So, you have been blessed with multiples! As shocked as you may be, those babies will be arriving before you know it, It is never too early to start preparing for multiples, most parents that are carrying multiples will deliver early or be put on bed rest well before the actual due date, so it’s important to plan and prepare early for their arrival. Having not only the items that you may need in place but also having the “help” lined up and ready to care for the babies, will help relieve a lot of stress on the parents as the pregnancy progresses. As a Newborn Care Specialist and Consultant, I not only have experience caring for multiples, I am also very good at organizing and planning. I can help by providing advice on making a multiples must have list – No, you do not need two or more of everything! – I can provide help setting up your home to accommodate multiple babies, and I can also assist you with setting up a chore/to do sign up sheet and a schedule for volunteers that I’m sure will be eager to help, whether it be family members, neighbors or friends, people are usually willing to do just about anything to help a family with multiple babies. I can easily set things up so that your home doesn’t become a revolving door of chaos after the babies come home.
