 Our boys are 5 1/2 weeks old and in a growth spurt (so
 we think as they are feeding every 2 hours for nearly
 -on/off- 50 minutes). We are exclusively breast
 feeding and are now desperate for some expert insight
 and advice. Does anyone have a lactation consultant
 recommendation, or have been in this situation before?
 Any tips, or light at the end of this would be
 appreciated!!Thank you,Robin

 Unfortunately, I have to tell you that what you are
 experiencing is totally and completely normal! There
 were times when I was breastfeeding 4 hours out of 6,
 as mine were also long-on-the-breast feeders. You can
 expect this to ease up some in about a week or so. In
 the meantime, make the most of your breaks: use the
 toilet, do some stretching, and grab your food, water,
 and entertainment for the next round!

 I hoped my first post as Club President would be more
 festive. I am very sorry to report heartbreaking news
 that one of our recent members lost her 5-day-old son.I
 have contacted her and inquired if the Club can do
 anything to help. If you would like to be part of
 donation, food delivery, or if you have your own
 suggestion how we can help, please contact me at
 president at sfpom.org. Our thoughts go out to her and her
 family in this difficult time.Sincerely,Petr Olmer

 Congrats on your twins! I have identical boys who are
 almost 2.5 years old. For the first week or so we left
 their hospital tags (with names on), and then for the
 first year or so one of my sons had a little hair tie
 around his ankle. It stayed on all the time, baths,
 etc. it was something you could feel through socks and
 swaddles. Our best trick though was that one of them
 always wears something blue and the other one doesn't.
 We actually still stick to that now even though we can
 tell them apart easily. It makes it easy for everyone
 else to know who is who and so they will get called by
 their names. It's also been great for pictures, the
 tricks you have for telling them apart at 6 months may
 be different than the way you know at a year. Let me
 know if you have any other questions - good luck!!

 Just a quick follow up on this... we were able to take
 advantage of her offer, and are thrilled with the
 results. Our girls were super comfortable with her,
 and she got lovely candid, natural, relaxed shots. I
 would totally recommend her work!(Unfortunately the
 complimentary shoot is no longer available - but if
 you're ever looking for a great local photographer...)
