Actor Charlie Sheen named his newborn fraternal twins Bob and Max because the monikers were "easy to remember".
The Two and a Half Men star and his wife Brooke Mueller welcomed the boys into the world last week.
The twins are the fourth and fifth children for the 43-year-old. He has a 24-year-old daughter, Cassandra, from a previous relationship, and shares little girls Sam, four, and Lola, three, with ex-wife Denise Richards.
Sheen says, "They're very short and simple, easy to spell and remember… Bob is the same frontward and backward. I'm a fan of short and simple names."
Sheen and Mueller married in May last year.

Becky - I hope its nothing to worry about! Poor lil Ruby, Chris gets really distressed when he's sick now Get well soon vibes to all the family x

Sami it has been horrible! She really does projectile vomit & there is just sooo much of it. Ruby has never really been poorly like this before. She's had a couple of colds but that's about it really. She has been in bed with me for the last six nights due to the fact that she has been so poorly & being sick throughout the night. Horrible! I hope she's getting better now as i'm knackered!!

Last night she woke me up being sick at 1am. Hubby got her bathed whilst I sorted all the bed & sicky clothes towels etc. back in bed for 1.30am & I didn't get back to sleep until 4am & then I woke up at 6!! :mad: There's no wonder I feel like going to bed at 8pm! :eek:

Just my opinion and not medical advice at all but If I were you I'd be inclined to not supplement provided she's is happy,
Have you spoken to a breast feeding councellor and are you making sure you're eating properly?

Edit: or use the Medla supplemental nursing system in stead of a bottle http://www.expressyourselfmums.co.uk/details1.asp/ProductID/292/sid/26/Medela-Supplemental-Nursing-System

Aww becky you poor things!
Have you got any bet mats? the ones meant for kids who wet the bed or for catching your waters? if you pop one under the sheet hopefully it would soak up most of the mess.
Nothing worse than middle of the night baths and bed changes!

AM... got confused with the mention of a good poop!!

why castor oil??

Oh lol
It's 'supposed' to bring on labour, u know like pinapple and curries lol well it's probably an old wives tale but some people have sworn by it so imo it's worth a chance.

Hope everything goes well tomorrow, becky xxx

Poor Ruby! Someone mentioned using cat litter on the Parent Thread to clear up sick. Hope she feels better soon.

I've been putting towels down on the bed and just throwing them in the wash. You have just reminded me though that I do have some of those massive Boots maternity mats buried in the garage somewhere. Will dig them out. Thanks for that!
