Twin Talk
Twin Talk - for parents and carers of twins and other multiples has been jointly produced with Tamba (The Twins and Multiple Birth Association). It provides information and tips to equip parents for developing their babies' speech and communication.
There are over 11,000 multiple births each year in the UK. According to Tamba, about one in every 30 births involves twins. The rise is attributed to the use of fertility treatments as well as the increased survival rates of premature babies and women starting their families later.
