3.0 out of 5 stars Great for triplets or more, less good for twins, February 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Raising Multiple Birth Children: A Parent's Survival Guide, Birth-Age 3 (Paperback)
I bought this book based on the positive reviews I saw here at Amazon, but I was very disappointed when I read the book myself. I have 6-month-old twins and although there were some useful tips here and there, I feel that the book is really geared more toward triplets and higher-level multiples. The biggest example: this book barely addresses breastfeeding (very do-able with twins; much more challenging with triplets and more) and instead spends a great deal of time offering advice for coordinating the preparation of bottles and formula. While it is wonderful that those of you with 3+ have this book, I don't recommend it to parents of twins.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for parents of multiples!, September 3, 1999

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Raising Multiple Birth Children: A Parent's Survival Guide, Birth-Age 3 (Paperback)
This book is fabulous! If you are pregnant with,or parents of multiples, this book is for you. Filled with practical advice, tips, and quotes, it is a great read. There is no "sugar coating." It is a realistic, helpful and at times hysterical book! I cannot recommend this highly enough!

PS We met the authors of this book and they are GREAT! A+++++

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic info to read when your babes are little, June 13, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Raising Multiple Birth Children: A Parent's Survival Guide, Birth-Age 3 (Paperback)
I read this when my triplets were 6 months old (boy,boy,girl) - sleeping all night and I actually had time to read something. I'd suggest buying this and reading it before the babes arrive. All of the addresses for free stuff they list are GREAT! I sent to all of them and probably got $800 worth of free stuff. The enfamil formula was worth it alone. So write out all of your envelopes BEFORE they are born then just copy your birth certs, and zoom -- free stuff. The UPS guy was wondering what was up at our house as I got boxes daily. Some of the other tips I figured out along the way too, but should have read this book during my 3 months of bed rest. So buy this book was soon as you know you've got the BIG 3 coming and buy bibs every time you see them!

There's a lot of twin books out there, but very few for us triplet folks and believe me, when you and your spouse are each feeding one -- the 3rd always knows it and that's when you belong to the triplet club. So grab any info you can for triplets because they've got you outnumber and they know it very young. The triplet connection is a great website too. This info is also provided in this book.
