Papamoa's Melanie Lewis said everything has changed since the arrival of her triplets, Bella, Chloe and Elsie, six months ago.
The three identical triplets will be half a year old on January 5.
They have just started enjoying solid foods and sleeping through the night, Mrs Lewis said. "The last few months have been a whirlwind and (we are) so busy but they have been really good babies. No colic, no reflux, good feeds and good sleepers."
However, she said having three babies at the same age has given her a whole new perception of what being busy with a baby means.
Ms Lewis said she has been overwhelmed with the help and support from family, friends and community members. "Right from the start there has been kindness from strangers. People just want to help out."
