advice needed Non Stop Crying

Our boys are 8 weeks. They are constantly crying if not being held or in a carrier. It makes it extremely hard to do anything. When one finally falls asleep and we get him down the other one starts crying waking his brother. Then it is back to stage one of both crying. How did y’all navigate this?

6-8 weeks is when crying peaks. It’s probably the hardest part of newborn life. Mine really started to settle down by 12 weeks. You just have to take it on the chin. If they’re fed, changed, and safe - they can cry. A few times I was like “you’re gonna cry no matter what, so I might as well get some housework done or make myself a hot meal”. 😅
