The health benefits of breastfeeding are well known. However, less is known about the frequency and duration of breastfeeding in twins. A population-based study of maternal factors associated with the early cessation of breastfeeding in preterm and term twins is reviewed. This is followed by research reviews and news concerning aging in twins, conjoined twin separation and school legislation for multiple birth children. Twins and quadruplets who have distinguished themselves in the areas of education, fashion design and humanitarian efforts are highlighted.
