Predictions for one, two and three $c\\bar c$ pairs production are given for $\\sqrt{s}= 7$ TeV and $\\sqrt{s}= 13$ TeV. Quite large cross sections, of the order of milibarns, for the triple-parton scattering mechanism are obtained. We suggest a measurement of three $D^{0}$ or three $\\bar{D^{0}}$ mesons by the LHCb collaboration. The predicted visible cross sections are of the order of a few nanobarns. The counting rates including $D^{0} \\to K^{-}\\pi^{+}$ branching fractions are also given.
