Babies on Board
A Special Sub-group for our Expectant MoMss
Shopping
Each month, our Babies on Board members meet with a pair of experienced MoMs for an educational small group
session.  We rotate through four different subjects over four months.  These topics are designed to help MoMs
maintain a healthy pregnancy, prepare for the birth of their multiples, and be prepared for when the babies come
home.  If you are expecting multiples, we hope you join us for the Babies on Board group at each month's meeting.  If
you can't join us, we've included links to websites and documents you might find helpful.
               Preterm Labor & Bedrest
MOMs with experience with Preterm Labor and Bedrest
will teach you how to recognize preterm labor, what to do
if you experience preterm labor, how to handle being on
Bedrest, and what to expect if your twins spend some
time in the NICU.

                         Breastfeeding & Pumping
The statistics say that breastmilk is best for babies, but did you
know that its also best for Mom’s health, cheaper, faster and
easier than formula feeding?  MOMs with experience with
Breastfeeding twins will share how they were able to nurse two
babies at once, and how with a little knowledge and support you
can too!  We'll also discuss bottle feeding, formulas, and
pumping.
