I sent this book to my best friend who is expecting Triplets next year. I went to visit her the other day and found this book (with oodles of page flags) on her coffee table. She says that it is one of the 2 most helpful books she has gotten on her multiple pregancy-- the other being a buying guide. I scanned through the book and it is all about how to do things effeciently for parents of triplets. It really just gives you the advice you need for doing everyday baby tasks with 3 babies at once from diaper changes to feedings to taking a shower when you're alone with 3 babies! For instance, one piece of advice was to change all diapers at once- even if only one is dirtied as it helps establish a managable routine for the parents. Another thing I liked is that the information is provided in bullet, short paragraph style and the points are made in a concise manner. I am sure that is handy as parents of triplets probably don't have much time to read! She said that this is definitely a must for new parents of multiples! It gives you a heads up on those little things that can be so difficult when multiplied by three that one wouldn't even think of on the front end. I'm proud that I gave her the right book!
My husband bought this book when we found out we were expecting twins and so I decided to read it too. It really is more of an overview on the subject with very little detailed information for mom. I read it in an afternoon and didn't find it helpful in detailed nutritional information, indepth discussions on birthing options or logistics for after babies arrive but its posative and upbeat tone is perfect for alaying dad's fears and giving him a good brief of what's in store without all the additional information that mom would find useful but he may find pointless. Written in more of a "for dummies" format it is a quick read but if you rely on details you will probably want to research a different book.
I bought this for my daughter, but I went through it first. There was a dead spider in the middle of the book, I meant to take it out, but forgot and shipped it to my daughter that way. We both had a good laugh!
This I not my favorite book on twins but it does offer some useful info. I wouldn't recommend using as your how to survive twins bible but as a quick view into what life with twins is like.
This book really helped me get through a triplet pregnancy. It gave me some ideas for the future as well. It was well worth the read.
This book is full of invaluable information. Includes concepts such as the development cycles, tips and tricks, and planning for the first year.
