Mothering Multiples, revised edition
Karen Kerkhoff Gromada
Karen Kerkhoff Gromada expands an LLLI best-seller of 15 years to include a plethora of updated information for parents of multiples, especially discussing how to work together as a team. With an emphasis on attachment-style parenting, Gromada discusses parenting multiples from pregnancy and birth to toddlerhood, including infant care and maternal care, and the inclusion of older babies in the enlarged family. She has based this expanded revision on her experience counseling thousands of women as a lactation consultant and La Leche League Leader and founder of the first LLL group for families with multiples. Gromada also includes a resource guide, index and recent photos.
