduced" them to each other "again"! too funny! it is so funny now, at 13 months... they laugh & giggle and steal each other's pacifiers... the pink & purple one looks so cute in my boy's mouth!

 

I am so happy to read this thread. I felt a little guilty not having the girls co-bedding because the NICU said absolutely not and I thought my girls would feel "abandoned" from each other or something based on the twin books I read. I have noticed my girls don't even want to be near each other at 13 weeks, they like their space, and I always wondered if it was because we "separated" them after birth.

Thank you for this thread! I am sure in a couple of short months they will start interacting...

 

Once mine started sitting up at about 7 months they really started to notice each other.

 

Ruby has always clung to her big sis, it seems like from day1 but Amber hasn't wanted anything to do with her...that is until the last month. They stare into each others eyes now, talk to each other, hold hands & feet, snuggle, Amber strokes her sister, not sure about this one but they kick each other and take it in turns to whine. It's lovely to just leave them to it and see what they get upto. Times like this make me soooo thankful they have each other and always will.

When I brought Jack home from NICU (18 days old), I thought there would be this incredible bonding moment between him and Nate, where they would turn their heads toward each other, stare deeply into each others' eyes, and sigh with contentment now that they were reunited. Not so much. They totally ignored each other for the first several months, and it wasn't until they started smiling that they would react to each other.

Now they still mostly play by themselves, but will steal each others' toys. And a few times a week one will catch the other's gaze and just shriek with laughter!

 

Ours were around 3 months, but they are just now starting to notice each other a little more. (The past 2 months it was more of a passing glance; now they really watch each other.)
