1. Introducing new formula
--------------------------------------------------------
robynroberts1128 - 2/1/2013 2:50 pm

 One of my twins is super gassy, colicky, etc and our
 pediatrician has suggested trying Nutramigen - the only
 problem is that she will not take it. I am still
 breastfeeding and supplementing w/ formula so any
 suggestions on how to get her to eat the new formula?
 She's 4 mos. Thanks in advance for the help.

 Slowly mix the formula with your breast milk,
 increasing the amount of formula each bottle until
 she's used to the flavor. Good luck!

 Thanks!

 HiNutramegen is unapplealing. That might be why she
 won't take it. I think around 5 months we switched to
 Gerbers gentle formula. My girls drank both, but liked
 the Gerbers better I think. We changed primarily
 because the Nutramegen was so expensive. Good luck.

5. Mothers Helper needed
--------------------------------------------------------
gabriellesparkly - 2/1/2013 2:48 pm

 Hi,We're looking for a mothers helper or part time
 nanny to join us from end of May to help out with my 4
 year old twins after their pre-school term has ended
 and then once they are at summer camp, to help out with
 our third child who is due around July 20th and help
 out with our newborn until the end of October, possibly
 longer. The twins will be back at pre-school at the end
 of August. Does anyone know of anyone looking for
 part-time work like this? Thanks for any leads.

6. SAHM w/infant twins
--------------------------------------------------------
leslieb_sf - 2/1/2013 8:48 am

 If I can't find a nanny for my twins soon I will become
 a SAHM. I'm wondering what other SAHMs with infant
 twins do with them all day long. I know it kind of
 sounds like a dumb question, but I never thought I'd be
 in this position. They are 4.5 months old now, and I'm
 imagining they will start to be able to play with toys,
 etc. soon enough. Any advice/support will be welcome.
 :)

 My twins are the same age as yours and I'm a SAHM (for
 the year, anyway). I'm actually interested in other
 people's answers because I'm always searching for stuff
 to do :) In the morning we do breakfast and household
 chores (they hangout in the front pack and/or play area
 while I talk to them about what I'm doing), there may
 or may not be some singing and dancing to 90s pop :),
 then nap. When they wake up we go for a walk, and nap
 on the walk. After we come home and eat, we have
 playtime, either outside on a blanket if it's nice or
 naked time inside (amazing how much they love tummy
 time when naked!! Just put down a pee pad!). After
 another nap, dad is home, so we put them in the front
 packs and make dinner, play a little, read books, etc.
 Then bed.I try to involve them in stuff I'm doing, like
 if I'm cooking, I put a little of the spices on my
 finger for them to smell, or making the bed, fluff the
 sheets around them. They have 3 play areas we rotate
 around so it's not too repetitive (relatively). One has
 overhead stuff to grab, another a mirror and mobile,
 another a basket of musical instruments and books, etc.
 It's really nice to get out with friends, go to
 museums, or go to the library for baby rhyme time.
 There are also classes like music and dance at Day One.
 I can't wait til they're old enough to enjoy a
 playground!Oh and take 1,000,000 pictures :)It's not
 the most, hmm, mentally stimulating thing I've ever
 done, but it's pretty cool to be present for all those
 moments that happen spontaneously. I think the real
 challenge is making sure to connect with other folks or
 you can get a little stir crazy.Looking forward to
 seeing what others do...and if you are a SAHM, let me
 know if you'd like to meet up for a walk :)
