Twins Triplets and More Week

This week is Twins, Triplets and More Week, which seemed like the perfect time to talk about multiples.  Being told you’re expecting more than one baby can be a daunting, exciting and magical experience.  There are unique challenges associated with raising two or more babies, which starts with the decision of how you’re going to feed them. 

If you’re expecting twins and are hoping to breastfeed, we have some amazing advice from Tamba, the Twins and Multiple Births Assocation.  We’ve also got some stories from mums of twins on what it’s like to raise two babies at the same time, for one mum it led to the birth of a new business as well as two baby daughters!

If you’re a mum whose had twins, triplets or more, we’d love to hear your story, how was your pregnancy, did you breastfeed, how were the first few months, how old are your babies now?  To see your words published here, please contact michelle@peekaboocoms.co.uk
