[Tips and advice for twins' parents].
The number of twins has been increasing for 20 years. The specific difficulties associated with raising twins have been well identified. As from the preparation for labor, it is essential to advise families on the help that is available to them (specialists, associations etc.) to anticipate the material and psychological difficulties families, and especially mothers, will face. These children and their families should be monitored so than they can be best advised at the various steps in providing care to and raising twins.
