Care and management of twins.
This is a study of the maternal care of 84 sets of twins in their own homes in Sheffield, compared with random and matched singleton controls funded by the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths. The findings suggest that the stress experienced by parents appears to be related more to the number of children to be cared for than the fact of twinning. The study revealed that twin babies received more health visitor care and less GP care than singleton babies.
