TWINS!
Pregnancy, Birth and the First Year of Life |
Second Edition
by Connie L. Agnew, M.D. and Alan H. Klein, M.D.
Published by HarperCollins
Perinatologist Dr. Connie Agnew and pediatrician Dr. Alan Klein specialize in high-risk infant care. With writer Jill Alison Ganon, they address in this book unique concerns of parents of multiples from early pregnancy through the first year of the lives of the twins.
Topics covered include pre-pregnancy planning, nutrition, preparations for bringing the twins home, the father's role in the twins' first year, sleeping and feeding, considerations of breast and bottle feeding and more. Roundtable discussions with parents of twins regarding their experiences enhance the book, as do four appendices covering resources for parents, growth charts, immunization schedules and a table detailing chromosome abnormalities risks.
