“I just want to thank you so much for the class ! Not only did the 3 hours fly by, but you absolutely nailed everything we were puzzled about going in. I described you to my friends as “It was as if I had a very cool, very ballsy sister who had twins already and she was imparting her experience on to us with humor and reality.”Laura K., CT

As the pregnant and new mom’s meeting leader for five years with the Manhattan Twins Club, Natalie Diaz has created a series of classes compiling families most asked questions and most common discussions. She includes a variety of opinions in the class, including her own, but she wants families to leave each class knowing the choices they have so THEY can decided which one is best for them.

Twiniversity classes are ideal for:

New families who just found out they are expecting two or more. (The ideal time to take the 101 class is between 24-34 weeks pregnant).
Families who already have a child and are NOW expecting twins and want to know what the differences will be.
Families who have had their twins and need help with figuring out the fine tuning of parenting your kids (sleep schedules, feeding issues, interacting with the twins).
Families who don’t have the time to register and prepare for the children (Twiniversity will register FOR you and help plan your nursery).

(perfect for families who are 24 weeks pregnant and beyond)

This class will cover everything you need to know BEFORE your bundles of joy arrive!

During this three hour lecture, I will highlight all the important information you need to get you well on your way in preparing your home, yourself, and your relationship for the upcoming arrival of your twins including:

What equipment you will need and when (full registry provided)
What help do you really need and how to find it
Cheat Sheets on: Eating for Three, Pediatrician Interview Questions,
Nanny Interview Questions, Dealing with Bed Rest
What to pack for the hospital
Recovering from a C-section
Breastfeeding/bottle feeding tips and tricks for multiples!
Introducing twins to siblings
Preparing your pets for your new arrivals

What you should have in order BEFORE the twinnies arrive
Getting your marriage baby ready
And much more…
