As a proud mum of twins, Tracey Egan knows first-hand just how overwhelming and exhausting having two babies at once can be.
No one prepares parents for the moment when they leave hospital, but what about when they have not just one, but TWO newborn babies?
Drawing on her own personal experience as a mother of twins, It Gets Easier is a comprehensive guide to preparing for the arrival of twins and all the decisions that must be made after the birth.
It Gets Easier contains detailed guidance on everything that parents need to know, from changing nappies and understanding your babies' cries (are they hungry, is it wind or colic?) to knowing the milestones that your babies will reach in their first year (teething, sitting up alone, eating solid food and eventually, crawling).
Packed with plenty of handy tips and advice, It Gets Easier provides the guidance and reassurance that all parents desperately need until it, does, get easier.
