Hi, my name is Joe Rawlinson! I’m the dad behind Dad’s Guide to Twins where I’ve helped thousands of twin parents like you prepare for and raise twins through helpful articles, books, podcasts, videos, and more since 2009.
You have concerns about finances, healthy babies (and mom), physically caring for two, getting twins to sleep, and more. You’re not alone. You’ll find answers to your most pressing questions here on this site.
How this all got started…
I have beautiful identical twin daughters. Although they are adorable now, when we found out we were having twins, I was terrified. When our twin girls were born, they joined two brothers and we instantly had four kids ages three and younger.
When we were expecting our twins, I didn’t really find any good resources for fathers of twins. There was lots of information for moms and general info about twins. However, there wasn’t much just for dads.
Thus this site was born so you can learn from my experiences and thrive as a father of twins. You’ll find practical tips, tricks, and advice on preparing for and raising your twins.

Joe,
Your site is extremely helpful!! We are expecting twins later this year so I’m looking for resources everywhere. Its nice to have one site to cover a lot of questions so thanks for setting this up.
Did have a question around your post about changing your withholdings on your W-4. I reached out to my accountant who advised to leave it as is this year but change it next year. Could you explain exactly the benefit of changing the withholding in January this year vs next year?
@Jay – the sooner you change your withholding, the more money you’ll keep from your paycheck. Timing really depends on when your twins will be born. If your twins will be born before the end of this calendar year, take the deduction. But your accountant knows more about your specific situation than I do, so trust them.
My wife is 14 weeks pregnant with twins, our first time out. We’re both excited but she aches all over. She cut her hours at work, helps little, but still fatigued.

My twins are actually kind of ugly. I still love them. Do you have advice for me?
@Heather – keep loving them! They will grow and change significantly in the coming months and years.
