Most of our members join because they were told by other mums they should definitely join the club. That's great, but really, why join?
Some view us as their alternate mother's group because we understand the special challenges and needs of having multiples. It is a safe place for a first time mum to ask any questions such as settling your baby to sleep, sleep training and routines, which paediatrician specialises in what and which doctors are good in the area, where to get help and so much more.
Because we are a community, you meet like minded parents of multiples at events organised by the club for the kids but also for the parents.
It is hard to put into words the power of a community but we hope you now have a better idea.
SUPPORT
At its core, the club could be described as a vast brains trust, parents that have walked the path before us and are able to provide guidance, support and help.
