oh, wow, you have your hands full cheryl!! I have my hands full too, i have 3 month old twin girls, a 2 year old girl, and a 9 year old boy. Are your twins identical? I do not know yet if mine are identical or not, i mean every day that goes by they look more and more alike, but i have no idea. Do you dress your twins alike? sometimes i do and sometimes i dont.

Wow you have a bunch, I thought that I had a lot..."whew"
My twins are fraternal (not identical)and yes I dress them alike as much as I can...But I typically try to get pink and purple of the same outfit.

RED FLAKY SKIN...Per "WebMD"
While some babies (mainly full-term babies) are born with smooth, wrinkle-free skin, other babies (typically premature and small babies) have loose, wrinkly skin. BABY TALK Prior to birth, the mother's body regulates the baby's temperature.

hi melissa i don't have twins but i come from a family of twins we have 6 sets of boy girl twins in 3 gen. but anyway iwould not want to be in either one of your shoes my 2 drive me crazy alot but my daughter they say was a term baby but she had that red flaky skin and i took her to a dermatoligist [i think thats how you spell it] and he told me to get aveeno baby lotion and it worked for her for a while but then i found out she has atopic dermatitis which is skin problem that runs in the family but i would think that aveeno will probably work for you the last time i bought it it was like 4.50 at walmart i hope this helps you a little
ohh and put it on after baths thats what he told me to do i didn't ask why 

Name: Melissa | Date: Apr 3rd, 2006 4:25 PM
thanks for the suggestion Dee, i actually have the aveeno, and the natural babys excema, and plain vaseline, and neosporin, and im sure i have a few more creams. but nothing seems to work. im just at witts end. i actually had to call the doctor today and make an appointment, so we go this thursday. so hopefully they will get some relief soon. thanks so much.

well we went to the doctor, and we have an appt with a dermatologist on the 19th. i dont know if i or the twins can wait that long. they itch soooooo bad, i am just going to have to give them a bath every day i guess, and just dowse them with aveeno cream. :(

Mainly try to keep people from kissing them, this also irritate their skins my twins had it for a while and kept people out of their facing because it irritate their skin. Only until they are about 6 months.

hi all! I have 3mth old boy/girl twins,Clayton and Chloe' and boy is it hard!!They just wont sleep thru the night!As a matter of fact Im in the spare bedroom as I type and will sleep here all night with the baby monitor while leaving my husband to fend for himself!! I know its selfish but hey,I gotta work in the morning!I dont have any redness problems with there skin so no advice here but would like to know when I can start these kids on cereal to get them to sleep! They are on Neosure Advance formula now,so...let me know! thks 

Name: Cherylcd | Date: Apr 15th, 2006 4:51 AM
I have 4 year old twins (girl/girl)and yes I was hard and I had the nerve to breast feed...whew....It is too soon to start cereal, it will have to be around 6 months. 

Name: Melissa | Date: Apr 15th, 2006 6:33 AM
Hi, Amy, i just went to the doctor for their 4 month checkup, and he said that we could put them on rice cereal now. so my twins are on cereal, and they are exactly 4 months 1 day old. But just ask your dr. my twin girls still wake up once in the middle of the night, and boy does it suck!! i just cant wait to at least get 6 hours of straight sleep. the cereal does not seem to help my twins. i have even given them green beans, Alexa eats it, but Alyssa does not. It was so nice the other day, we were able to take them outside in shorts for the first time. it was nice. it was 86 degrees here in illinois. ok, well i just got home from work, and im beat. good night everyone!! 

Name: Amy | Date: Apr 16th, 2006 5:51 AM
Thanks for your replys,all is much apprieciated!My Dr. said the kids dont need to be on cereal yet because it would take away from their high calorie formula..oh well,my son can go about 4 to 5 hrs un interupted but my daughter is up every 3 to 3 1/2 hrs.Hopefully they will sleep thru the night soon enough.Since they were born at 7 1/2 mths their gestational age is only at 42 weeks now,but have had them for 2 1/2 mths so maybe thats what it is.And hey,whats with them loosing their baby hair?Did Alexa and Alyssa loose their baby hair?thks 

Name: Melissa | Date: Apr 16th, 2006 4:42 PM
uh, yeah, they lost alot, i was looking at pictures of them when they were born, and boy they had alot of hair. but now, they have hardly any. How much did your twins weigh? i was almost 39 weeks when i had mine. ill tell you i could hardly walk!! alyssa weighed 6lbs2oz, and alexa weighed a whopping 7lb 5oz. i was huge!! well if you want email me at [email protected] and i will email you some pics of my babies!! 

Name: Melissa | Date: Apr 16th, 2006 4:43 PM
THIS IS TO ALL!! I HOPE EVERYONE AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE A FANTASTIC EASTER!!! 

Name: Melissa | Date: Apr 20th, 2006 1:19 AM
well, hello, everyone, i took my twins to the dermatologist and they have excema, and they got prescribed an oral antibiotic, and a steroid cream. we will see how that goes, im a little leary, but at this point i dont know what else to do. the dr said that it should all be cleared up within 2 weeks. so hopefully!! 

Name: jovan | Date: Apr 26th, 2006 1:37 PM
hey! im still pregnant with twins. it's a boy and a girl and im scared to death!!!!! 

