Multiples

Lately there are lots of multiples....twins, triplets, quads, and more. They share the wealth of what should been the bounty of one baby. So nurseries see these babies quite a bit now. I guess I don't blame the families. They have tried so hard to have any baby. When they get flocks of children they feel very blessed. They cope wth their feelings from infertility and now with an abundance of babies. These babies can have lots of problems: apnea/bradycardia/cyanosis, prematurity, growth/develpment, nutrtion, and parent attachment. It is not any easy road to hoe for anyone. Our parents go through so much. How we deal with all of it will have such long time outcomes for the baby, parents, and society?
