Mothering Multiples: Breastfeeding & Caring For Twins Or More

This is a fabulous book! I purchased this book for a friend. It was so valuable I purchased a copy for reference and loan it out to many parents, including parents of singletons. The book discusses breastfeeding multiples in great detail. The author emphasizes the LaLeche League motto that only breast is best but she also gives advice for maintaining milk production and including formula in the diet. In addition, she gives many suggestions for breastfeeding two at once, and very complete and useful instructions for when and how to express milk to maximize production. Ms. Gromada provides the best, most specific advice for all aspects of caring for twins throughout the first two years that I have seen anyplace. This includes extensive discussions of preventing prematurity, caring for preemies and low-birth weight babies, managing relations with the twins' siblings, and the psychological affects of taking on the responsibility of caring for twins. She also had many sensible and specific suggestions for making life easier. This book is very helpful, and very reassuring. Further she has information on items you do and don't need with multiples, which could save each family quite a bit of money! A MUST HAVE for parents.
