Have you been to one of our Connect & Play groups? They aren't your usual playgroups - the vast majority are run by parent volunteers and don't have structured activities. Instead they focus on parents connecting and building a support network; so no matter how young your babies are it's worth the effort.
No need for MBSA membership or to RSVP, just come along!
Details of these groups which run across the State can be found on our website: https://www.multiplebirthsa.org.au/services/multiple-birth-groups/

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁!
Contrary to popular belief, sleep consultants don't generally advocate for 'cry it out'. Instead, they work with you and your family to nurture the needs of your multiples while fostering healthy sleep habits.
MBSA members get 15% off with the Comprehensive Support Package and she doesn’t charge extra for multiples across her range of packages.
In addition, MBSA members get free access to her set of three multiple birth specific webinars that cover sleeping topics for newborns and children up to four year olds. These sessions normally cost $39 each and are a great starting point to better understand your children's sleep needs.💤

Have you heard about our ℍ𝕠𝕞𝕖 ℍ𝕖𝕝𝕡 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕧𝕚𝕔𝕖?
This service supports South Australian families with twins, triplets or more under the age of 12 months (corrected age), by providing weekly home visits from caring professionals.

Breastfeeding is such a difficult topic for so many mums, and especially for mums of multiples.

This World Breastfeeding Week the theme is “breastfeeding support for all”. In Australia, 1 in 5 mums of multiples said they felt very underprepared to breastfeed. It’s clear that multiple birth families need more specific breastfeeding and support services in Australia and we continue to advocate for this 💪

We are proud that so many of our local multiple birth clubs have volunteers who provide breastfeeding support or can help new mums of multiples find the local support they need.

Did you know that there are free multiple birth specific antenatal classes in Adelaide? The Women's and Children's and the Lyell McEwin run them monthly/quarterly and they are a great way to get an introduction to the multiple birth journey. As multiples are often born early we recommend booking in by 30 weeks gestation. These classes are run by the hospitals, not MBSA, so you'll need to contact them directly for more information and to book. Check out the details on our website: https://www.multiplebirthsa.org.au/ser.../antenatal-classes/
