 Hello,My name is Laura Wehrley and I'm looking for a
 daytime nanny to help us for at least a couple of
 months with our one month old twin boys. We'd like the
 person to start mid November from 10am to 5pm Monday
 through Friday. I'm feeding them every 3 hours so
 basically need help with the feedings, bottle/pump part
 cleaning, etc. We live in North Beach. Any suggestions?
 You can email me at lbwehrley at gmail.com or call
 415-283-9967. Thanks!

2. Best bottles for colic?
--------------------------------------------------------

 I am using Dr. Brown's natural flow (level 1 nipple)
 for my twins who are 3 weeks adjusted age. We are using
 breastmilk, but breastfeeding has been a real struggle
 so just bottle-feeding.They are super gassy in general
 and we have to burp them a lot during feeds. Almost
 every late afternoon/ evening, their tummies swell up
 with gas and feel hard. Even when they burp they do not
 get relief and we end up with two screaming babies for
 a few hours. Gripe water, gas drops, probiotics,
 nothing seems to help. :(Any other recs for gas
 reducing bottles besides Dr. Browns? Any suggestions
 are appreciated!Thank you!

 hi,i swore by the tommee tippee anti-colic bottles. 
 they act like mom's breast - wide nipple, and the
 anti-colic ones don't drip. we tried the normal tommee
 tippee bottles and they were a disaster until the girls
 were 10-12 months and could handle the drip/air, etc. 
 but the anti-colic bottles require sucking, so the
 babies don't get any air or milk dripping down their
 throats that they can't keep up with. what about
 modifying your diet to remove the most frequent
 allergens one by one...dairy, gluten, etc. for a week
 or two at time and see if that helps at all?even though
 you've tried this, i still recommend keeping up with
 the probiotics - it can't hurt, can only help (i
 believe). either by adding some adult version to your
 diet so they get into your breastmilk, or add some baby
 powder to the bottles. i added it (still do at 15
 months) to the bottles. i'm sure you know this
 already, but you can get infant probiotics at
 wholefoods or rainbow grocery in the refrigerated
 sections. udo's baby
 
 probiotics(http://www.amazon.com/Udos-Choice-Infants-Probiotic-2-64-Ounces/dp/B0010EG6QC)
 or jarro's
