1. Nanny late due to public transport - what's the protocol?
--------------------------------------------------------
bhavna12 - 2/5/2013 11:57 am

 Public transportation was delayed this morning and our
 nanny was 30 min late. What's the protocol? Does she
 leave 30 later than usual or it doesn't make a
 difference? I can understand, it happens. I just don't
 want it to happen all the time and then uses public
 transport as an excuse. I don't think she would, but I
 don't want to tempt her to do that either.We have
 guaranteed her a set number of hours each week so her
 pay is the same if we let her leave a bit early.
 Thoughts?

 Hmmmm. When my nanny is late for whatever reason she
 stays late. But then again she usually offers. Sent

are a
 TON of fabric options and choices for the glider and it
 can be either upholstered or slip covered. Tent mail me
 if you want more info or would like to see pics of
 mine. It was definitely money well spent for us, I use
 it multiple times a day/night.

Topic: which is the "best" formula?

 Hello,
 the babies (B / G) are now 5 months+ one week. they are
 eating more and more...

 We also used Earth's Best. I did a lot of research, and
 actually thought that Baby's Only had the best
 ingredients, but for a couple of different reasons we
 decided to go with Earth's Best. I'd be happy to share
 my thoughts if you're interested, but I think it's a
 little too much to include here. Message me if you to
 chat more about it One other thought: if your kids have
 been on Similac, they could get constipated when you
 make the switch to another formula. Corn syrup - the
 sweetener in most major brands - has a natural laxative
 effect, so if your kids are used to that, and you take
 it away, they might get backed up.When we first
 switched from Similac to Baby's Only the kids got
 REALLY constipated. Then we switched back to Similac,
 and then made a gradual switch to Earth's Best (mixing
 the two formulas for a while) and they were fine.

 Breast milk and cow's milk also have more sugar than I
 would have thought, and the ingredients in baby formula
 can make your hair stand on end. I don't know how much
 difference "organic" makes given what goes into it, so
 I would focus more on what you baby digests easily. We
 had issues with constipation with Similac and some
 other brands, but our girls have been on Gerber Protect
 for a few months now and seem to be doing great in that
 department. (It could just be that their digestive
 tracts matured at about the same time we switched, with
 babies, who knows??) Good luck--all of this guesswork
 can be frustrating, can't wait for the girls to be on
 100 real food!

 If I can't find a nanny for my twins soon I will become a

 Thanks for all of the great ideas! Should we try and
 schedule a time/place to meet up for a walk? I
 actually have never taken the babies out in the car to
 go walk somewhere myself, but perhaps it's about time I
 tried that. I'm definitely a bit nervous though.

 Yes! I would be happy to travel to wherever for a
 walking meetup! Either GG Park or Crissy Field area (?)

 Hi, I love to walk in GG park too. I usually go after
 the 10am feeding. My twins are almost 4 months old now.
 We should try to arrange to meet up. It would be nice
 to chat and walk!

 We have 5.5 mo old (adjusted) B/G twins. Right now
 both my husband and I are SAH as our professional
 obligations are p/t for a while longer. Are there other
 dads SAH? My husband would like to know more folks,
 specially men, who are at home with their twin
 infants.We have some day help, are interviewing for
 nannies, but who knows how long this will take...How do
 you get reenergized after the babies go to sleep? I
 often crash by 8:30 pm.
