Two weeks ago I switched my 21-month-old girls from cribs to toddler beds. Every night since then has been a battle. It takes almost two hours to get them to bed. They run around the room, pull all the clothes out of their drawers and scream in the doorway (we have a gate at the door). I...

Hi! I'm a long time lurker and can't remember this question being discussed. My girls celebrated their fifth birthday at the end of January. Up until this age it has been easy to have one party, two cakes etc. This year however I started to think about how when I was growing up for my birthday I...

I saw this on another group (No affiliation, don't know any more than I've read): ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE FOLLOWING, PLEASE CALL RAMONA AT 305-652-1811. "The Jury" is a Levinson/Fontana production to air on the Fox network most likely in June. It is an episodic one hour drama. Regulars...

Dear members, I just wanted to gush a bit and say that since I became a member of this group three years ago, I have found it absolutely wonderful and very supportive. I know that I don't get a chance to post very often, but I read everyones posts regularly, and the information is more...

I'm wondering if I could have some thoughts and words of wisdom on starting preemies on solid foods. My girls are 4 1/2 months and were born 8 weeks early. Lately they've had voracious appetites, sometimes taking 7 oz of formula, then another 6 two hours later. My doctor plans to "discuss...

Hello everybody I feel sure I've asked this before but the twins are almost 5 months old and my brain has turned to mush and can't remember what anyone said ..... so ..... has anyone used the Maximom baby carrier for carrying their multiples and if so what did they think to it. Or is there...

Just curious about something I come across in my twin reading every now and again... I understand the scientific difference between identical and fraternial twins, but a few times I have seen a statement like "Boy/Girl twins are usually fraternal" or "boy/girl twins are (almost) always...

I would like to thank whoever it was that recommend "This First Years" cups as first sippy cups. I think my girls have finally got it! Also, they are the easiest spill proof cups to wash because they don't have those extra plastic pieces inside the cap. Very inexpensive...

Hi Everyone- Next month Jordan and Madison will be getting three shots at their four year-old check up. I am trying to decide if I should make separate appointments for them or take them in at the same time. I can see pros and cons for doing both. They haven't had a shot since they were two so...

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone has any tips for how to entertain 4 month old babies. My girls spend time on their bouncy seats, hitting toys and we do some tummy time every day. They are just starting to get into books, but that doesn't keep their attention very long. My big problem is when...

Yesterday, my daughter called at 6 a.m. to say that the boys had gotten hold of their Dimetap bottle and shared it. Called Poison Control, they said since there was no way of knowing who drank how much -- worst case scenario would be followed, that one of the boys drank it all. They were 'just...

We have the Alpha Omega car seats that can be used as booster seats and I had planned to use them until the girls were 80 pounds (which will probably be college-age for Jordan) :) However, I recently saw some booster seats on sale that can be used from 30-80 pounds. It is a backless booster...

My girls have been hitting & pushing each other and pulling hair more than usual lately. While I know this is normal behavior for this age, I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to deal with it? I send them to time-out, but it doesn't seem to do any good. I also can't seem to get across...
