If you have any issues that are troubling you (this could include sleeping, feeding, crying, behaviour, discipline or school issues) simply put your question on our Facebook page. Often those who have posted in the Twickenham Twins’ Club Facebook page for support have started a long advice thread with lots of tips!

Homestart – Many parents need help, friendship, advice or support in the early years when their children are young. Sometimes raising a family can be overwhelming, particularly if your family is going through difficult times or if you have twins or triplets. Local charity Home-Start Richmond can help if you have a child or several children under five and are experiencing difficulties. Are you feeling isolated, with no family or friends nearby? Or suffering with post-natal illness but finding it hard to talk to anyone about it? Or struggling to cope with the demands of two babies or toddlers? You could be supported by a volunteer who would visit you at home for a few hours a week to offer emotional and practical help. Last year, Home-Start Richmond’s volunteers helped over 240 families with 544 children in the borough of Richmond upon Thames.
Contact Homestart – 020 8487 8500 or *protected email*. You can also find out more at www.homestart-richmond.org.uk
