Maternity leave for dads?
Zazazu:
Vcline, with both parents on maternity leave, triplets shouldn't be a problem. Triplet toddlers and a baby's not that bad either. The key is crib stations. Put the cribs in their own little 2x2 rooms. The babies/toddlers don't wake each other up then. Ignore hygeine until they are giving off stink. Store bottles. This consists of queuing up several "Get bottle for X" actions. As soon as they have the bottle from the fridge, cancel the action. They'll drop the bottle. Stick it in inventory. When toddlers get to less than half hunger, just dump the bottle down on the floor in front of them. Mom and Dad can stay in bed. Another important tactic...as soon as babies turn toddler, give them smart milk and sit them on the potty. You want them trained as quickly as possible so that Mom & Dad don't have to supervise.
With three and pregnant Mom, Dad should care for two toddlers and Mom for one.
It's doable, you just have to take the reins. I've had quad toddlers and twin babies before, triplet kids with twin toddlers and triplet babies, and psuedo-septuplet toddlers with one adult (those were intential, the others not).

Or (if you don't mind 'cheating') just use Inge's Bottomless Bottle.
Sagana:
You can use the little dividers instead of walls to make the rooms and the kids still won't wake each other up, even though the parents can walk through it anywhere. Also when you put a kid on the potty to be trained, wait until the adult stands up and just turns away and cancel the action. The kid'll keep training and the parent can go do something else. Training with smart milk in the fall is really fast.

Thanks for all the ideas on how to manage multiple babies. I'll try them out when I get rested up.
