The BEST book for mothers expecting multiples

Don't let the negative reviews stop you from reading this book. Hands down it is the BEST book out there for mothers expecting twins or more. Although most multiples are delivered by cesarean these days, Ms. Noble does address the concerns of mothers who desire a natural birth as well. There aren't many books out there that even acknowledge that a mother of multiples might consider a natural birth. I reread the birth stories again and again in the last weeks of my twin pregnancy. I also had my girls at home despite having had a previous cesarean.

Some of the topics in this book may be more "alternative" or "AP" than many mainstream parents would care for... However, Ms. Noble's statements are backed by plenty of research and documentation to support her views. She balances it out by providing information for those mothers who might choose a more mainstream parenting approach as well.

Read the book, cover to cover, and you will gain a wealth of information.

positive parenting.

So many parents today are so eager to place their baby in a vibrating device, prop them up with a bottle and go on that our society is often shocked to here suggestions from experts that are to the contrary. We must remember that ours is one of the few cultures which places babies in objects for self-entertainment, in seperate rooms for sleep and routinely chooses the big c for boys.
I am a breastfeeding, co-sleeping mom of twins. Other books have suggested I feed formula to keep my sanity. How is waking up 50 times in the middle of the night to make bottle sanity? How is coping with the thousands of doctors visits which result from formula usage related illnesses (ie ear infections, constipation, and even lukemia) easier? Is it fair to sacrifice the health of my kids for what is convenient? Let's face it people, children are not for those who can't accept a little sacrifice! I am beginning a PhD program in maternal-infant bonds and the more I know about our cultural child-rearing practice the more I understand our materialism and the violence which plagues our society.
If you want a compassionate, infant-centered look at having twins, this is it. If you want to hear that what you do will not affect the way your child turns out, look elsewhere.
