multiples feel special eeing two or more babies on an ultrasound Scan change the lives of parents in many happy ways. Twin and multiple births have been on the rise, thanks in part to a number of factors, including couples’ willingness to undergo various fertility treatments to improve their pregnancy odds. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 135,336 twins were born in the United States in 2014, the most recent year on record. Multiples can sometimes lose their identities when they are broadly referred to among family and friends as “the twins” or “the triplets.” But all children, whether they shared a womb or a home, are unique, and it’s important that parents treat them as such. • Rather than focusing on multiples’ similarities, celebrate their differences. This can help them develop their unique talents and personalities. • Let multiples express their individual style rather than dressing them in the same clothes. • For identical multiples, clue others in to recognizeable features that distinguish them from one another. • Plan special days when multiples have alone time with friends or family members. This way they do not have to always do things jointly. • Avoid comparing multiples as much as possible so jealousy and rivalry does not become an issue. • Purchase separate birthday cards, cakes and items that cater to multiples’ desires. • Define multiples by who they are rather than their twinhood (or triplethood).

One of the more perplexing problems new moms and dads may experience is colic. The Mayo Clinic defines colic as frequent, pro- longed and intense crying and fussiness in a healthy infant. Colic is such a frustrating enigma because the distress has no apparent cause and parents are often helpless as they try to soothe and comfort their sud- denly fussy children. Colic was first extensively studied by Dr. Morris Wessel, an American pediatrician who in the 1950s offered the first widely accepted definition of colic. According to Dr. Wessel’s criteria, about one in four babies develops colic, which typically peaks around six to eight weeks after birth. The American Pregnan- cy Association notes that 50 percent of colic cases end around three months, and 90 percent are gone by the time the child reaches nine months of age. Symptoms of colic Learning to recognize the signs of colic can help parents determine if their child is colicky or perhaps dealing with an illness or condition that is more seri- ous and requires medical attention. The Mayo Clinic notes that the following are some features of colic: • Intense crying that may seem more like screaming or an expression of pain. • Crying for no apparent reason.
