ABOUT THE BOOK


Having more than one baby at once can test the endurance of even the most calm and experienced parent. This inspiring and enlightening guide will be welcomed by all parents of 'more than one at once' who find that the standard baby and childcare guides fall a little short of their special needs.


This book is the first manual for many years to have been written by a mother of twins. It offers first-hand professional, practical and emotional advice to help parents cope with the development and rearing of twins from conception to adulthood. The early chapters offer information on feeding, managing, schooling, adolescence and other issues. Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between twins as individuals as they grow up, their relationships with others both inside and outside the family, and sibling rivalry. Essential, enlightening and often amusing reading for every parent of twins or more.
