So helpful by Amanda Donahoe (Denver, CO)  5 Stars
September 03, 2009
I bought this after a girlfriend told me about reading the singleton version. Before reading this book I felt like I was at the mercy of my babies. Using the suggestions and tactics of this book, we now have a regular routine and we are all so much happier :)

Essential Survival Guide by Elissa 5 Stars
August 17, 2009
As a mother of twins, I am sincerely grateful for this incredibly helpful book. Dr. Weissbluth's sleep advice literally improved the quality of our lives: we followed his advice word for word, and our twins literally began sleeping through the night within days--which enabled us to sleep through the night too! Also, the twin's daytime sleep improved as well, and their nap schedules provided us with much needed free time. I found the book easy to read, concise, and it provided concrete steps for creating healthy sleep habits. I read the entire book in one night, and could immediately implement Dr. Weissbluth's advice. We have not found another book anywhere that specifically tailors sleep advice to twins: this is a must-have survival guide for any parent of multiples.

Good, but same by gmamama (Fayetteville, AR)  4 Stars
July 14, 2009
I have already read Dr. Weissbluth's previous book, Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby. This book for twins seemed to repeat much of the earlier book. I found that there were a few unique points for twins, but it's not as different as I had hoped. But it's good and helpful information, just no need to read both books.

Good content... but longer than it needs to be. by Amanda Hamm (NC)  3 Stars
July 06, 2009
There is definitely some good information in this book. But it's really drawn out. The first thirty pages or so describe the importance of sleep and healthy sleep habits. If you're reading this book (and especially if you have newborn twins in the house), I suspect you already know how important sleep is. Chapter 3 is probably the best resourse. It lists sleepy signs from your baby and how to make sure you get him or her to bed before he or she is overtired. And it makes suggestions about the amount of sleep a baby needs and good times for naps. If, however, you don't think you can bear to let your baby cry, this book may not be for you.
There is also a chapter on breastfeeding twins and one on prematurity. Again, this is good information, but if you are reading this book just for help with sleeping habits it feels like filler. And the chapter on creating a sleep team can be summerized like this: make sure you, your spouse and anyone else who cares for your twins are on the same page with sleep-training so you don't screw up each others' efforts. He takes about 20 pages to say that.
