Rio: Mine have HORRIBLE stranger anxiety. It is mainly because we did not go out of the house during cold/flu season due to their prematurity and RSV. Now I go out a lot. Mackenzie is better than Brooke but if I leave their sight, oh boy, melt down! However, I was a preschool teacher and worked in a...

Michele! Yay! Go girl! I hope it all works out for you!!!!!! :D Question for those with older babies on here, mine are trying to go to 2 naps a day....it is sad. But the question. Brooke struggles to stay asleep more than an hour! I thought most babies needed at least an hour and a half nap. Mackenz...

So I have to go and buy a new sippy cup. Mackenzie just drank hers then puked because it came out too fast... *sigh* I will try the Munchkin brand I suppose with the softer nipple. The colds, yeah they are still here! They cough so hard they puke and today it went all over me, I mean, all over me to...

cocosmomma: I did not BF but I use Dr. Browns bottles because of their reflux and they help with gas. With them being preemie I had 12 4 oz bottles now I have 13 8 oz bottles. But I formula feed. If you are going to BF as well I am sure you do not need as many bottles unless you are doing daycare of...

How much weight should babies gain at 8mo-12 mo? I know it slows down. They are like gaining a pound a month....does that sound about right? They used to gain 2 lbs a month. I mean they have cut down on some food and are eating more solids which I know have less calories but still...and how tall sho...

Michele: WOW! Lots of follies! I will pray you do not have hyperstimulation! That sounds like a lot of eggs in there wanting to come out and give you babies!!! :D BABY DUST!! Keep us updated! Ok so I took the girls to the doctor. Just bad colds at the moment. If their temp gets higher then come back...

Jennywit: I think my red blood was done after a few days then it went to brown. I too had a c-section of twins. I would say if it is not really heavy then you are fine! Clots are normal as well too. I even had (TMI!) some of my uterine lining fall out. At your check up you can ask the doctor but I a...

I am probably not the best person to answer this as there are many other mommies on here that have had twins that have gotten their bodies back. Me on the other hand, I have 60 lbs still to lose and my babies are 8 months old. I am just too tired at the end of the day to work out. So it is my own fa...

kbear: If she has CP they would have said something by now. I mean those babies can not even put weight on their muscles even at an early age. I am sure she is fine! We just over analyze things being new mommies. At times, mine will use one hand more than the other (I think they did when they first ...

Happy Easter to all! And Happy FIRST Easter to our little babies!!!

Michele: Mine gag sometimes on the sippy cup water/juice because the taste is probably just really weird! I am going to try the Munchkin brand.

Just need to vent really fast.... Ok so I was looking at our credit cards today (which we are trying to pay off and never use again...Financial Peace University stuff) and I was looking at our Citi Card and they made our interest rate go to 30%!!!! NO JOKE! I called and was FURIOUS! I mean how are y...

Michele: Those are the exact ones that I have! Same here, they are hard little things to suck out of for them. I had to laugh because my mom always had us in bed at 7PM until we were like out of elementary school!

Gecko: I also heard no eggs before 1, but ask your doctor. With the sippie cups, yes it is hard for them. The nipple is harder and the suck is way different. Mine hardly ever get a sip out because it is so different. They are learning though! They mostly chew on the bite thing. Have you found any ot...

Ok seriously, kids in walkers, talking real words?! SHEESH! Rio: When he gets hungry he will eat. I agree that if it is you trying to give him a bottle he will get mad and not want it since he knows the milk is RIGHT there. He can smell it on you. Also with BFed babies it sometimes takes them longer...

BIGRED: I agree that boy names are harder. I had to laugh at the names as well...my husband wanted to name our son (if we had one) after Crouch on Nebraska! :shock: We had girls though and did not get stuck with a football boy! But hopefully the next round we will get a boy out of it and I may let h...
