Abstract	The explosion in the rate of multiple births has led to new questions about how adequately prepared parents are for the demands of raising triplets and the implications for the healthy development of the infants. The authors examined the relationship between mothering, infant social behavior, and cognitive development in a longitudinal study of 23 sets of triplets who were matched along a variety of demographic features with a singleton and a twin set. The children were assessed in both their homes and in the laboratory setting at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months, using detailed videotaping and computer coding systems to evaluate mother-child interaction and individual mother and infant behaviors and skills. The results revealed a striking lack of synchrony between mothers and their triplets, as well as lower scores on social interaction and cognitive skills in the triplet children when compared with twins and singletons.
