1. Powder vs. ready made formula
--------------------------------------------------------

 Hi moms,I'm having to supplement with a little formula
 as I'm not quite pumping enough breastmilk (my twins
 are not skilled breastfeeders so switched to bottle
 feeding exclusively after 2 months.) the boys are now 3
 months. Finding the right formula has been tricky as my
 twins have sensitive stomachs (gassy, acid reflux,
 etc.) I'm totally off dairy which has helped so I tried
 soy formula, nutramagin. It smells like a horse & the
 boys tend to spit it out (I would too!) I've also tried
 similac with rice starch but the milk seems to make
 them gassy & fussy. finally, I tried ready-made
 Alimentum which has the milk protein broken down to
 help with lactose sensitive babies. It seems to have
 worked the best, although the still prefer breastmilk.
 So I bought the powder Alimentum & they hate it-
 spitting it out, making disgusted faces, etc. I had to
 run out to the store to buy the ready-made version
 again. Did anyone else have this issue? Is there a
 reason babies would prefer the liquid ready-made vs
 powder? Perhaps they don't have a huge sensitivity to
 milk but instead to whatever is in the powder form b/c
 previous to the Alimentum, I had only tried powder
 formula. Thanks,Laura WehrleyMom to Alex & Tommy, 3
 m/o

2. Sleep training question
--------------------------------------------------------

 Is sleep training when you get your babies to sleep
 through the night, or is it when you get them to go to
 sleep on their own, but they still wake up in the
 middle of the night and need to be fed?

3. Recommendations for Video Baby Monitor?

 We're gearing up for sleep training, and I want to be
 sure the little ones are safe and sound. Anyone have a
 good recommendation for a video baby monitor,
 especially for use at night? Preferably inexpensive.

 We use the Motorola and love it as we can use just one
 camera and pan the room.

 Hi Sarah:We will be in a similar position as well in a
 few months and looking for a minimal convertible car
 seat that doesn't take up much space for our twins.
 Looking forward to what the group has to say about
 convertible seats. How long do they last for? Do we do
 rear or front facing? We have a city select mini and
 got the toddler seats for the stroller so ready from
 that side of things.ThanksBhavna
