    Hi,

    I would love to find some books that provide practical tips on taking care of twins from birth to 1 year. I have "Juggling Twins" which was quite good, but would like to read a couple more. Recommendations??? Thanks so much!

    I liked "Mothering Multiples" published by La Leche League.

    My favorite was Double Duty, it was so practical and just made the most sense to me.

    I like "Raising Twins" by Shelly Vaziri Flais- she's a mother of twins and a Pediatrician and I found her book the most no-nonsense of the ones I've looked at.

    "Ready or Not, Here We Come" by Elizabeth Lyons is a fun read. It seems to have a lot of good info on gear you may need along with feeding/sleeping advice.

    It will be interesting to see how I feel about their advice once the twins are actually here! (I'm 21 weeks, so have a ways to go)

    Thanks everyone... I'll check those out.
    3under2 - I know, the title conjures up a funny image :) But it was a pretty good book!

    Some of the best resources I used in the first year were things related to sleep! Healthy Sleep Habits Happy Child is a good one, as is No Cry Sleep Solution. I wish I had read both of those before I had kids so that I could have worked on sleep issues from day one (implementing healthy habits, not sleep training when they're newborns obviously).
