nataliasha2004 - 1/16/2013 10:48 pm

 Greetings, POM members!! [FB users, please excuse the
 cross-posting!] Just an update on the volunteer
 positions we still have available, in case you might
 be!! It's a GREAT way to network within the Club, and
 to make a real, concrete difference in the lives and
 experiences of your fellow multiples families. MOST of
 the work is done on your own schedule, from the comfort
 of your own computer.Please contact me at
 president at sfpom.org, if you're interested in info on
 any of the following:* Expert Speaker Series
 Coordinator -- plan 4-8 speaker sessions/yr. These are
 a free but incredibly valuable benefit for our members.
 Past topics have included: Baby Sign Language, how to
 find a nanny, traveling with kids, understanding infant
 behavior, and more. (Sessions have historically been on
 weeknights, but this is flexible.) We have a number of
 regular speakers, but there's also room to identify
 others you think would be of interest.* Family Outings
 Planner - Plan 3 events per year for SFPOM families to
 gather and socialize. These events are held on
 weekends, typically in one of the City's many parks.*
 Newsletter Editor/Content Manager (the latter once we
 get our website redesigned.) Oversee the creation of a
 couple more paper editions of Multiplicity, and then
 manage its new, online version, once that's up and
 running.* Dads' Night Out Planner. Coordinate 2-4 DNOs
 per year. This is not much more involved than making
 reservations and posting a little info.* Fall
 Consignment Sale. We need a variety of different kinds
 of helpers for the Sale this fall, which we expect to
 be the best one yet!We are an all-volunteer
 organization, and we rely on the energy, kindness,
 expertise and enthusiasm of our members to keep our
 Club strong and healthy. (&, fyi, several of the above
 positions also provide discounted membership for your
 family.)Thanks for considering!Natasha
 Glushkoff(President, SFPOM)

 If you haven't already done so, please join our Club
 page on Facebook! It's a rather more user-friendly way
 to share info with other Club members. (And, if your
 partner is not on BigTent, be sure they sign up,
 too!)Once in FB, search for "SFPOM" in the Search field
 at the top to get to our page. You'll have to request
 permission, and one of the administrators will approve
 you, as long as you're a POM member.Hope to see you
 there soon! : )

 There usually is one once a quarter I think. The last
 one was in early December. I'm looking forward to the
 next one. It was great to meet all the other twin
 mom's.

 We LOVE the Stokke... now that the kids are almost 3
 years old. We couldn't use them for about 18 months
 for a variety of reasons. First, we took them away and
 found a different solution because having
 babies/toddlers at the dining room table isn't as great
 as it seems (they smear food all over, and BANG their
 utensils, and we have a very nice antique table that
 was getting destroyed. You'd need to purchase the
 Stokke tray accessory to avoid this, and I'd already
 spent enough on Stokke things at that point!) Then we
 tried again and had to take them away again because at
 14 months (or so) they started tipping backwards in
 them. (I urge you to youtube "stokke high chair
 dangerous" for an example of what I'm talking about. I
 caught my daughter just inches before hitting the
 ground once - so into the garage they went. And yes,
 we were using the "fix" leg extenders the company had
 made so this wasn't supposed to happen.) All that
 said, now we LOVE them, and we'll have several more
 years of using them. Also, I had two friends with
 Stokke who didn't have the tipping children problem
 that I did, so it's a matter of whether or not your
 child thinks to put their feet up and push back during
 the window of time that their legs are short enough to
 do it. Good luck! (Also, you're anonymous so I don't
 know if you're just pregnant or if you have kids that
 are ready for high chairs. If you're just pregnant,
 you don't need high chairs for a LONG time, especially
 if you have preemies. You don't start solids until at
 least 6 months, and we had much better success feeding
 the babies in the vibrating chairs for the first
 several months. So no need to rush out until you're
 sure about what you want to purchase.)

 i just got the OXO sprout two days ago. So far so good.
 The girls seem to like it, and it is pretty easy to
 clean, just wipe down. I like that we can keep them
 till the girls are 5 years old. I guess I liked the
 OXO over the stoke because I didn't have to buy any
 extra seats, or cushions which was just more to buy.

 I've heard the depth in the oxo tot chair is not as
 much as the stokke as they grow older. Realistically,
 how long will they sit in high chairs?I'll look up the
 dangers of the stokke - had no idea!Oxo tot seems more
 reasonable in price but then stokke can be used as a
 regular chair anywhere later on. Does stokke promote
 children to sit upright at earlier ages? I vaguely
 remember something like that I read years ago.We have
 twins that are close to solid food age. Decided to go
 anonymous because of the brands. ;)

 We just had our twins birthday party at San Francisco
 Gymnastics. It was such a great party. They can
 accomodate 20 kids for one price and then for each
 additional kid they tack on a few more dollars p/k. We
 had a great time. Would recommend checking it out.

 So much information here! For what it's worth, I went
 to a feeding class at Kaiser and did some reading, and
 our approach was to offer solids 30-60 minutes after
 the bottle. The idea was that RIGHT after a bottle
 they're not that interested in solids, and solids right
 before a bottle can be frustrating, since they are
 hungry and don't understand that the solid food will
 address that problem (and hungry isn't the best way to
 learn a new skill) . The schedule worked well for us -
 they still did fine with the bottle, and did a pretty
 good job of exploring solids. I don't remember the
 exact specifics, and I didn't keep notes, but a sample
 schedule would be:6:30 wake6:45 bottle (essentially
 right after waking, it just took 15 minutes to get
 everyone up and changed and get the bottles, etc.)7:30
 solids9:30 nap11:00 wake11:15 bottle12:00 solids1:30
 nap3:00 wake3:15 bottle4:00 solids6:00 last
 bottle6:15/6:30 bedWhen we first started introducing
 solids, we started with a midday meal, then added
 breakfast, and dinner was last. (I think we didn't add
 dinner until 9 months or so). That was mostly because
 the afternoon was our best shot at an outing, and being
 home to do solids in the middle of it was restrictive.
 One downside to this schedule is that with the spacings
 between bottles and solids, it can be hard to get out
 as much... but it worked well for us in terms of
 introducing solid foods, and the more comfortable they
 get with it the more likely you can feed them while out
 and about, and or adjust the schedule to meet your
 needs better.Good luck!

 we recently started using wifibaby.net which only comes
 with the camera and you can view via iOS app, Android,
 or etc. Its been great so far as we can see our day
 nanny and kids on our iPhone, browser, or iPad. One
 issue is night vision is great but the company is
 sending a revised version of our camera which should
 resolve any night vision issues. Devin is the sales guy
 and Gary is an awesome support tech.
