[quote=Anonymous]Yes, we sometimes have the new parent hubris.  We have 5 mo twins and I know that a lot of parents of older kids probably roll their eyes behind our backs because of it.  Some of it is research, but sometimes I take on that air of experience because for several months up to the birth we joined our local multiples club and spent a lot of time, getting a whole bunchy of experience from couples who had twins or triplets ranging from infants to adults with children of their own (there was one family where the grandmother had twins and her daughter (not one of the twins) was also a member because she had adolescent twins of her own).  We also got a lot of good feedback from the staff of the NICU where our kids were born.  They gave us the benefit of their many years and many babies experiences.  So with all of those experiences behind me, we sometimes sound more sure that we are based on our own experiences.  I know that doesn't make me an expert, just a amateur with a lot of guidance, but it does make me more confident sometimes in how I talk.

We also know VERY WELL, how every child is different.  I try very much to go with the philosophy of "this worked for us, but there are many other things that work for other children".  Since our twins are very, very different in most things, I'm well aware that there is rarely a one-solution-fits-all.[/quote]
