			<link>http://multidad.yuku.com/topic/549/t/Flat-Head-Syndrome.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ My boys had thier 2 month exam last week and the Dr. said that they have a slight flat head. He recommended getting sleep positioners which we did,but he said
that if they didn&#39;t help then the boys would have to wear a helmet or even go to a cranial specialist. I really don&#39;t want my boys wearing a helmet
(unless it is a batting helmet or a football helmet!!) and the prospect of having to take them to a specialist is terrifying to the both of us. Does anyone
have any tips or tricks to... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Greetings!
<br>
Our 9-month old twin girls are doing really well except for one problem.  One of the girls is an awesome sleeper--goes down by 7:00pm and sleeps silently
through the night &#39;til 6:30am--the other one, on the other hand, hates going to sleep and we&#39;re constantly afraid that she will wake her sister when
placed in the adjoining crib.  She also wakes up crying at least once every night, sometimes waking up her sister in the process.

<br>
I&#39;m sure others have... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m hoping that some of you old-timers can help me out.  At what age do twins (girls) really start to play by themselves in a way that lasts over 5
minutes, and doesn&#39;t result in temper tantrums and crying?  They are almost 24 months now.  One of my twins is VERY emotionally attached to me, and gets
pretty upset whenever I leave the room.  She is also quite dominant in her relationship with her sister, and she always ends making her cry in some way after
just a few minutes of alone... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Greetings!  I haven&#39;t posted since our twin girls were born in late March.  They are doing really well and we have survived the first 4 &amp; 1/2 months
with few major problems.  But just when we had established a bedtime routine for the girls, and when they had begun to successfully sleep through the night,
one of them has started teething.  Not only does she have trouble going to sleep initially, she is also waking up often during the night and unable to go back
to sleep when this... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My twin boys were born on May 7th and are doing great!! They were born at 33 weeks and stayed in the NICU for 2 weeks before coming home. If anyone is due soon
and scared that their babies may have to stay in the hospital before coming home....no need to worry. As hard as it was that they couldn&#39;t be with us after
my wife was discharged there were about 100 Pro&#39;s that out weighed the Con&#39;s. We learned so much for the nurses and by the time we got home everything
was second nature.... ]]></description>

I took one of my little one's to the doctor the other day, and the doctor said surpised: &quot;Where's your wife?&quot; Yes, yes, I guess I'm playing &quot;mom&quot; (I shrink in my thoughts again). So, at any rate, if there are some dad stay at homers, for whatever reason, it would be good to here from you--safety in numbers.

My problem is this. Our son (who is 2 years 8 months) seems determined to kill his sisters with love. He gets very excited when he sees them and is very rough when near them.

			<description><![CDATA[ This is my first posting onto this great site. My wife and I are expecting fraternal twins in late March, but recently, during a routine exam, the birth center staff found that my wife was having contractions at 31 weeks. Her OBGYN immediately told her to quit work and have complete bed rest.<br><br>I realize that this is not uncommon for twin pregnancies, but I was wondering if anyone has any tips for getting through this period. I feel very guilty when I leave for work in the morning... ]]></description>

From our place all the way down to the tip of the island, it's almost entirely isolated from the street. <br><br>One of the basic ideas is that the boys will go to preschool in a bicycle trailer, and then I'll continue on to work.

			<description><![CDATA[ One of the hardest things for me about twins is that I don't get enough extended one on one time with the boys. In fairness I wasn't even coherent enough to recognize this gap until they were 9 months old. Until then we were just surviving. My wife and I started doing separate baths, taking one kid to the store (people treat parents of singletons like dirt compared to the fawning over twins) while the other stayed home. The kids really respond to the focus. They seem calmer and the experience... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Someone had given us the tip to pick colors for our identical boys. We picked Blue for one and primarily red for the other. This is handy on a day to day basis to avoid feeding the same one twice, recall who took a nap, whose diaper you just changed. All good things but there is real value for the boys too. Without the color guide it would have been tell nearly impossible to tell who was who in pictures. It is no fun having the boys ask &quot;is that me or Jack&quot; and me having to... ]]></description>
