Hi. I mostly lurk, but I have a question about bedtime routines. Right now I read my 20month old b/g twins books together on my lap and then sing them a song before putting them to bed. Do any of you read/sing separately, or do you do it together? I'm feeling a little bad that my 3 1/2 year old...

Hi, I'm new here. I was looking for support for preemies, but since I couldn't find any from my newsgroup provider, I looked for multiples instead. I'm sure there are more than a few of you with multiples who had them prematurely, am I right? wink I am a new mom of three babies... they were...

Hi Everyone- My poor old minivan is worn out and I'm trying to decide what kind of vehicle to buy. I want to get an SUV that will seat at least 6. My van just doesn't do well on these country roads around here, that's why I'm looking to replace it with an SUV. I'm looking at the Honda Pilot and...

Caroline and Alexandre (7 months) don't use words yet.I know Alexandre can say "mummy" and "daddy" because when he's scared of something, like when he sees new people, he calls us (mostly me, lol), but he doesn't use words...Caroline hasn't really said anything yet. She babbles a lot though. I...

Hi, I have a new friend with 2 year old twins. They were born at 30 weeks gestation and they are currently 26 months old. I was wondering if anyone here had a similar situation and at what age your twins reached certain milestones. She was sharing her frustration about how other people say dumb...

Hello everybody Does anybody have experience of the EZ-2-Nurse pillows. It seems that the inflatable one is available in the UK but not the foam one. I wondered how they compared. Thank you Ellie

Hi everyone, I am new to the newsgroup scene...I think this is a great place for me to start since we have 4 yr old twin boys, Joshua & Caleb. I am also a working mom--I teach elementary school (yes, I'm on break right now...ahhhhhh). Looking forward to good sharing and discussions...

Just tell her the truth...w/o all the scientific facts behind it.....I doubt she'll understand nor would you want to start explaining what a chromosome is! LOL......and if in doubt, ASK....ask the child's mother how she would like things explained -- Gwen, Designer Wraps SAHM to James (9-98)...

Welcome, or better yet, welcome back! ~ Can I ask you why they were on a sucrose drip? And were they both on it? Was it because their blood sugar level was low? Just curious. ~Kimberly Mommy to Alexis Iliana 07/17/99 and Emma Elidia & Aislyn Gabriela 10/01/02 come see us...

I was wondering how long it might take to get my kids used to waking up early to go to preschool. They start in just over a month, and it'll be 4 days a week. Their class will be 8:00 or 8:30 (I better find out) until noon. Right now they wake up anywhere from 8:00am until 10:00am. With it staying...

Hi everybody, Thanks for the replies. I'm not really concerned about the schedule yet, I think hubby would like it because he keeps trying to get to bed by 10 and the boys keep keeping us up until 11:30 or 12. More important is the learning-to-go-to-sleep-on-their-own thing. Take last night for...
