This book belongs in any household with twins or triplets. It is the most helpful book on raising twins that I have ever seen. The expert information is very useful and it is written so well that you wont put it down until you are done. This is a must have for anyone with a set of multiples in their family!
I still would not reccomend this book to anyone I know expecting twins.My boy/girl twins are now 16 weeks old, and I still feel this book is full of mixed information... I was very happy to read all of the information on the different types of twins but felt this may have been the bright spot in the book.After a COMPLETELY disatrous experience reading The Joy of Twins, I felt this was at least marginally better.I am still quite disapointed in this book when it comes to how it made me feel with regards to my personal choices of bottle feeding my children as well as going back to work.I am still searching for a realistic and honest book on the complications, elations, frustrations and pure joys of having twins....If this is what you too are looking for, don't bother spending your money here.
If you're the kind of person that wants good information in a condenced format, this book can be a bit frustrating. It is very "wordy", and I found myself scanning each page looking for the real information. Also, much of the information presented is "common sense". I'm sure that some people could benefit from this book, but if you have average intelligence, it may not be very helpful.
I have read this book since I am a first time mother expecting twins. I think the book is full of good information although I felt like I was reading the same thing over and over and over. It is the second book I have read about twins. I still haven't found a book that I absolutely love, but I have a few months until the twins come to find that book. Although it has good information, it just seems really repetitive to me.
When you finally have time to sit down and read this book through it is full of great information on raising twins. But when you are a parent of twins you more often have time to skim the chapters that just pertain to you at this time and this book is great for that too. Almost everything that you could need to know is summed up in this great book.
What a relief to find this book, a constant resource to our newly expanded family (we are blessed with triplets). I know we will be using this book well for years to come, and I highly recommend it for new parents too. These authors know their stuff, and I'm so glad they were willing to so eloquantly share it with the world. Read it all!
