<p>Hello amazing SFPOMers!<p />My friend could use a little support. Her b/g twins are now term, were born a little under 36 weeks. She also has a 4 year old girl. <p />Anyone who is able to drop by a meal or just contact her for some "been in your shoes" support -- I know she would really appreciate it. I'm thinking she doesn't have time at the moment to get on the forum as much as she'd like.<p />Here's her Care Calendar log in:<br /><a href="http://www.CareCalendar.org/logon/85938" target="_external">http://www.CareCalendar.org/logon/85938</a><br />(Calendar ID : 85938, Security Code : 7663 )<p />Thank you so much! I wish I was there to be of more support to her!<p />

<p>We *love* our practice, Childs Light, and our doctor, Dr. Martel. They are one of the practices that comes to you; they have no home office, so all visits are house calls. They bring everything with them -- scales, shots, whatever -- and they're available (by they I mean the doctors) 24/7 via email and cell phone. They're also wonderful doctors and wonderful human beings.<p />

<p>1) Bassinets are only available for international flights. We flew to Hawaii recently and the bassinets are not an option on the plane. We just bought our tickets to Asia a few days ago and I called the airlines to reserve bassinets for the twins. <br />2) Both my husband and I wore the Moby wrap whilst sitting during our flights to and from Hawaii. The twins were 14 weeks then. It was great bringing a carrier on the plane with you to soothe them by walking them in it up and down the aisle. Also, helpful for when you are having a snack/meal at your seat. We also brought one boppy pillow with us on the flight. It helped with feeding and they can actually sleep on it on your lap. <br />3) We gate checked our BabyJogger City Select and two Graco car seats. We flew on United and I called to check if there was a weight limit for strollers at gate check. United's weight limit is 60 lbs. I heard that AA's limit is 28 lbs but you should call to verify. <br />4) I haven't travel alone with the twins yet but generally, everyone was super helpful - airport employees while going through security, flight attendants and your fellow passengers. There is a family check-in line in SFO, it's easy to go through there with milk storage and etc. If you are traveling with another adult and two infants on lap, remember you can't sit together no matter what they tell you on the phone or when you are at the check-in counter. The flight attendants will move one of the adults. You can sit in the front, back and side-by-side on the aisle seats since each set of seats only have one extra oxygen mask and hence, can only accommodate one baby/child. Obviously, you have nothing to worry about if you are buying a ticket for an extra seat. <p />Good luck with your travels!<p />

<p>I was going to chime in and say that each airline has its own rules about gate checking strollers. I too have heard that AA set a new limit of 20 lbs (or maybe it's 28 as indicated above, but you get the idea) that rules out any major double stroller. You can only check the umbrella kind on that airlines. I don't believe others have followed suit but you should check. <p />As for traveling alone with infants, I have heard that it is not allowed. So if you're considering it, you should check that with the airline. Thinking through our experience, I don't see how you could do it alone to be honest. You could never get up to use the bathroom. You could never get up to change just one baby. You would have a very difficult time getting on the plane -- how would you hold two babies while simultaneously folding down a double stroller at the gate? We have found mixed things WRT to others helping us. On some flights passengers and crew were extremely sweet and helpful and generous. On others, no one offered to lift a finger for two clearly struggling parents and the crew told us they were not allowed to hold babies. So you never know.<p />
