 I have fraternal g/g twins, 5 months old. One is 3 lbs
 heavier and definitely likes her bottles better than
 the slow flowing breast. I have supplemented since
 about month two, and am wondering the best way to divvy
 up the good stuff. Currently, the littler one ends up
 getting more bm because she loves to be on the boob. 
 Big girl BFs about once a day, and gets the 4-8 oz that
 I pump at night. I'm going back to work next month, so
 I guess it'll be easier to divide the ounces that I
 bring home. I think largely I'm worrying about my
 supply decreasing when I start work, and trying to keep
 up the BFing on my days off. At five months I'm
 starting to get back into my real life again, and don't
 really want BFing to just fade away. When they were
 first born I was BFing, pumping, constantly trying to
 increase my milk. Alas, it just was never enough for
 them both. I fear getting a bit lazy with it though,
 so I guess I'm looking for a little support to keep
 going!

2. Babies R Us Trade-in Sale
--------------------------------------------------------

 I know this group is great for re-using high ticket
 items, but in case you're in need of equipment and no
 one is selling, this sale is a way to get a 25%
 discount...if you have something to trade in.That's
 where I come in. I have two used car seats that are
 expired that you may have to use as your trade-in in
 order to get your 25% off. The details of the trade-in
 deal can be found through this link,
 http://www.toysrus.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=4346706&camp=CME:EM090712K%20BRU%202-Day%20SaleI
 live at California and Arguello and will be around most
 of the weekend so please email me if you're interested
 in having one or both. I've been meaning to take these
 to the store to safely recycle them, but my
 procrastination can become your discount.You can email
 me directly at Sharon at SFUsborneBooks.com

 We are seeking someone with twin experience to help as
 a Mother's Helper three days per week. Our identical
 twin boys were born in late August. Any
 recommendations from other parents are greatly
 appreciated. If you have a spare second, please send
 your recommendations to me at: jonesba28 at gmail.com
 Thank you for helping us.

 I suggest that you and your husband agree about the
 expectations/draw up a list and then meet with the
 nanny and share your expectations/give direction. Tell
 her that you will give her one week to work things
 out/comply with your requests. If she doesn''t, let
 her go and find someone else. You'll be so much
 happier in the end. I know from experience!!!

 My first nanny I fired after 4 months because I just
 didn't trust her with the kids, which is a big deal. 
 It sounds like you both have some concerns that might
 involve trust so you do need to agree on priorities but
 you also want someone you are comfortable with. She
 was a nightmare and complained too much about an
 amazing job (we provided medical
