Program Description: This group is for ANY new or expectant parents of multiples and are welcome to attend any meeting.
General Comments: Twins by the Bay offers an invaluable support group for new and expectant parents of multiples. The support group is facilitated by club volunteers, themselves parents of multiples, and meets in-person or on Zoom. At any given meeting, various issues regarding expecting and handling multiple infants might be discussed: *How do parents with multiples manage to find sleep? *What kind of help is available for new parents and how do you find leads? *How do you breastfeed multiples? Do you need to pump to supplement? What about formula? *How you will meet the emotional needs of both/all of your newborns? *How do families make space for multiple babies? *What equipment is essential? *Side-by-side or front to back strollers? *How do I meet other parents with multiples? These are just a few of the many issues new and expectant parents face. Research shows that new parents with good support systems are better able to handle the challenges that come with parenting, especially when there is more than one new baby to love and nurture.
