We had a couple of books/links that people found very unhelpful, and if you could let us know again which those were we would appreciate it very much. We want to save other parents the time of reading those books, and we want to make sure they don't follow bad advice, so please post any you had bad experiences with or felt were inaccurate. Thanks!:friends2

IMO, the book "The No Cry Sleep Solution" is worthless. I bought it thinking it would help me with the twins' night wakings and going to sleep on their own. To me, it was just a waste of time. It basically tells you to keep comforting how you do now, and gradually phase yourself out. It is definitely NOT an easy plan to follow and is very frustrating, especially for the sleep-deprived. You have to keep a sleep log. For that book, I would say don't bother.

Having Twins And More: A Parent's Guide to Multiple Pregnancy, Birth, and Early Childhood (Paperback)
by Elizabeth Noble
Utter crap, and dangerous too. She claims that most of the symptoms of preeclampsia are natural and normal for twin pregnancy. Way to endanger your readers, lady.
