The factoids about twinning are interesting (good to know for those who do NOT want twins and are on bc pills, be extra careful your first 3 months off!), it is pretty outdated. As a nanny, I was dissapointed to see that professional nannies are not even mentioned in the section on in home childcare and mother assistance. Aupairs are... but really, an aupair, a younger, less experienced gal from another country who may well have no desire to pursue childcare is probably NOT the best choice to care for infant multiples. And WOW, the payscale for babysitting for $1.50-5!! Yikes.

This was the first book (and only book thus far) I've been able to get from the local library. Good info from pregnancy all the way to several years old. It helped me to see a little of what will be happening with the babies after they're born, that's different from singletons.
