Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Prenatal Care for Twin Moms: The Tupler Technique

A focused twin-birth episode on diastasis, pushing technique, and abdominal recovery.

Preparing for a twin birth gets a practical, body-aware treatment in this conversation with Julie Tupler, who makes the case that prenatal care can include the abdominal muscles as well as fetal development and birth planning.

Do Prenatal Vitamins Differ for Twin Pregnancies?

A measured guide to twin-prenatal nutrients, where doubling the dose can be the wrong move.

Prenatal vitamins can become a higher-stakes decision when a pregnancy involves twins. Twin Talks moves past the tempting shortcut of simply taking twice as much, with Christine Stewart Fitzgerald bringing lived context from raising identical girls and a singleton girl before…

How Twin Dads Can Help Moms Who Breastfeed

A grounded look at twin feeding, shared workload, and the bonds dads can build in the middle of it.

Breastfeeding twins is framed less as a perfect feeding plan than as a demanding family rhythm, with two hungry newborns needing care again and again through the day.

Annoying Questions People Ask About Twins

A practical, lightly funny guide to handling the public questions twin parents keep hearing.

Twin Talks turns a common twin-parent frustration into something specific and recognizable: the public questions that arrive when infant twins are out in the world.

Fairness and Equality: Treating Twins the Same

A grounded look at why fair treatment can sometimes mean giving twins different things.

Fairness between twins gets tricky once equal treatment begins to flatten real differences in effort, behavior, and need. Twin Talks brings that tension into familiar family moments, from two-year-olds wanting the same cuddle to parents deciding whether rewards should reflect…

Keeping Clothes on Your Toddler Twins

A funny, grounded listen for parents of toddler twins who see clothing as optional.

Toddler twins turn getting dressed into a daily puzzle: the morning can start with clothes on and end with diapers, missing diapers, and outfits scattered around the house.

Where Should My Twins Sleep?

A practical, conversational look at twin sleep, from room-sharing and bassinets to reflux workarounds and the tradeoffs in between.

Baby twin sleep is treated here as a practical problem, not a theory exercise. The discussion moves through cribs, co-sleepers, bassinets, room-sharing, and when two babies should finally sleep apart.

Back to Work After Twins: Finding Flexibility

A grounded conversation about returning to work after twins and making flexibility part of the plan.

Christine Stewart Fitzgerald and Dr. Alessandra Wall treat the return to work after twins as a practical balancing act, especially for parents trying to stay present at home and still earn a living.
