[quote=Anonymous]Agree with above.  Short term:  do what you can for the fussy twin while getting the twin with an actual need squared away.  Long term:  track levels of fussiness for both and look for underlying causes.  Sleep issue and gas/reflux would be my first guess is you have one permanently miserable baby.  But being held is a want, diaper change is a need.

I will also say that part of this is how you set up the house.  If your diaper station is on a table upstairs only, and you normally sit in a glider to sooth fussy baby, you are setting yourself up for trouble.  I prefer to sooth and play sitting on the floor with a bin full of clean bottles and formula and bottled water and burp cloths and a bin full of diapers, wipes, cream and blankets both within reaching distance.  That way I can hold fussy baby while grabbing the diaper bin, laying a blanket on the floor, opening a diaper, and getting wipes and cream out and open, while talking to wet baby, then switch kids and do a diaper change REALLY fast, with everything ready.  I don't like walking out of the room while a baby cries.[/quote]
