Dad's Guide to Twins: How to Survive the Twin Pregnancy and Prepare for Your Twins Paperback – April 3, 2013

I order this for my son, who was 1st time fatherBefore I gave it to him i skimmed it. I was surprised at the information and great ideas for any pregnancy.It is broke up into sections for easy reading. The font is a decent size so no eye strain.I ordered other books on multiples birth and while informative the text ran together and could not read for long. His advice on what you really need was so helpful. Hints he provided on making things run more smoothly after the birth are the best I heard to make it less stressful for new parents.Our family highly recommends it.

While this book was good and useful, primarily for coping and making me feel like I was “doing something” to get prepared for the twins, most of the advice was general and surface-level. For example, a typical headline might be "how to get financially prepared”, followed by an answer "sell stuff on craigslist, cut your spending, and get financially prepared.” But, it was an easy read, useful to fellas who haven’t been fathers before, and, in general, worth the purchase, but it’s more surface level than I would have preferred or anticipated.

I found and read “Dad’s Guide to Twins” during the early stages of my wife’s twin pregnancy, and it became a truly valuable addition to my parenting library. As a new father, I experienced some level of panic when I heard I’d soon be a dad to two infants rather than just one. Joe Rawlinson’s book was a great guide covering a wide breadth of topics important to expectant fathers of twins - everything from getting a handle on your expenses, to recommended products and baby gear (and whether to buy 1 or 2 of certain products), to how to deal with the anxieties and concerns most expectant fathers have. This book was a great change of pace to the stack of ‘mom-to-be’-focused books my wife had accumulated, and has been a resource I’ve gone to time and again both during the pregnancy and afterwards when adjusting to the new additions to our family. I’m happy to recommend “Dad’s Guide to Twins” as well as the accompanying blog and podcast series, take it from me it’s important to know that other guys have gone through the same life experience and yes, you’ll not only survive but enjoy the ride if you prepare and go in with the right attitude.

I got this book when I found out my wife and I were expecting twins. As I am sure is the case by many people, I got a little neurotic when it came to researching everything I could about twin pregnancy and twin products, and just getting all of the information that I could. As a first time parent, and a first time parent of twins, I found the book very helpful in terms of real down to earth information, suggestions, and recommendations. I would definitely recommend (and I have) this book to any expectant father of twins.Additionally, my twins are 10 months old now, and I have reached out to the author, Joe Rawlinson, for advice and to order his twin t-shirts. He is more than happy to help, by giving encouragement and advice, and any help that he can. All in all, you will definitely get great value out of buying this book.

Very easy read. Not a whole lot of rambling yet not a whole lot of information that isn't in any other book about expecting a baby. if you haven't read any books about expecting than this is a great choice for you as a father. However if you are like me and have already read just about every other book that my wife had on the book shelf about expecting before finding this one than your not missing a whole bunch of information by passing on this one.

I read this book while my wife was pregnant with our twin sons and found it very helpful. I reread several chapters throughout the pregnancy and even after the twins were born. They are now almost two, and I can definitely say the months leading up to their birth and the really tough first months afterwards were made a bit easier by having had this book handy.

As a first time dad, and a dad of twins, I was eager to soak up as much information as I could. Like others mentioned, this book does have great tips and ideas when it comes to twins but it is a little more general. There is nothing wrong with that and in my opinion it is a good place to START when you begin your reading.It is a very easy read and took me about a day and half of light reading to make it through which is great.

Having twins is a very different experience than having a singleton. This book was written from a dad's point of view on how to raise twins. My husband found it very helpful to reduce his anxiety over having to manage two babies at once. I scanned through it and the author writes in terms that "regular" people understand. When I was pregnant, there were so many books for women (a lot of them very technical), but not many for men. I would recommend this for any new Twin Daddy.