Name: Melissa | Date: Apr 27th, 2006 2:12 AM
Hi, jovan, congrats on your twins!! believe me, it will be ok, yes of course it is very scary when you find out, but once they get here, you will be overjoyed, are these your first kids? i have four kids, and if i can do it, then you can, yes it is hard at first, just trying to get into a schedule, but once everything gets settled down, it will be great, my twins are about 4 1/2 months old now, and its starting to get more and more fun. if you ever need any thing, just let me know, and email me at [email protected] . how far along are you? 

Name: Jovan | Date: May 2nd, 2006 6:56 PM
hey melissa. yes, these are my first kids. my bf is so amazing. he's been there since the very beginning. i'm goin on 7 months May 2nd. it's hard right now because my family doesnt want anything to do with me. that hurts. im still goin to school and doin what i need to. 

Name: Melissa | Date: May 4th, 2006 7:10 PM
jovan, i am so glad that your boyfriend is there for you, now your family on the other hand, they are the ones that are missing out. all you need to do right now is concentrate on your pregnancy, and how happy they will make you. i hope your family comes around and sees what they are missing. your bundles of joy will be here shortly, and you will be so happy with them and your boyfriend. if you need any advice, i am here, and i can help you if i can. im fairly new at mothering twins too, but im here for you. good luck and keep me posted on how you are doing. 

Name: JOVAN | Date: May 9th, 2006 1:42 PM
THANX MELISSA. HOW ARE YOU DOIN? 

Name: Melissa | Date: May 10th, 2006 2:49 AM
oh, not too bad, i am still battling my twins eczema, it came back, even with a steroid cream, and antibiotics:( i just dont know what else to do. so we have to go to the dermatologist again, in a few days. i just hate this!! anyways, other than that, i am doing ok, just kind of stressfull since i am the only one working full time right now, my husband goes back to work on the 17th, so i am soooo glad, hes been off for about 3 months, so its been tough. anyways, this sunday the twins wil be 5 months old. yeah!! they are getting soo big, i cant believe it, they have recently started laughing, and it is sooo funny. anyways, i hope youre doing good. cya 

Name: jovan | Date: May 10th, 2006 1:00 PM
can you tell me all about how it is to have 2 babies around? the good and bad moments? my 2 bigheads are kicking!!! i feel like my ribs are gonna bust open!!!!! 

Name: Melissa | Date: May 11th, 2006 2:44 AM
well, at first it is really nice, because all they do is sleep, they are only awake for about 5 hours every day. so that is nice. but as they get older, they are awake more and more. which sucks at times. but hey, that means they are growing up. and some good times are when they first start to smile. man i love that, or when they start to laugh. i am just so glad that your boyfriend is with you, because at times it is hard when i have them by myself, but you have to take into consideration that i also have 2 other kids, so that toughens it up a bit. you might have it a little easier. oh, and at first you and your boyfriend will want to stay up and take care of them, well that was mine and my husbands mistake right there, we were both up constantly with them, well that only lasted 1 day, and then we got smart, and just took turns, my husband watched them till about 12 or 1 in the morning , and i would take over after that. so depending on your guys schedule, that would be the best. just overall you will get so much attention when you go to the store, man everytime we go somewhere, we get swamped with people gawking over the twins, its kinda fun though. And what really makes me laugh is when people ask, "oh are they twins?" i feel like saying no, they are triplets, or no theres just one. anyways the most popular comment that we receive is "you have your hands full" we hear that at least once a day, its funny, anyways i better let you go now. cya. 

Name: jovan | Date: May 11th, 2006 1:01 PM
wow! that's sounds crazy but at the same time fun. it's really hard on me because my mom dont want anything to do with me. i didnt drop out of school like most girls. i'll be graduatiing next year. i even plan to go to college. i'm staying with a good friend and my bf is workin on movin out of his mom's house so we can get our own place. i sometimes regret my pregnancy. is that bad?
thanx for the good advice 

Name: Melissa | Date: May 11th, 2006 3:55 PM
no, that is not bad, believe me that is exactly how i felt, we were done having kids, since we had our boy, and our girl, we were happy, so when we found out that i was pregnant, i, especially was very upset, i could not believe it!! we did not want any more kids!! but anyways, we finally accepted it!! i even had an ultrasound at about 7 weeks, and they only seen 1 baby, so they told me well, it is only 1. and i was like ok! then at 20 weeks i had a routine ultrasound, and i knew that i looked like i was already 8 months pregnant, when i was only 5. so i told the nurse my concerns, and she started the ultrasound, and not even 2 minutes later, shes like weeeeeellllll, you have 2 babies, and i was like WHAT!!, so that made it worse, but you know what, i was really exctatic after about 1 day. i was telling everyone, and buying tons of things for my babies. anyways, once they get here, you will feel totally different. you will be like, "how could i have thought that?" cause that is exactly what i felt and thought. well i am so glad that you are going to be graduating. and please dont worry about your family, (easier said than done, right) i know. but your babies feel what you feel, and you wont be pregnant forever, cherish these moments, and 1 thing i recommend, TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES OF YOU BEING PREGNANT!! you wont believe how many i have, 1 i feel so bad that i dont have any more, i just didnt feel like having my picture taken., you might not either, but who cares, take ALOT!! i wish i did. anyways, ill talk to ya later!!
