my twins are 3 weeks old and my husband is going back
to work next week. We originally had no plans to hire
any help but now I feel it might be necessary. I wanted
opinions on night nurse vs day time mothers helper. We
will only be able to afford about 2 days per week. Also
if anyone has any recommendations on where to find
either.Thanks

I was in your exact same situation last month! For me,
the sleep deprivation was killing me so I wanted
nighttime help. I felt that I could handle days on my
own as long as I had a good night's sleep. Try Bay Area
Night Doulas - they helped me find someone to help on
short notice, 2-3 nights a week. It's expensive but SO
worth it.

I saw this on FB today. So many of our little ones
spent time in the Nicu. My kids did not, but through
this group I have met many, many parents and children
that spent their first days, weeks, months in the NICU
and I have been amazed by the stories of wonderful
nurses, insightful teams and just generally wonderful
people working to keep our kids strong and healthy.
So, for those of you who spent time in the NICU, I
thought you would appreciate this beautiful open letter
written by another NICU mom:

Hi - I have 11 month old twins. we are in desperate
need for a sleep trainer. our kids go to sleep all
hours of the night and wake up for milk still. But are
well over the weight to need milk. Id like in house
help with sleep training. problem is i want to use the
no cry sleep solution which i know takes longer. i
just cant bear them crying. if you can recommend
anyone i'm looking to hire someone to start Oct 1 and
stay as long as needed. Thank you Laura 908-565-0843

First and foremost - congratulations!I am not familiar
with the Brewer's diet but I followed (roughly) the
advice in Barbara Luke's book (recommended by a mom on
this forum) and had a very comfortable MoDi pregnancy.
I did not meet the caloric guidelines most days, but
did follow the previous poster's advice of "no protein,
don't eat it" and did gain most of my weight early on
as she suggests.Our boys were born at 36.5 weeks since
one had a significant in utero brain hemorrhage and we
concluded delivery was the best option. I had *no*
signs of pre-eclampsia, diabetes, etc. and think I
would have otherwise carried to term. Boys were 4lbs
10oz and 4lbz 12oz but STRONG! Both came home with me
two days later (!).I *hated* the diet at the time
(choked down at least one protein shake a day) and my
Dr. thought I was a bit nuts. I resorted to calling Dr
Luke the "crazy twins lady." That said, I credit the
diet (largely) with such strong and healthy boys - and
my Dr. now recommends it. It seems to still be paying
dividends as the kids (now 17 months) have been
extremely healthy (knock on wood) thus far.Good luck!

Happy to be a mentor - what a great idea. I have 17
month old identical boys (Mo Di pregnancy). We live in
Noe Valley - both parents work full-time (and commute!)
so evenings/weekends work best (or morning between 7-
9am for those already on a kid-oriented schedule ;) ).

I'd love to be a mentee! I'm 16wks pregnant with
triplets. (Mono-di Identical twins and one fraternal) I
live in Inner Parkside, close to West Portal but am
very flexible during the days and don't mind traveling
across town to be mentored. I realize there aren't too
many triplet mamas out there. I'm sure I can still
learn a lot from a twin
mama!JennieJgamut@hotmail.com415-317-2415
