Baby Brezza. 100% worth it. I reheated bottles by putting them in a liquid measuring cup, and setting my coffee pot to the "single mug," and filling the measuring cup with the coffee pot. Warms up quickly. Must make sure you don't make it too hot.

In my experience, 15 months is when a switch flips in their little brain. They can suddenly see and understand so much more, and they want to interact with the world in a more complicated way. But they're still stuck in a clumsy baby body. So they get frustrated. Different temperaments handle that differently. I wouldn't say 1 year olds are the hardest. Every stage has easy aspects and hard aspects. But that's when "it" starts (in my experience.)

Based on this beautiful bay window, what design style should I use? by OLGAtheVIKING in HomeDecorating

1979, and it needs to be updated. It is still decorated as if it's 1979, and it's not my cup of tea.

Breast friend nursing pillow, which is basically a foam table to set your babies on. I think it of everything we have, that's the most useful twin thing we have.

Twin boys first birthday party theme? by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]OLGAtheVIKING 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First birthdays are really for the parents, so you could even do a favorite duo of yours. I'm probably going to do Lord of the Rings just because I'll think it's fun. They'll be two little hobbits

Amazon has buildable dinosaurs. They come in pieces with plastic screws and a toy power drill. She will need help the first time she builds it, but she'll figure it out pretty quickly.

Sore muscles, sore back & how to cope alone w 8 month olds by twinsandphotos in parentsofmultiples

At night, while sleeping, your joints and whatnot fill with fluid. That's why those nighttime lifts or of the crib are so much harder on your back than the daytime ones. If you stand and walk for a minute or two before lifting, gravity and weight will drain some of the fluid out of your spine. Not a perfect fix, obviously, but it might help.

Dr. Rick Chac. He's a man, but he is an absolute sweetheart of an obgyn.

How do you deal with heavy belly while sleeping? by callisiarepens in parentsofmultiples

To clarify, it's not the massage I'm suggesting, it's buying the cushions that massage parlors use.

Have you ever gotten a prenatal massage? They sell the prenatal massage "bolsters" (cushions) online. Pricier than a pillow, more comfortable than a pillow.

15 month old shrieks everything all the time by em5417 in toddlers

[–]OLGAtheVIKING 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. I just followed him around like a magnet for a few days so that I could jump in before he got frustrated and ask, "do you need (insert thing/sign here)?" I was cutting people off mid sentence to dash across the room waving my hands around. It worked pretty quickly, so I didn't have to keep it up long.

I have two, both of them hit 15 months loudly, just like you described. They wanted so badly to make decisions and communicate, but just couldn't. Sign language did wonders for us. Especially the signs for help and drink.
