1. Pumping while propping newborn twins with bottles

 Hi multiples mamas and papas, I have a good friend who
 just delivered twins at 38 weeks and I'm having trouble
 recalling at what point we were able to "prop" them
 with bottles. I'm hoping some of you who have done
 this more recent than me can help. At some point
 fairly early on, I would nurse both babies and then
 prop them with their bottles while I pumped. 
 Currently, my friend is nursing her babes, then
 bottling them (one/parent) and then waiting until all
 that is done to pump. I am worried she is not getting
 enough of a break b/c soon after she pumps it's time to
 nurse again. I also know at some point fairly early on
 my partner helped by bottling both at once while I
 pumped. I am sure her partner (or whoever is around)
 can also help with this but I'm just not sure if there
 was a magic "age" we felt comfortable doing this or if
 we just started from the very beginning. They are so
 tiny now (easy to forget and mine are only almost 2
 years now) so I just want to give her advise that is
 safe. Her doc also recommended to nurse, then wait to
 pump in between nursing sessions to increase her supply
 (vs pumping right after nursing - which is what I was
 told to do to increase my supply). Any thoughts on
 timing of pumping for supply reasons? Thanks for any
 tips you can offer from your recollection/experience!

 We're redoing my 15-year old twin daughters' rooms, and
 have bedroom furniture and other items which we will
 no longer be using, including a pine armoire, pine
 twin bed, brass twin daybed. Some free items also. 
 All items posted at classifieds, more are coming, so
 do check back. I would love to clear out my garage,
 and SFPOM is our favorite way to list -- we'd love to
 see some items go to other multiple families. Carla,
 Caroline
