Overview

Caring for More Than One Baby

A pregnancy of two or more babies is called a multiple pregnancy. Caring for just one newborn is a big job. Raising more than one baby means even less sleep, more work, and less time for yourself. From time to time, you may feel frustrated that you can't keep up with work at home. Don't wait for stress to become a problem before you ask for help. Your family, friends, and doctor can help you find ways to cope.

Breastfeeding more than one baby can be challenging, but it helps to build the bond between you and each baby. It can give your babies better health. If you plan to breastfeed your babies, your doctor or lactation consultant can give you good advice.

Some people feel sad or depressed after having twins or more. Talk to your doctor if you feel depressed or have troubling thoughts.

How can you care for yourself when raising multiples?
