Trys very hard to be like the Girlfriend's Guide series, but falls short. Makes a list of things parents of twins don't want to hear and includes something about how hard it's going to be... spends rest of the book saying exactly that. Spent about a page on breastfeeding and about 5 on bottle feeding. Makes suggestions like "hire a night nanny."

A good, lively and practical guide to the first year with twins. I like that she also has an older child in the mix, and includes lots of non-twin sibling tips. She's also fairly open-minded as far as work and feeding options, including advice from friends that chose different paths than she did.
If you're expecting multiples I'd recommend this book. I think her ideas are good and her conversational writing style makes the book easy to digest.

Although the book was written for twins, I believe many of the tips will be helpful when we bring home our triplets, due in Oct. I already have a toddler & much of her advice makes sense in light of what I encountered with my son. There are great helpful hints for adapting the "how to's" to twins.
Can anybody recommend a book to me that's for surviving your 1st year with triplets?

Suppose I should read this now that the twins will be here in the spring. Realistically I will probably start reading it in the delivery room.

This seems to be a great(and realistic) guide to welcoming twins. I will not know for sure for a few more months now, but it has a lot of common sense tips and it isn't your typical twins book that assumes you have no other children and everyone on the planet is eager and waiting to help you with everything so you can rest all the time. Now I do have more children than anyone in this book seems to, but it is still very realistic and down to earth with its approach to give you tips on organizat...more
A must-read for moms of twins!
I read a ton of books on twins and what life would be like after wards. All the books said it would be super hard, that I was going to need tons of help. The books made it seem like having twins would be so difficult. However we have managed just fine. I'm glad I read the books, because instead of being overwhelmed, I've felt that it is easier than I thought it would be.
This book proved to be very useful. Before our twins were born we had no idea what stuff we needed and didn't need and this book helped navigate us through the mountains of baby products out there. It's fun to read and does a pretty good job of letting you know what to expect. If you have infant twins, or are pregnant with twins I highly recommend this book!
From this book, I learned I'm not alone! Other mother's have survived with their sense of humor intact. Witty and cute book about the first year with a toddler and twins babies. I wouln't call this a reference book, but rather a fun read with some great advice from a girlfriend who's been there.
Excellent book about the first year with twins! Gave me lots of great ideas on how to handle the legistics of how to do basic and not so basic things with them. Great advice on what's important, and what's not.
Very good, totally practical information. Way more down to earth, and here's what works, even if it's not exactly what you "should" do. And humorous.
The very best book I found on managing twins in thier first year. Whitty, funny, and helpful while giving full respect to the healing power of chocolate.
A must read for anyone expecting twins, it's hilarious. I think most parents would probably enjoy this book and the humor that the author uses.
This book was awesome. The author is actually from Naperville and gives you the real low down what to expect when you are having twins!
This helped explain what I was in for when with twins. It is not sugar coated!
This woman came in my house and wrote a book! :) Life with infant twins.
Like the Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy for twins.
Y wiil be patien with my twins baby.....
