Hi multiples mamas and papas, I have a good friend who
just delivered twins at 38 weeks and I'm having trouble
recalling at what point we were able to "prop" them
with bottles. I'm hoping some of you who have done
this more recent than me can help. At some point
fairly early on, I would nurse both babies and then
prop them with their bottles while I pumped.
Currently, my friend is nursing her babes, then
bottling them (one/parent) and then waiting until all
that is done to pump. I am worried she is not getting
enough of a break b/c soon after she pumps it's time to
nurse again. I also know at some point fairly early on
my partner helped by bottling both at once while I
pumped. I am sure her partner (or whoever is around)
can also help with this but I'm just not sure if there
was a magic "age" we felt comfortable doing this or if
we just started from the very beginning. They are so
tiny now (easy to forget and mine are only almost 2
years now) so I just want to give her advise that is
safe. Her doc also recommended to nurse, then wait to
pump in between nursing sessions to increase her supply
(vs pumping right after nursing - which is what I was
told to do to increase my supply). Any thoughts on
timing of pumping for supply reasons? Thanks for any
tips you can offer from your recollection/experience!

2. Items For Sale

We're redoing my 15-year old twin daughters' rooms, and
have bedroom furniture and other items which we will
no longer be using, including a pine armoire, pine
twin bed, brass twin daybed. Some free items also.
All items posted at classifieds, more are coming, so
do check back. I would love to clear out my garage,
and SFPOM is our favorite way to list -- we'd love to
see some items go to other multiple families. Carla,
Caroline & Alix Hashagen

3. Transitioning to cows' milk and sippy cups - advice?
--------------------------------------------------------

Help! Bonus points for recommendations that involve
dishwasher safe, stackable sippy cups that won't take
up my entire bag on planes, outings, etc. Thank you!

Another way to evaluated if a sf public school is right
for you and your twins is by attending its annual
fundraising event. The dog fest, lots of fun, is open
to everyone. I know one family with their twins in
kindergarten at this school.
