The best twin-tested tips used by real moms

The stresses that come with raising two babies are numerous - but they are predictable and manageable. From a mom who's been there, Juggling Twins is a funny, realistic, and reassuring guide for every new mom of twins who may be asking herself, "Can I really pull this off?"

From pregnancy to health issues, to eating, sleeping, bathing, and leaving the house, Juggling Twins is packed with the detailed, authoritative information that parents of multiples crave. Author and mother of twin boys Meghan Regan-Loomis offers an indispensable toolkit of solutions and techniques, designed to create order out of the chaos and help you catch your breath during this daunting and exhilarating time.

You'll learn how to:

• Nurse two babies at the same time, comfortably and efficiently
• Get exactly the help you need from family and friends in those first few weeks
• Safely transport two babies at once when it's just you and them
• Survive the nights by breaking them into shifts (that include you sleeping)
• Stockpile the right food and supplies in advance of their arrival
• Maintain your identity and your marriage through the madness

Get prepared, stay calm, and count your blessings (two!)—raising twins can be a wonderful, intense challenge that draws on the best in you.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Most useful twin book I have read
Comment: When you are ready to start planning for their actual arrival and not just the pregnancy part, this book is great. Great suggestions that are rational and realistic. Truly enjoyed reading as I prepare for my twins arrival next month.

Customer Rating:
Summary: The instruction booklet that should come with every set of twins!
Comment: As a mom of twins,I have found Juggling Twins to be an invaluable reference source. Regan-Loomis' approach to expecting and parenting twins is realistic and undaunting. With great wit Reghan-Loomis explores all facets of having twins. She touches on relationship issues that may arise due to lack of sleep, additional financial stress, who should do the midnight feedings (and two o'clock feedings), and needing individual personal time when you barely have time to fit in a shower. Included in this book are also GREAT tips for how to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks such as feeding both babies at the same time, getting laundry and dishes done (accept offers of help from ANYONE who offers), getting the babies on a schedule for sleep as well as feeding, trying to find time to get to know each baby as an individual, how to let your babies explore and grow while keeping them safe and not losing your mind trying to keep track of where each is (picture crawling and toddling phases of developement), and potty-training twins.

This book has helped me to realize that I'm not the only mom who has sat in my twins' room at two o'clock in the morning wondering which child I am holding and whether that child will forever be known by the other's name because I accidentally switched cribs at the last feeding. This book is the instruction booklet that should come with every set of twins!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice practical starter book
Comment: I found this book informative and interesting but aimed more at what happens after the pregnancy than during--however, it referred me to another book that has filled in what this book does not cover.

I found it amusing, informative, and enjoyable to read.
