Very well organized - it's easy to find the info that you want in this book.

What I liked best...unlike many books re: twins/triplets, this one gives tips for caring for babies after they arrive home.
(Most books for Moms of multiples simply scare us with all the stuff that could go wrong during pregnancy and they stop there. The "what happens when babies come home?" question is never addressed.)

I enjoyed this book much more than expected. It was very informative. I learned a lot about identical vs fraternal. I loved reading about my twins development and getting several tips about important factors after birth, such as breastfeeding. Very well done. It has an excellent resource list in the back.
