Book Reviews of Double Duty : The Parents' Guide to Raising Twins, from Pregnancy Through the School Years

Book Review: Love this book!
Summary: 5 Stars

Best twin book out there by far, except for one thing.... it hasn't been updated in almost 10 years! Their tips are great, but their price estimates are way off... Other than price estimates though, the book is still very practical and gives perspectives of those who have raised kids through adult-hood, not just still in the middle of it. i like the fact she talks about birthdays and presents at the holidays and other things you wonder about. Overall, great general guide with helpful hints.

Summary of Double Duty : The Parents' Guide to Raising Twins, from Pregnancy Through the School Years

What lies ahead for expectant parents of twins? Immeasurable joy, plus many sleepless nights. Parenting twins is unlike parenting siblings of different ages. From infancy through the teen years, twins require a bit more energy and diplomacy, plus lots of clever ideas. Double Duty: The Parents' Guide to Raising Twins, from Pregnancy Through the School Years offers plenty of reassuring advice and practical strategies for coping with the challenges that lie ahead. Featuring a wealth of tips from couples with twins who've lived to tell about it, Double Duty covers everything from managing a multiple pregnancy to the first days of school. Whether you're concerned about bonding with two babies at once, getting them on the same schedule, or separating your inseparable duo for a day, Double Duty suggests many comforting solutions. It covers such twin-specific issues as:

How to increase the chances of a healthy pregnancy
How to prepare home and family for the arrival of twins
How to survive the critical first month
How to breastfeed or bottle feed two infants at once
The pros and cons of dressing twins alike
How to encourage paternal involvement
How to avoid speech difficulties in twins
How to avoid unhealthy competition between the siblings

Christina Baglivi Tinglof has had travel features published in the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune Boston Herald, and Westways Magazine. Now, as a full-time mother, she writes on parenting for LA Parent and Central California Parent magazines. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Kevin, and their fraternal twin boys, Joseph and Michael.
