 Please also consider volunteering to help with planning
 the monthly speaker meetings. There is no scheduled
 meeting in June and 4 or 5 events need to be planned
 for the fall. If interested in taking over, have ideas
 for speakers or topics let me know. Thanks,James

2. What type of nanny worked for you (day/night/both)?

 We are trying to plan what kind of help we will need
 for our twins when they arrive this fall. We will be at
 my mom's house for the first month or two so we will
 have some help, but she is getting older and although
 she wants to do a lot - I know she will get really
 tired. With that said, I'd like to get some
 recommendations on what has worked for people in a
 similar situation.Please let me know what you recommend
 - night nanny for the first month, few months, daytime
 nanny after that? Or daytime nanny all the way? I would
 like to do things on my own as well if I can after
 recovery...while I'm home until I go back to work in
 3-4 months of their arrival.All thoughts are
 welcome!Thank you in advance!

3. 16 month messy feeding - its gotten crazy!

 Hi All,My 16 mo girls have gotten to be so crazy messy
 and demanding when eatingin their high chairs... every
 time I feed them I just dread it because theystart
 throwing food on the floor, making a big mess, refusing
 to be spoonfed, yelling for me to give them specific
 items off the table, gettingtheir bibs off, trying to
 squirm out of their high chairs, ect. I know thisis a
 phase, and of curse it make sense they want to spoon
 feed themselvesand have control over the whole feeding
 process but I don't recall thingsbeing so out of
 control with my son. Any suggestions on how to
 startcalming things down a bit? One bite at a time?
 :)Thanks,-Aleks

 Have you tried giving them finger food? Maybe just give
 up on the spoon feeding for a while so it's not such a
 battle. Another thing to try is to set a rule that
 throwing food on the floor immediately ends the meal.
 Try not to get angry or show much reaction (so they
 don't try to work to get a reaction), just calmly put
 everything away and take them out of their chairs. I
 haven't been through this phase with twins yet, so
 maybe it's worse than with a singleton... Yikes. You
 can also invest in a couple of splat mats to contain
 the mess.

Topic: Pediatrician & Dentist on Peninsula

 Hi Moms,

 We are moving to the peninsula and I'll need to find a new
 pediatrician...

Send comment to: 
With subject line: "Ref#68796794 - Pediatrician Daly City; Burlingame;
San
 Carlos; San Mateo). Flex evening and weekend hours (for
 both regular and drop-in appts) - Check the office near
 you for specifics. Impressed with both the quality and
 warmth of the docs (our kids are 5, so we've seen a lot
 of the staff @ Seton/Daly City/San Mateo) --
 informative, conversant, and non-alarmist. Experienced
 with multiples. Organized, timely, and responsive
 front-office staff. Centralized billing for all
 offices. Easy to get to, free and plentiful parking @
 most offices. Our dentist, Shore View Dental
 (http://www.shoreviewdental.net/) is terrific - they're
 in Pacifica, 1st exit (Manor) @ north end of town.
 Husband/wife team, Dr. Sepi Vafi is the peds dentist,
 and she's simply wonderful. They have two kids of their
 own, so understand the kid thing, and the office staff
 is organized, on time, and on the ball.Congrats on your
 move! Getting a lay of the land, getting settled, and
 finding new providers can be a job in itself!Best,-
