Newborn Twins MVPs!!

items Having twins is an entirely different experience from having a single baby, down to the gear. Here’s what worked for us!
A travel system was a lifesaver for us! Our babies actually nap in the car (unlike when just at home🫠), so I can’t imagine risking that by getting them out of their car seats when we reach our destination. We went with Chicco because it had good rev...
Chicco Cortina Together Double Stroller, Black
Highly rated by parents and for safety, compatible with a travel system, not unreasonably expensive. It checked all our boxes and did not disappoint.

Simmons Kids By The Bed City Sleeper Bassinet for Twins - Adjustable Height Portable Crib with Wheels & Airflow Mesh, Grey Tweed
If you are formula feeding your twins, you’re gonna use a lot of formula. Simple as that. Don’t make it harder for yourself by making it one bottle at a time. Make a big batch and keep it in the fridge to make bottle-making faster. Formula is good in...
Dr. Brown's Baby Formula Mixing Pitcher, Adjustable Stopper/Locking Lid/No-Drip Spout, Blue 36oz, 1 Pack
These are so great to have in the diaper bag for an impromptu feed! Also, I’m 100% guilty of using one of these to top off a bottle at home if we empty the formula pitcher and are still around 1-2 oz short of full bottles to avoid having to make a wh...
Similac 360 Total Care Infant Formula, Ready-to-Feed, 2-fl-oz (Case of 12)
The Twin Z pillow is wildly popular and, don’t get me wrong, it has its uses. We had one. But honestly what we found more useful was TWO of the regular Boppy-style nursing pillows. When both parents are available, they can each take a pillow to feed ...
ESEN Baby Nursing Pillow & Body Positioner (Pink)
Saving you time and your sanity!! Also, I washed my hands so much in the first 6 months of my girls’ lives that my hands were constantly cracking and peeling and hurting so much. This saved me from even more water and soap exposure. Great for bottles...

Comfy Cubs Muslin Burp Cloths 20x10 10pk
What’s harder than trying to put a baby to sleep? Trying to put 2 babies to sleep. Don’t waste time with the blanket swaddles that you have to work like a pretzel and will probably come undone in the night. The Velcro on these swaddles is such a time...
