1. Introducing new formula
--------------------------------------------------------
robynroberts1128 - 2/1/2013 2:50 pm
One of my twins is super gassy, colicky, etc and our
pediatrician has suggested trying Nutramigen - the only
problem is that she will not take it. I am still
breastfeeding and supplementing w/ formula so any
suggestions on how to get her to eat the new formula?
She's 4 mos. Thanks in advance for the help.

Slowly mix the formula with your breast milk,
increasing the amount of formula each bottle until
she's used to the flavor. Good luck!

Thanks!

HiNutramegen is unapplealing. That might be why she
won't take it. I think around 5 months we switched to
Gerbers gentle formula. My girls drank both, but liked
the Gerbers better I think. We changed primarily
because the Nutramegen was so expensive. Good luck.

5. Mothers Helper needed
--------------------------------------------------------
gabriellesparkly - 2/1/2013 2:48 pm
Hi,We're looking for a mothers helper or part time
nanny to join us from end of May to help out with my 4
year old twins after their pre-school term has ended
and then once they are at summer camp, to help out with
our third child who is due around July 20th and help
out with our newborn until the end of October, possibly
longer. The twins will be back at pre-school at the end
of August. Does anyone know of anyone looking for
part-time work like this? Thanks for any leads.

6. SAHM w/infant twins
--------------------------------------------------------
leslieb_sf - 2/1/2013 8:48 am
If I can't find a nanny for my twins soon I will become
a SAHM. I'm wondering what other SAHMs with infant
twins do with them all day long. I know it kind of
sounds like a dumb question, but I never thought I'd be
in this position. They are 4.5 months old now, and I'm
imagining they will start to be able to play with toys,
etc. soon enough. Any advice/support will be welcome.
:)

My twins are the same age as yours and I'm a SAHM (for
the year, anyway). I'm actually interested in other
people's answers because I'm always searching for stuff
to do :) In the morning we do breakfast and household
chores (they hangout in the front pack and/or play area
while I talk to them about what I'm doing), there may
or may not be some singing and dancing to 90s pop :),
then nap. When they wake up we go for a walk, and nap
on the walk. After we come home and eat, we have
playtime, either outside on a blanket if it's nice or
naked time inside (amazing how much they love tummy
time when naked!! Just put down a pee pad!). After
another nap, dad is home, so we put them in the front
packs and make dinner, play a little, read books, etc.
Then bed.I try to involve them in stuff I'm doing, like
if I'm cooking, I put a little of the spices on my
finger for them to smell, or making the bed, fluff the
sheets around them. They have 3 play areas we rotate
around so it's not too repetitive (relatively). One has
overhead stuff to grab, another a mirror and mobile,
another a basket of musical instruments and books, etc.
It's really nice to get out with friends, go to
museums, or go to the library for baby rhyme time.
There are also classes like music and dance at Day One.
I can't wait til they're old enough to enjoy a
playground!Oh and take 1,000,000 pictures :)It's not
the most, hmm, mentally stimulating thing I've ever
done, but it's pretty cool to be present for all those
moments that happen spontaneously. I think the real
challenge is making sure to connect with other folks or
you can get a little stir crazy.Looking forward to
seeing what others do...and if you are a SAHM, let me
know if you'd like to meet up for a walk :)

My twins just turned 4 mos. Yeah. not the most mentally
stimulating but the most physically & mentally
exhausting!!We usually wake up, play on the playmat,
nap, feed, more playmat/walk/sitting in bumbos, nap
again, feed again, listen to "Sesame Street" on pandora
and dance. I live in a 1-bedroom so hard to mix it up
too much but I'll also put them on the bed and play
there to give them another room to hang out in. Would
also love to meet up for a walk. I am going to start
going to classes at Day One as well.

A later nap worked yesterday (yay!) so hopefully this
is our ticket. I also think I can't get around them
going to bed at 6pm, they're just spent from the day.
But maybe sleep training will shift things a
little...they are already 3 hours into an afternoon
nap, so I guess anything could happen! Thanks again
everyone.

I'm having a similar issue with my 4 month olds. They
seem so tired by 5:00 but if I nap them, then they'll
go for several hours and then I'm not sure how to
handle bedtime. With the late nap do you just let them
sleep as long as they go or do you wake them after a
certain amount of time. This napping/sleeping at night
thing is proving difficult to say the least!

Thanks for the update! Glad it worked out! Erin0919,
I would let them CIO on the 2-4am feed and keep the
10pm Dream Feed until you feel they can go without it.
