Older ones. We’re not all about babies and toddlers here at Tamba. So we couldn’t have an A-Z without celebrating our awesome teenage and older multiples families too. If your twins, triplets and more are in secondary school or older, visit this page here for support.
Preparing. If you’re new to Tamba, chances are it’s because you’ve just found out you’re expecting twins, triplets or more. Congratulations! Any multiples parent will tell you that being prepared is key. Try our Practical Preparing For Parenthood class or webinar for tips and ideas.
Quads. If you’re in the Quad Squad you’re in a very exclusive gang. There are usually only about two sets of quads born every year in the UK, although in 2016 there were FIVE in England and Wales. Download our factsheet we designed especially for our triplets, quads and more families.
Research. We know that investing in the right pieces of research can save lives. We have ambitious plans, but if we think big, we can achieve big. Find out more about our projects here.
Support. Tamba has an incredible team of supporters including our Twinline listeners, honorary consultants, breastfeeding peer supporters and more. You can find out about our support services here.
Turtley awesome! Well, we couldn’t narrow it down to either “twins” or “triplets” could we? There’d be a riot! So instead, T stands for Turtley.
Underwear. And socks. And PE kit. And basically all the laundry that never seems to get done.
Volunteers. We simply couldn’t keep going without the great support we receive from volunteers who spend their free time (what free time?) training for marathons, organising cake sales and generally being amazing to raise money for Tamba. If you want to tell us about your fundraising, or you’re stuck for ideas and need help, email [email protected]. Need inspiration? Click here.
Work. And more importantly, leaving work for maternity leave. Did you know you may qualify for a Sure Start Maternity Grant? This page also has handy information and videos on maternity allowance and statutory maternity pay.
Xtra help. (Okay, we cheated). One of the top tips we hear time and time again from our parents is “if you’re offered help, accept it”. Multiples are a joy, but they can be a handful at times. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. We have more amazing tips in this blog post.
Yearn. When our multiples are around we yearn for peace and quiet, for a tidy house, for no arguing and for a hot cup of tea. But when we’re apart from them, we yearn to have them back again.
Zzzzzzz. Our sleep. Their sleep. Sleep in general. If you have questions about sleep, visit our 0-12 months page here or one year plus page here.
