A Contented House with Twins unites the UKs leading baby expert, Gina Ford, and the highly regarded television presenter Alice Beer, a mother of twin girls. Discovering you are expecting twins is both an exciting and a thoroughly terrifying prospect. Within weeks of the arrival of her beautiful daughters, Alice found that she was screaming out for a routine and craving the knowledge of mothers who had been through it with two.

This book is the result of those needs. Alice's front-line experience of coping with twins is combined with Gina's highly successful parenting advice, and, for the first time, her groundbreaking routines, specially adapted for twins. Together, they tackle the practical and emotional aspects of parenting two babies, including: what you can expect in a multiple pregnancy; how to feed two at once; what to do when they each want a different story or both want a hug; and how to cope with everyday practicalities - loading up the car, shopping, bath time, and much more. Alice's humorous insights and Gina's essential advice, tips, support and successful routines will guarantee that parents enjoy their twins and get their lives back.

Gina's practical advice is combined with Alice's first-hand insights to provide an invaluable guide to

• What to expect in a twin pregnancy
• How to establish a healthy feeding and sleeping routine
• How to cope with everyday practicalities including shopping, bathtime and much more!

This is the book Alice was desperate for when her girls were born and is essential reading for parents who want to enjoy their twins and have a contented household too.

About the author

Gina Ford was born and grew up in the Scottish Borders. After studying Hotels and Catering in Edinburgh, she had an opportunity to become a maternity nurse and discovered her flair with babies. Over the course of her career, she has worked with hundreds of families with babies and small children. For twelve years she was one of the most sought-after maternity nurses in the world, and specialised in caring for newborn babies and toddlers with serious sleeping and feeding problems. Gina worked for all kinds of people, from leading lawyers and high-flying bankers to newspaper editors, pop stars and other media personalities.

The techniques, methods and common-sense approach that she developed over the years were so successful and in such demand, that Gina decided to offer her theories, not just to those who were in a position to hire her, but to all families who felt that her methods and routines might help them. In 1999 she published  The Contented Little Baby Book. It was a runaway success, largely due to enthusiastic, word-of-mouth recommendation. Since publication, it has consistently been the best-selling parenting book in the UK, having sold over 500,000 copies to date. Gina has continued to assist parents, adding another 7 books to the Contented Baby & Toddler range
