    Postpartum check in

    Rachel, Alexis refused to take a bottle until she was eating solids. With Ashley, I kept giving her a bottle daily so now she loves them. Keep trying but infants do get their preferences.

    Who loves their double stroller?

    Mel, if Justin will sit, the sit and stroll is easily buckled, if he refuses to sit, it is a difficult task as I learned last week at the mall with Alexis.

    Who loves their double stroller?

    Melanie, We have the sit and stroll . We got it at babies rus. I believe it is $149 . It is smaller than the sit and stand. Alexis loves it. The main flaw of this stroller is that the seat for the toddler is not very comfortable. I have been using it to walk to the park, 1.6 miles each way and...

    Weaning to cow's milk - when?

    I would first try pumping some milk to aid in the adjustment then gradually add cow's milk. 13 days til the 1 year mark, shouldn't make a difference, your child is practically 1.

    any advice?

    Here the school cut off is Sept. 1 so Alexis will be 6 when she starts school as a result if I sent her to preschool this year, she would be in it for 3 years. I decided preschool this year would be more of a stress than a help and I don't feel she is lacking by waiting til she's 4 to go. As...

    Moms of Toddlers & Multiples (I promise no gushing about my kids this time!)

    Gisella, 2 workouts a week is great for you, at least you are out of the workout drought. What about working out at night again? My biggest workout challenge is motivating myself to workout while 1 kid is sleeping. My biggest challenge is working out with 2 children. I am still trying to drop...

    questions

    Morris, enjoy your trip. I bet if you coat Finn's bottom well before you leave, he should be fine til you get your luggage. In terms of sun block. I live on the cape so took Ashley numerous times to the beach. I bought a small pop up tent that compacted pretty small. I put her in a lightweight...
