  • healthy sleep habits, happy twins!

    Breastfeeding - I think this one is pretty basic and you can get most information online or better yet, with a lactation consultant in the hospital. I didn't find much on breastfeeding twins, because it's essentially the same, just have to manage the logistics a bit differently if you tandem.

  • I'd suggest Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Twins, Twinset, and Happiest Baby on the Block. Those three books helped me get through the first six months.
  • I'm reading Raising Twins : From Pregnancy to Preschool
  • I liked Ready or Not, Here we come by Elizabeth Lyons.  It was a quick fun read, but full of very practical information.
  • Oh my goodness, I can't believe you are almost 35 weeks already, time flies so fast!!

    In addition to the other books PP mentioned, I am currently reading Mothering Multiples which is a La Leche League Book on breastfeeding twins or more.  I think it has a lot of good information which will hopefully help me out this time around :)

  • PS I just wanted to ask if you had decided either way about the C-sec vs vaginal delivery as I remember you had mentioned that both your LO's were head down??  I am in the same boat as mine have always been head down (but I guess there is still time for one or both to flip)!?!

    Good luck and I hope it is a easy delivery either way Big Smile

    I seriously still don't know!!!!!!!!!!  I think I'm going to put it in "God" and the Dr's hands by going for the vaginal and hoping that's how it ends!  (w/o a C for baby B)
