Hi Hillary!We LOVED PIP for our daughter! The staff
were very attentive and nice. The program is a great
precursor to Pre-K and the kids do well with the
structure. When my daugter was there it started with a
tactile activity at a table, open play, music, then
active play w/ PT while the parents met w/ a social
worker for support group. It's a small group of about
8-10 kids w/ 1:2 ratio almost. I also appreciated the
specific rules/ policy about leaving your kid home when
they're sick & then defines what "sick" means
(discharge any other color than clear or white, fever,
etc). You can msg me if you have more questions.

My older daughter was a tongue thruster and my older
twin boy was a tongue thruster. With my daughter we
used a Haberman bottle/nipple (made by Medela) in
conjunction with a specific way to hold her chin plus
oral therapy w/ a Nuk brush. I highly recommend
Marjorie Palmer, Speech Therapist & Feeding Specialist.
For my son we're seeing a speech therapist through
Kaiser& used a regular Dr. Brown bottle. His issues
were more apparent when we started first foods. He is
high functioning and only knew to ask fo an eval
because we saw similarities to our daughter showing he
has low tone in his mouth (dribbling when drinking from
a bottle, continued tongue thrusting after a few months
in to starting 1st foods, biting down on the spoon
during feeds, & it would be hard to put the spoon in
his mouth due to his tongue pushing & mouth closing to
early). It was very slight. Have you had an oral eval
w/ a Speech Pathologist/Therapist? This is a good place
to start if you haven't yet. There are several possible
scenarios that could be happening (even slightly) and
an eval is good to have. Hope this helps. You can msg
me if you have any questions about what we've done w/
our kids.

One other thing is she might just need a slow flow
nipple (turn the bottle over and you shouldn't see
leaking or very minimal leaking). She may be thrusting
from just that alone. I found Born Free bottles w/
stage 1 nipples to be very good. Also feed her with her
sitting up on your lap & not tilted back (using gravity
on your side). Worse nipples are Medela "slow flow".
Even Dr Brown's stage 1 leaks. She could also have
reflux w/o spitting up. The remedy is still the same as
above w/ feeding upright, etc. Good luck!!

fresh air and walks seem to work well for us. We are
hoping they outgrow that period soon. We just hit the 2
month mark and the 7-11pm time frame seem to be their
frame.

At 5 months (but they were 7 weeks premature) our two
gals are waaaayyyyy better than they were a month or
two ago. Our Peanut (a.k.a. The Exorcist) actually made
it through the evening with just a little light
grousing--and the evening hours used to be so tough for
her. (She now "talks" all the time, which has
diminished her crying considerably.)

Ah, setting up ahead of time...genius! I tried it this
morning and put the babies in boppys next to me. I did
have to do one diaper change while pumping, but hey,
now I know it can be done :)

Also, their ability to self-entertain grows A LOT
between now and 12 weeks. Also, don't be scared to
leave that diaper for ten min!

we started a drop of mylicon (active ingredient, CVS
brand) in our baby girl's formula every now and then to
reduce gassiness and it seems to help. We tried gripe
water for constipation and it seemed to help. Also,
burping on shoulder, with their tummy on your shoulder
helps relieve gas since it puts pressure on tummy. They
both find that position comfortable. Also, when
changing their diaper, keep their legs up before
putting the new diaper on to see if you can relieve gas
or maybe get them to go. Also the cycling motion helps
with them as well. cycle both legs while on their back.
