HELP! My three year old is a terror at nap and bedtime. He used to be such a sweet child and now, holy cow. He's destroying his room. The only thing he has in there are windows, a bed, a bookcase, a dresser and two fans, as it is very hot here in the Pacific NW. In regards to the window: He has...

Hi there, We have twins who are 3 months old (1.5 months corrected) that my wife is currently breastfeeding. Occasionally I bottlefeed one of them to give her a break but our problem is with the other one (Hannah) who has problems with the bottle. Hannah will start to take the bottle fine but...

A friend of mine recommended I look at the Kirby's on Ebay. I am curious... those of you that discourage a kirby purchase is that because it isn't worth the money? If I were able to get a fairly new used one for say 300.00 would you think it's cleaning capabilities would be worth it aside from...

My girls used to need at least 13 hours of sleep per night, but recently they have started waking up after about 9 or 10 hours of sleep on most days. They used to sleep in late (8:30-10:00 am), but now Madison is usually up before 7:00 and Jordan wakes up shortly after that. It doesn't seem to...

This is the first year that I have had the option of putting my girls in a different class, since their preschool has three 3 year-old classes. The director called me to ask if I want them in the same class and I told her I do. At the end of last school year I asked Jordan & Madison's teachers how...

Help! I'm registering for my shower and I have no idea what I will need for twins, let alone for one baby (this is my first pregnancy). Does anyone have the list of their registry that they could send me, or a list of "must haves"--even if it's just 2 items it would give me an idea of what...

Hey oldies and newbies! I am glad to see this NG still going strong. :) I hope to be here more often, and just wanted to reintroduce myself before jumping in with my question. Hmm, what info do we usually give in here . . . I have three-year-old fraternal twin boys, who were delivered by...

What's the best non-Milicon cure for baby gas?

Hi all, My wife and I moved to England 2 1/2 years ago and thought ... wouldn't it be nice to have A kid while we're here?. We ended up having twin girls 10 weeks too early. This was a really traumatic time for us. And, it was compounded by the fact that we were thousands of miles away from our...

I just had a thought today and found myself stumped. I guess I thought I'd ask for opinions and input before this ever comes up for us. When your twins/multiples get invited to a birthday party, do you send two gifts or one? My initial reaction was to send one nice gift. But, then when I...

Does anyone else have alot of sibling rivalry between their twins? I realize some of you may be asking me if I'm serious asking this question but I am. I am a single parent who is in a relationship with someone. He shared with me tonight how much the sibling rivalry bothers him. I have b/g...

I was just curious how long you have all been posting. Since I am planing the girls 2nd birthday I have been getting sentimental. So I did a search to find all of the posts from when I first started posting. It has been years! I know those of you with older twins have been here much longer. I...

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...

Recently, my 22 month old twin boys have started taking off their diapers while in their cribs (either before or after a nap - it doesn't matter) and then peeing all over the crib. They had done this once in a while before and it just stopped, but since Saturday (12/27) they have done it about 7...

while we are also at it! (and since we will *not* be seeing Cat in the Hat this weekend!).

my girls were born in april 2000 with the first dose of clomid. we had tried like 3 years to get pregnant and the clomid worked like a charm. about 6 months ago, i decided that i wouldnt exactly mind having one more child, that our kids are relatively normal and behaved and i stopped taking the...

I just wanted to share. I took Jake to the dentist yesterday to get a filling. He had a hole in his tooth from the way it was formed, no cavity yet, but they wanted to fill it. So anyway, this is his second filling. He did awesome!! He jumped right up on the chair and didn't cry one bit and...

Since you all gave me such great Christmas present ideas for my girls, I am once again calling on your help to give me some ideas for my niece's 12 year-old sister. I don't know her well enough to know what kinds of things she likes (she's only been a part of dh's family for a few months). She...

How do you organize the school papers and timetables so you don't lose stuff, and so you know what goes back to whom and when and what day each kid needs to do what? Last (four) years the three were all in one class and it was no hassle -- snack, PE, blah blah all on same schedule, I just used...
