- 9 week old b/g twins
- They had their two month check up last week. Both are almost 10 pounds and officially on the growth chart. They've discovered their hands and love kicking, so we broke out the FP kick and play piano. It's a hit!
- No questions atm...
- The worst is when I decide to try to sleep when they sleep and literally as soon as my head hits the pillow, someone starts crying. The worst is also when I have a nice, sleepy baby in a clean diaper and PJs, and hear a giant poo come out.

Age/sex of your baby/babies? 11 weeks, boy
- How's it going - any upcoming doctor's appointments or milestones you'd like to discuss?
No apps until 8/30 for his 4m check up unless we're back at uncontrollable screaming. DS1 has his 30m checkup on the 24th though! I feel like I'm constantly at our pedi between the two of them
- Do you have any questions or concerns that you'd like advice on? Feeding, sleeping, anything?
We moved DS2 to hypoallergenic formula. Holy hell, that shit is expensive! It's been an absolute miracle worker, though, so it's worth every freaking penny. I have a happy baby now
- QOTW: The worst is when... you're trapped under a sleeping baby and need to poop

Girl, will be 8 weeks on Wednesday

Baby girl is back to birth weight as of today's weight check. She has her two month appointment next Wednesday. I'm hoping there will be no more weight checks after that. I have spent every week since her birth at the pediatricians office.
Baby girl has been using her voice a lot the past couple days and it is the sweetest little voice.

9 weeks - Boy

2 month appt was on Friday and went well. Nothing until the 4 month checkup in September, which will be my first week back at work 😢😢
- Do you have any questions or concerns that you'd like advice on? Feeding, sleeping, anything?
Nope
- QOTW: The worst is when... You do the MOTN diaper change quickly and quietly, reswaddle, pick up baby, and... spit up everywhere. This requires a new set of PJs for both of you and a new swaddle. I think we have 2 backups of each in our bedroom 😂

*snip* - The worst is when I decide to try to sleep when they sleep and literally as soon as my head hits the pillow, someone starts crying. Yes to this... I have trouble napping when I'm by myself anyway, but I feel like I'm jinxing his nap if I try to nap at the same time because, obviously, he's going to wake up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

gimmesugar, our 4 month appointment is the week before I go back to work. My husband will be home with them for two months, but it'll still be tough.

cmb Between DS2's appointments and DS1's two year well check I feel like I've been living at the pedi's too. - Age/sex of your baby/babies? 7 week old boy - How's it going - any upcoming doctor's appointments or milestones you'd like to discuss? Nothing this week, I think we have one next week though. He's started giving out more smiles, mostly just to me though. - Do you have any questions or concerns that you'd like advice on? Feeding, sleeping, anything? Things are going well for the most part but I wish I could get DS2 down before 10pm. I can't remember when I was able to get DS1 down at a decent time. - QOTW: The worst is when...both boys decide they are hungry RIGHT THIS SECOND and collectively lose their shit.

- Age/sex of your baby/babies?
10 week old boy
- How's it going - any upcoming doctor's appointments or milestones you'd like to discuss?
No appts until his 4m in early Sept. He has started to use his voice more and can spend a long time on his playmat just smiling and "talking" to the toys hanging from it. I also got him a tummy time may that has a mirror and he now likes tummy time. Looking at himself is always a hit.
- Do you have any questions or concerns that you'd like advice on? Feeding, sleeping, anything?
I'm trying to decide when to start tapering off the gas drops. He currently gets a dose in every bottle but I'm not sure if he still needs them. But I hate the idea of not giving them and then having him be in pain because I don't think they work great once he's screaming and kicking from gas. I know we stopped giving them to DD at some point but I just can't remember when.
- QOTW: The worst is when... you break down and buy a dry clean only shirt (which I rarely do) because you really like it, you put the shirt on for the first time and 5 minutes later your baby erupts and you get spit up down the shoulder and back of the shirt.

sleepymonkey We gave DS1 gas drops in every bottle until he turned 1, and we ditched the bottles and formula. Maybe that needs to be saved for Friday

Age/sex of your baby/babies? 7 weeks yesterday, girl
- How's it going - any upcoming doctor's appointments or milestones you'd like to discuss?
Lots more smiles this week and loves to "talk." I forgot how cute they are when they "coo" in response and get the arms and legs going! Shes also been unlatching some to smile and coo when nursing. Trying to bat at toys under the play mat and good head control. Fussy time has been less this week *knocks on wood* 2m appt is 7/25.
- Do you have any questions or concerns that you'd like advice on? Feeding, sleeping, anything?
Day time sleep is still crappy Day naps unless held or car seat. It's been over 1 week now, but she did put herself to sleep twice in the bouncy yesterday instead of nursing to sleep. And night sleep is still good.
- QOTW: The worst is when...the preschooler who has been potty trained for almost 1 year with very few accidents since poops her pants and wets her bed within the same week =/. And is then up from 3-6 after wetting her bed

He is 2 months tomorrow
He has an appt this Friday, sad for shots, but excited to see how much he has grown. He is smiling, cooing, being adorable.
Nope
When your other kids accidentally wake up the baby when you just get him down for a nap. He usually can sleep through anything but sometimes the most random noise will wake him

-7 weeks girl
-it's going good. She's starting to kick and coo a lot. No dr appt for a couple more weeks.
-everything is going pretty smoothly. I think she might have a slight sensitivity to spicy food since she was more gassy after I had some spicy mayo the other day.
-the worst is when the minute you try to be productive the baby poops or decides she doesn't want to sleep anymore.

- Age/sex of your baby/babies? 7 weeks Thursday, boy
- How's it going - any upcoming doctor's appointments or milestones you'd like to discuss? We have a hip ultrasound today. Both the pediatrician and the osteopath think his hips are fine but they like to check and make sure for all breech babies. ETA: He weighed in at 10 lbs yesterday!
- Do you have any questions or concerns that you'd like advice on? Feeding, sleeping, anything? Feeding is still a work in progress. Almost 7 weeks in and my nipples are still sore, although I think they are getting somewhat better. We still haven't been able to wean off the formula, although he is taking less.
- QOTW: The worst is when... +1 to having to poop while stuck under baby. Also poop explosions while out in public.
