Multiple Births

Did you know that 1 in every 65 pregnancies results in a multiple birth? 

In this episode of Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between we spoke to Shauna Leven, CEO of Twins Trust about:  


  • Her role at Twins Trust and what the charity does for parents of multiples. 
  • The pram chat (it had to be done!). This is certainly a topic which we know so many parents and carers of multiples agonise over! 
  • Parental judgement and how being a parent of twins actually made this easier for Shauna to ignore! 
  • The challenges of having more than one baby at once as well as what’s great about having twins, triplets or more. 
  • What’s at the top of Shauna’s Twins Trust ‘to do’ list and what makes her proud in terms of the work Twins Trust are doing. 
  • Shauna’s 4 top tips for multiple parents.  
  • And finally, where to find information and resources from Twins Trust.

Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here! The perfect parent doesn't exist, but in their family consultancy business Bespoke Family, Becks and Claire believe that a child centred approach which recognises and respects individuality is the best way to enable families to thrive. Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
