Customer Reviews

Great, fast, easy read.

This book is great for people on the go, who want to know what to expect when having multiples. I don't have time to read an encyclopedia on the subject, and appreciate this fast, easy-to-digest format. It's full of useful information and tips.

A must have if you are expecting twins!

Twins 101 is both informative and practical. Dr. Le-Bucklin's approach to understanding twins from conception, through delivery and into infancy is simple an easy to understand. I wish this book was around when I was pregnant with my twins. By the time I discovered Twins 101, my twins were 2, and even then, I still learned new and useful information. Twins 101 is everything an expecting parent of twins needs to know. Dr. Le-Bucklin is a mom of twins, as well as a pediatrician. It comforts me in knowing she has been through it and understands it on a medical level, as well someone who has personally experienced the joys of twins.

A Must Have for Parents of Twins

Dr. Le-Bucklin's book covers the information moms-to-be are faced with regarding pregnancy (especially twin pregnancy), labor and delivery and the NICU. She offers a medical perspective, and perhaps the more important "Mom" insights that aren't taught in medical school or pediatrics training. She offers advice and reassurance for parents of multiples that is well-organized and fast reading. I'll recommend her book to my patients' parents in my pediatrics practice.

Excellent, easy-reading, informative!

Dr. Le-Bucklin has written a well-organized and easy-to-digest book that is a must-have for parents expecting twins. She combines insightful, personal experiences with her strong medical background to give a blend of information that both educates and entertains. This book addresses many of the questions, worries, and practical considerations that parents of multiples face straight from early pregnancy to infancy and beyond. An excellent reading experience!

Must have for parents expecting twins!

Insightful and detailed, unlike any other book on the subject of twins. Dr. Le-Bucklin can relate to the reader from personal experience. The tips are realistic for "real life" application and incredibly effective. This book would make a great gift for moms expecting multiples!
