What to Do When You're Having Two: The Twins Survival Guide from Pregnancy Through the First Year

Revised and updated in 2020

The creator of Twiniversity delivers an essential update to her must-have manual to having twins, now with expanded info on twin pregnancy and tandem breastfeeding, and advice on the best gear to help save your sanity.

With almost two times as many sets of twins today as there were forty years ago, What to Do When You're Having Two has quickly become the definitive resource for expectant and new parents of multiples.

A mom of fraternal twins and a world-renowned expert on parenting multiples, author Natalie Diaz launched Twiniversity, the world's leading global resource for twin parenting information and support online. Now, with her expanded edition of What to Do, she includes new information on breastfeeding, gear, sleep, and having two when you already have one, as well as:

   • creating your twin birth plan,
   • maintaining a realistic sleep schedule,
   • managing tandem breastfeeding,
   • stocking up on what you'll need (and knowing what high-tech products are now available and what's a waste of money), and
   • building a special bond with each of your twins.

Accessible, informative, and humorous, What to Do When You're Having Two is the must-have manual for every parent of twins.

Nat has been the Pied Piper of twin families around the globe since 2009 and fills her days making sure that no parent feels isolated, unsure, or not ready for their journey ahead.
As founder of Twiniversity — the world's leading resource and support network for multiple birth families — Nat's become a global influencer for this small niche community. Natalie is the world's #1 twin parenting and twin gear expert, serving as a twin consultant for top brands and worldwide recognized foundations. Natalie is a Certified Lactation Consultant and a Child Passenger Safety Technician. After Nat had her twins in 2004, she was shocked by the lack of resources available to families of multiples. So proudly, in the fall of 2009, Natalie got on a soapbox and started a twin parenting revolution called Twiniversity. She wanted to make ONE website that parents of multiples could turn to for information and community. With the mission of connecting, educating, and making parents see the comical side of having twins, Twiniversity succeeds tenfold.
