Triplet book recs for after babies are born?

Ruby_Tuesday

I know this is asked a million times.  I'm very sorry to make it a million and one.  But...

Can you recommend any good books for caring for triplets?

Also what is the best book for general newborn advice?

I have no idea how to care for a baby.  It seems like I should read a book that covers the basics and then one that gears all of that info to triplets.  Or do I just need to read one of the twins books and imagine how triplets would be different?

TIA!

There really isn't one just for triplets (or at least there wasn't one two and a half years ago...) Honestly, I never thought that far ahead, ha ha! Or I relied on the blogs and message boards for help.

Also, the NICU gave me a "handbook" and that really helped. I swear, as much as you don't want your kids in the NICU, it really is helpful to have the nurses show you how to do everything, and to get them on a schedule. Just saying, it's a silver lining.

not that this is a general guide to baby book, but "ready of not, here we come" had lots of triplet references as i remember.

This.  I really feel that the NICU is like baby boot camp.  We've learned SO MUCH from being there, and I feel much more confident for when they come home.
