The Parents' Guide to Raising Twins: From Pre Birth to First School Days, the Essential Book for All

As an expectant mother of twins, I have read several books on the subject of twins pregnancy and raising twins. I have found this book to be one of the most straightforward and reassuring books that I have read. Other books I read made me feel overwhelmed, as if I am not up to the task. This book has had a very calming effect on me, because of its practical and non-judemental advice. The quotes from parents of twins throughout the book are revealing and helpful as well. Because the authors are from the UK, some of the quotes will sound funny to Americans, such as the one from a woman who said that she drank plenty of Guinness to help her regain her strength after her babies were born.

This book is great! It covers everything from pregnancy through the school years. The quotes could have came out of my mouth! It's full of wonderful ideas from how to feed two babies at once to how to keep your twins busy.

This is a well balanced book which will help any parent of multiples keep their sanity -- as much as that is possible :)The quotes were wonderful. Many of them really rang true and gave me a sense that other families knew exactly what we were going through. It covered all the issues that I could think of.

This is the best book I have read about raising twins or more. I'm a mexican mother of triplets and you don't have an idea how this book has helped and resolved all my questions, doubts and everything referring to multiples. I surely recommend it.

Parent’s Guide to Raising Twins is the best book I have read so far on multiple in the early years. Friedrich & Rowland cover all the important stages from pregnancy, to labor, to issues like surviving the first year through their preschool days. They blend a great sense of humor with the realities of multiples. As a new mother of triplets with very little time to do anything, much less read, I found this book a must read for all mothers either expecting multiples or those mothers with multiples in their early years.
