Outnumbered from day one - the book

The UK twin pregnancy and parenting book. Printed and delivered to your door. 15 chapters from pregnancy through to 18 months. Honest, practical, UK-specific.

There are a lot of parenting books. Most of them are American, written for singletons, or so relentlessly positive they tell you nothing useful.  This one is different. Outnumbered From Day One is the UK twin pregnancy and parenting book you've been looking for, and the honest guide to life with twins. It’s UK-specific, written by a UK twin mum, and covers everything from the moment you find out you’re having twins through to the end of 18 months. The good bits, the hard bits, and everything you actually need to know

What’s inside

• 15 chapters from twin pregnancy through to 18 months

• Feeding: breastfeeding, bottle feeding and combination feeding twins
• NHS appointments, scans and what to expect at each stage 
• Routines: how to get two babies on the same schedule

Who it’s for

This book is for anyone expecting twins or in the first 18 months of twin parenting. It doesn’t matter whether your twins are identical or non-identical, whether they’re your first children or not, or whether you’re planning to breastfeed or bottle feed. The book is written to be useful wherever you are.

Why a UK twin pregnancy book matters

Most twin parenting books are written for an American audience. That means different medical systems, different products, different entitlements, and advice that simply doesn’t translate. This book was written in the UK, for UK parents, with UK-specific NHS guidance, UK product recommendations, and UK benefit information throughout. No conversions needed.
