twin baby book

janjag

hi ladies,

unrelated to, or not specific to sleep... do you recommend a twin baby book? aside from bugging you all, it would be nice to have a reference to go to. also, i don't always have time to sit at the computer, and a trusted book would be nice to have while i'm pumping

thanks for any recommendations!

I'm assuming you mean a book about twins, not the kind where you fill in their info?

I liked Twin Set & Twin Sense the best. THere are a few that are not quite so 'practical' in presentation like Juggling Twins & Ready or Not Here They Come but those are more humorous mixed in with tips/practical info so it depends on what you're looking for. A lot of the ones I've seen are more about preparing to have them & the early stuff, which you're past...I think?

For basic baby info I like Baby 411.

GL!

i really liked "Twin Set" and "Ready or Not Here We Come" - i felt both gave very practical advice for parents of twins - and were fun (and funny) to read.

if you need info on how to raise a baby - then get a regular "what to expect the first year" type of book- because the twin books i have read don't teach you what you need to do with babies- but how to do the things you do with twins--- but assume you already know what you'll be doing - if that makes sense

I love Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child. He has a section on multiples. He also came out with a book called Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Twins. It's worth a read but the first one is better to have on hand long-term for a reference. (It deals with sleep issues through adolescence!)
I also like Mothering Multiples. I think the author's name is Karen Gromada?
