Plural families

A multiple family is a family that has more than one child born at the same time, i.e. twins, triplets or quadruplets. Even if the family has had single children born later or earlier, multiple births create unique and often acute challenges in everyday life that are different from the logistical challenges of a large family.

Multiple workload from the start

The biggest difference in a multiple family is the multiplication of the workload in a short time. Caring for two or more babies at the same time requires significantly more physical and mental energy than caring for one child:

Synchronization is a challenge: Although care routines are tried to be synchronized, the needs of two or three babies often do not coincide completely. This means that the parent is rarely completely free or rested.

Chronic sleep deprivation: Parents of multiples often suffer from long-term and severe sleep deprivation, as caring for one baby often interrupts the other parent's sleep. Sleep and rest periods are easily insufficient.

Physical strain: Carrying, dressing, and feeding multiple young children is physically demanding, especially if the children are born prematurely and require special care.

Prolonged strain increases the risk of parental burnout, anxiety, and relationship challenges.

Childcare at home: The essence of help

Hiring a childcare or multiple assistant at home is the most effective way to reduce the burden. With help coming to the home, the family gets:

Immediate relief from caregiving: The caregiver can take responsibility for one or more children, giving the other parent the opportunity to focus on the other child, sleep or take care of essential everyday tasks.

Tailored support: Help is available exactly when it is needed most – for example, during rush hours in the morning or at bedtime in the evening, or for night supervision.

Resource optimization: A professional caregiver knows how to support the routines of a multiple family and help the family create functional everyday patterns.
