Mount
Sinai Hospital has partnered with Multiple Births Canada to produce an

input from families with multiple-birth children (3 months to 3 years of age)
about what information would be most helpful.
We
are looking for families to join us in this exciting partnership – your input is
very important to ensuring the video will be a success. During these Focus Group sessions, light
