Twin Products You Shouldn't Do Without

As a parent when you find out that you are expecting multiples your whole word gets flipped around. For many of us who have already had children we always wonder if there is something special that we need to get. Do you have to buy two of everything? Is there anything that parents of multiples just can’t live without? Are there any special “tools” out there that will help with the strenuous task of taking care of twins?

As a mother of twin girls I have come up with a list of must haves for parents of multiples. You don’t need to get two of everything, you just need to make sure that you purchase the right items. Things that will just make your life a tad bit easier.

Bosom Baby Twin Nursing PIllow

Some of us have already had children and have breastfed successfully but the very thought of tandem breastfeeding can become very daunting. What kind of tools will you need? Will a regular nursing pillow do? The answer is no. Although when they are newborns you can breastfeed with a regular size nursing pillow, this task will become very hard once they start growing. The Bosom Baby Twin Nursing Pillow is three times as long as the regular nursing pillow and can be used for the long haul.

Bebe Bottle Sling

For those who will not be breastfeeding or those that choose to pump and bottle feed this is the one tool that you will be glad you purchased. Let’s face it, you’re not going to have help all the time and chances are that if one is hungry the other will soon follow. The Bebe Bottle sling is a device that you attach to the car seat and it will support the baby’s bottle for you. Enabling you to feed two babies at the same time. If the bottle ever gets away from the baby it will automatically swing right back into place. You can take turns holding them during feedings and not feel flustered by rush feeding one child because the sibling is up and crying.

Twin Highchair

Before becoming a parent of multiples I had never even heard of a twin highchair. Once finding one I was in love. Surprisingly enough, it took up less room than having two highchairs. It not only helped the twins bond during feeding time but was even used for arts and crafts! This particular model has adjustable legs and the seats are dishwasher safe. Talk about saving time!

A Good Stroller

You will find a wide variety of strollers for twins and deciding whether you want side by side or front and back strollers can be a big decision. None the less make sure that it’s a comfortable one. Umbrella strollers can make it very difficult for babies to be comfortable enough to fall asleep. Make sure that the stroller is easy to maneuver and goes through standard doors easily.

These are just some of the items that I could not live without and as founder of the twin store Stuff 4 Multiples I see parents rave about these items time and time again. I hope you will find them just as useful as we did!
