1. When do babies outgrow "the witching hour"?
--------------------------------------------------------
jeccat - 11/1/2012 6:57 pm

 Hi moms-- my 3.5 mo twins are at their fussiest between
 4:30 and their 6:30 pm bedtime, which means that my
 husband usually comes home to two screaming babies and
 me doing gymnastics to try to keep them calm. I am
 going back to work next month and it has me wondering:
 Will all I see of my babies during the week be their
 screaming little faces? Or will they outgrow the
 evening fussies soon?

Topic: Swing help?

 Any suggestions on a good infant swing? We live in the city
 and don't have much room...

 My kids loved the fisher price ocean swing (around $99
 at the time) and did not like their graco $179 swing.
 The person who bought the fp swing from me said she had
 it for her first baby and loved it. I would just get
 the simplest fisher price swing. Battery operated is
 good -- the batteries only had to be changed once in
 ten months. I found it to be a big help. Also, if you
 are looking for pack n plays, get the simplest,
 lightest model without ant of the music and change tray
 gimmicks which you will never use. Sent from my iPhone

 out.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0042D69WY/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DERI

 our girls are 15 months now. the swing was so useful! 
 even critical! i loved our hand-me-down, looked kind
 of like this

 http://compare.ebay.com/like/181003027127?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar.
 we only had one swing. usually i was wearing the
 other baby or she was in the lalapanzi.one feature to
 look for in the fisher price line of swings is the
 ability to rotate the chair to face it to swing EITHER
 side to side OR forward to back. one of our girls
 liked swinging in it one way and the other preferred
 the other way! hope that helps. best, jen

 My routine is 4:15 to 5:00 p.m. go for a walk so the
 babies can take a catnap in the stroller, during which
 time I let the house get pretty warm. When we get
 back, I let the babies play naked and air out for about
 10-15 minutes. They usually don't pee but in case they
 do, I place them on a large folded towel with a Huggies
 changing pad underneath. I draw their bath and bathe
 them one at a time from 5:30 to 5:45 p.m. I don't wash
 their hair every day, and when I do, it's not at bath
 time. The first gets bathed and clothed and then
 placed on the activity mat while I bathe the next. 
 Both get fed starting at around 5:50 to 6:00 p.m. in a
 dim room. They're in bed by 6:45 to 7:00 p.m. 
 Sometimes the whole schedule shifts a little forward or
 backward depending on how the day goes but the routine
 and duration of events stays about the same.

 We don't need a nanny but may need some housekeeping
 every other week. Would she be interested in this, or
 is she primarily seeking nanny work or more frequent
 housekeeping? Thanks.

 cleaning both). My info is bhavna at gmail.com or
 650-440-9477. The twins are a bit fussy so I'll try to
 give you a call a bit later. thank you!

 thank you all for your help. I'm going to try the
 parent console and see how it works. Just FYI.. some
 friends mentioned this as well if anybody is interested
 in trying, cheaper alternative.
