Support for Multiple Birth Families: Recognising Twins, Funding Gaps & More | AMBA’s Silje Andersen-Cooke

Dwóh Enterprises — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 11:02:00 +1100

If you're a family with twins, triplets or in the community - this might be one of the most important episodes. We’re joined by Silje Andersen-Cooke - lawyer, triplet mum, and National Chair of the Australian Multiple Births Association (AMBA). Silje shares her personal triplet journey and why she’s now one of Australia’s loudest advocates for twins, triplets and higher-order multiples, pushing for equal government funding, consistent medical care, and real support for families navigating high-risk pregnancy, NICU, childcare and school systems.

Whilst this is Australia focused, the same issues are globally relevant. We hope this helps all our listeners become more educated, and advocate for a "fair go" in every country.

We will unpack why twins still aren’t officially not recognised as a “multiple birth”..(!!) in Australia, how this impacts parental leave, healthcare access and cost of living, and why support for multiples has actually gone backwards since the 1970s. Silje also explains what AMBA does, how they support families nationwide.

This episode covers:

👶 The journey to surprise triplets (+ 1)
✨ What is AMBA
🏥 The Gaps: Twin & triplet pregnancy, birth, NICU, and family support
⚖️ Why twins are NOT recognised as a “multiple birth” in Australia...
💰 Advocating for equal government funding for multiples (a fair return on tax dollars versus single births)
🧸 The challenges with childcare access for twins & triplets
🏫 Multiples in school (together or seperate?) - why parents should decide, not policies
📉 How support has gone backwards since the 1970s
🌏 Countries leading global best practice for twins & triplets - why their policies work
🤝 What AMBA does, how they support families, and how YOU can help drive change

Essential listening for current OR expecting twins, triplets parents and practitioners supporting high-risk multiple births.

Nutrition in Twin & Triplet Pregnancy, Postpartum Recovery & Milk Supply - Twin Plus Founder Sarah Meacham

Dwóh Enterprises — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 09:33:00 +1000

How do you avoid nutrition-related twin+ pregnancy symptoms, mama health issues or baby health issues because your specialist simply doesn't know how to guide twin+ parents? Currently, many twin+ parents would be oblivious because national nutrition guidelines are... missing!!

We sat down with Sarah Meacham, twin mum (+1), certified fertility dietitian, credentialed eating disorder dietitian, and founder of Twin Plus - "the first of its kind nutrition platform" built specifically for twin, triplet+ families and their babies, from pregnancy through postpartum. Sarah shares how her own twins journey exposed the lack of tailored support for multiples parents, why generic pregnancy advice simply doesn’t cut it, and how Twin Plus is changing outcomes through evidence-based nutrition, realistic guidance, and deep compassion. We talk body recovery, milk supply, mental health, nourishing exhausted parents, and what’s next as Sarah builds a future where multiples families finally get the specialised care they deserve.
