 If actual high chairs rather than hook-ons are an
 option, I recommend the Sven high chairs. They are
 real space savers, pretty attractive, and they last a
 long time. You can adjust them to grow with your boys
 until they are about 4 years old. They are expensive,
 but we found one used on Craigslist for ~$85 when we
 bought ours.

 don't know if this will help...but here's hoping. i had
 bilateral breast reduction 20+ years ago, but the
 method of surgery i had gave the best outlook for being
 able to breastfeed my twins born in july 2011. knowing
 that i'd likely have to supplement from the beginning,
 i did a TON of research on bottles that were least
 likely to cause nipple confusion. the tommee tippee
 anti-colic ones were consistently mentioned as being
 best for this - wide like mama's breast, supple like
 mama's breast, and the anti-colic ones require sucking
 out the milk like breastfeeding (the anti-colic ones
 don't drip). here's a link to the bottles:

 some other moms who breastfed more than i did can offer
 more advice. hang in there. those first four months
 are tough! let us know how it goes! best, jen

 Studies have shown that extended time in a car seat
 lowers an infant's oxygen levels, and can put undue
 pressure on their spine.

 http://children.webmd.com/news/20090824/infant-car-seats-may-lower-oxygen-levelsFor
 a preemie whose oxygen levels are of special concern,
 I'd follow the doctor's recommendation and keep them
 flat whenever possible, including on walks.

 My advice would be to stock up on premie diapers if
 your going to use disposibles. In our first few days
 home we found it hard to find premie diapers and
 resorted to ordering online. Also dont forget premie
 onesies, we found premie clothes pretty hard to find
 and now that we dont need them we see them all the
 time. Dont forget their outfit to go home in has to be
 premie too. We had bought newborn sized outfits and I
 dont think their legs made it to the leg part of the
 outfits but they had to wear them to get in their car
 seats for the ride home which was just a few blocks.

 Twins1018 reminds me that it appears none of us
 mentioned the SFPOM Premie Closet! I used mostly
 premie clothes from there, and then also donated a ton
 of "newborn" (post Premie, pre 8lb) clothes there as
 well when the kids outgrew them. Hope you've already
 been connected.
