What Parents of Multiples and Singleton Parents Can Learn From Each Other with Natalie Diaz

In today’s episode of The Gentle Parenting Podcast Kim sits down with her long-time friend Natalie Diaz. Natalie is the founder of Twiniversity - the world’s leading resource and support network for multiple birth families. Natalie is also an author, Certified Lactation Consultant and a twin parent herself. She has helped hundreds of parents of multiples prepare for and handle life with multiples.

Today, Kim and Natalie discuss what parents of multiples and singletons can learn from each other. They discuss:

• Preparing for birth and the newborn weeks
• Sleep training multiples, singletons and siblings 
• Advocating for yourself and your child(ren) at birth 
• Working with your partner to make sure you both are feeling support

Natalie gives amazing, specific, questions for you and your partner to discuss pre and post-birth and throughout your parenting journey. You won’t want to miss these discussion points! Two of our favorite quotes from this episode are:

“It’s important that parents of twins realize that just because they’re twins, doesn’t mean they’re two of the same person” and  “It’s better to overreact 100% of the time than to underreact once”.
