Twin Girl Buckteeth from Pacifier

I personally do not believe that children get buckteeth from a pacifier, but I know there are people who will disagree. My husband (before braces) and his mother (and her siblings) all have buckteeth, so I'm more sensitive that our twin baby girl will have them as well, although I have no doubt she will have braces, either way.

At any rate, we're getting ready to take the pacifiers from the twin baby set. We've already started restricting the pacifiers to bedtime and naps, so we're hoping that the transition will be a little easier. Any suggestions??

Twin Baby Set Fall into Toilet ?

Are toddlers supposed to start potty training on one of those small floor-style potty chairs or on the adult toilet? I told the twin twin father that the twin baby set should start with a small potty, then move on to one of the toilet trainer inserts you can put on top of the toilet seat.

We bought the Eddie Bauer potty chairs, and both the twin girl and twin baby boy are willing to sit on it, but they don't seem to have the cognitive ability to know what it's for. I do think that 14 months old is too young, but I suppose if we put it in the bathroom, they'll become accustomed to seeing it and it will seem natural when we can start training.

What about potty training pants? Do we put those on from the beginning or wait until they seem to have a good handle on it?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start potty training? I've looked at all the potty training aids, like the books and the Potty Monkey, but I'm sure some methods are better than others, and what about gender? I think the twin girl would be easier than the twin boy, simply because her language skills are better.

Twin Girl - Fall from Highchair ??

The twin twin set has been eating in booster-type chairs on the floor for a while, but I'm starting to wonder if we need to buy highchairs. My concern is the twin girl falling from the highchair because she can release the tray latch on her booster. Has anyone out there seen a twin twin fall from a highchair, or am I just being paranoid?

There are some booster seats that have little legs on them, so maybe we'll get a set of those. I see that they also have "seatbelts," so that would probably work as well with the highchairs.

The ones we have now are older and don't have seatbelts. We bought them at a second-hand sale for multiples in our area. They were only $10, but I guess you get what you pay for...
