Product Description
A mother of multiple babies may find herself wondering if she can produce enough milk, how to coordinate feedings, and if breastfeeding is even an option for her. The simple answer: Yes! In the third revised edition of Mothering Multiples, author Karen Kerkhoff Gromada offers valuable information with an emphasis on breastfeeding and attachment-style parenting. All aspects of caring for multiple babies are addressed, including possible complications of pregnancy, preparing for a multiple birth, coping with newborns who might need to spend time in a NICU, establishing a milk supply for multiple babies, adjusting as a couple, and caring for toddler multiples. |

was expecting something worse! 
after reading the reviews I thought this book was going to be full of propaganda and breast feeding. I have heard about the Laleche propaganda before and was worried that it would really make me feel bad about going back to work (gotta pay for the roof over our heads!) but this book was amazing! It covers so much more than breastfeeding and really is the best multiples book I have seen so far! I'm not even sure why I only gave it 4 stars!

Minimally interesting/helpful 
This book was not as good as some others I read. And it was obviously geared a lot towards brestfeeding.

Wonderful resource 
Although I already have two children, this book has already been helpful in preparing for the arrival of our twins. People keep telling me how difficult or even impossible it is to nurse multiples and this is giving me the confidence to stick to it.

Not so helpful
I love breastfeeding but did not find this book helpful at all. There were specific concerns and questions I had about nursing twins and I didn't find the answers in a book that is all about.....nursing multiples. I found it pure propoganda and non-realistic. For instance, she advises to do rooming-in with your multiples even after a c-section. Can a mother get a bit of rest, after major surgery, before she goes home to probably very little sleep. I'm glad that I was able to avoid feeling guilty. After all, my babies are only getting breastmilk. Sure, I pump sometimes so I can have help or a rest or feed one while someone takes the other but a woman's got to know her limits.

Wordy, but a good reference book 
Not having read any other book specifically on breastfeedding multiples, I can only say that this book does contain useful pointers for handling multiples. The biggest drawback to the entire book is that it is wordy and when you read it, you feel like it could have been 1/2 the length. This shouldn't detract from its usefulness but it does make it necessary to sift through the repeated messages to remember the tips. Should you get it? Yes, if you're anal retentive like me and have the need to feel like you know everything there is to know about nursing twin and want to ensure that you'll succeed.
