Twins is a comprehensive guide for all parents preparing for a multiple birth. It is filled with practical advice from specialists who work with expectant mothers and their twins every day.

Once the babies are born, Twins sees the whole family through the exciting and challenging first year, examining such issues as:

• Sleeping and feeding schedules
• Your babies as individuals
• Redefining the family and supporting the needs of other children
• Survival tips for extra-busy parents
