🤰 Twin Pregnancy
Such a lifesaver as your bump gets bigger! 🤰 Gives your belly and lower back some extra support and can make walking, standing and everyday movement a little more comfortable. Especially handy when you’re carrying twins.
Belly Belts
A beautiful way to document the twin pregnancy — especially all the little milestones, scans, feelings and moments you’ll want to remember. 💕 With twins, there’s so much happening at once, so having it all in one place makes this extra special.
Twins Pregnancy Journal - Etsy Australia
One of those things you’ll be VERY glad you packed early! 👜 Especially with twins, having everything organised and ready to grab makes the lead-up to birth so much less stressful. I’d pack yours well before you think you need to.
Baby Hospital Bag Essential | Baby Bunting AU
Comfort becomes EVERYTHING with a twin bump. 🤰 Look for maternity leggings with a soft, supportive waistband that grows with you without digging in. Great for everyday wear when your belly starts getting seriously big.
Maternity Leggings & Pregnancy Tights
A twin mum essential! 🙌 Makes feeding and cuddling two babies at once so much easier, and the raised sides help keep both babies supported and secure. Great for bottle feeding too.
Twin Z The Pillow - Grey - Cuddle Grey DOTS
🏥 Birth & Hospital
The sweetest little outfits for bringing your twins home. 🥹💕 Go for soft, comfortable newborn pieces that are easy to get on and off — especially after those first few days in hospital.
Coming Home Outfits - Newborn Take Home Clothing
A big-ticket essential when you’re preparing for twins. 🚗💕 I love a convertible seat because it grows with your baby, meaning you can get much more use out of it as they get bigger. With two babies, choosing something practical and long-lasting can...
Award Winning Convertible Car Seats By Maxi-Cosi
A really handy support pillow for feeding twins. 🍼💕 It helps bring both babies up to a comfortable position while taking some of the strain off your arms, shoulders and back. Even if you’re bottle feeding, the extra support can be a lifesaver.
Nursing Pillows
Don’t underestimate this one! 💧 Keep a big water bottle with a straw beside you while feeding, recovering and caring for two babies. Having a straw means you can drink one-handed without having to stop what you’re doing.
Large Water Bottle With Straw
Comfortable pyjamas are a hospital bag essential for me. 🥰 Look for something soft, loose and easy to get on and off — especially if you’re recovering from a C-section or getting up for feeds throughout the night.
Papinelle Sleepwear AU | Beautiful Sleepwear & Pyjamas ...
Your body needs care too. ❤️ I’d stock up on a few post-birth recovery essentials before the twins arrive — especially because you’ll be recovering while looking after two newborns. Having them ready at home means one less thing to worry about when y...
Postpartum Recovery Kits
🍼 Feeding Two
If you’re expecting twins, a dedicated twin feeding pillow can make feeding two babies at once SO much easier. 🍼🍼 It gives both babies support while helping take the pressure off your arms, shoulders and back.
Twin Feeding Pillow - 1 cover included
These were on my twin-prep list because two babies can mean double the gassy, unsettled moments. 🍼🍼 The anti-colic design is made to help reduce air swallowing during feeds — worth having on hand, especially for those early newborn weeks.
Buy Tommee Tippee online at Chemist Warehouse
With twins, sterilising bottles quickly becomes a multiple-times-a-day job. This makes it so much easier to keep bottles and feeding equipment clean and ready for the next feed — a definite time-saver when you’ve got two hungry newborns. 🍼🍼
Tommee Tippee UV Steriliser & Dryer
If you’re formula feeding twins, this can be a serious sanity saver. 🍼🍼 It measures, mixes and dispenses formula at the push of a button, making those middle-of-the-night feeds so much easier when you’re already exhausted.
Formula Pro Advanced Formula Dispenser
Believe it or not, we didn’t even own a microwave before the twins! 😂 Once they arrived, having one became surprisingly useful for those moments when you’re juggling two babies and need to heat something quickly. A total “why didn’t we have one soon...
Shop Microwaves
We actually use both this and our Tommee Tippee steriliser. 🍼🍼 The microwave steriliser is great when we need a quick extra batch of bottles, while the TT steriliser handles the bigger workload. With twins, having both has been really handy!
Shop Microwave Bottle Sterilisers
We say “twice blessed” around here, but still… these are too fun! 😂💕 A cute little twin extra that makes those inevitable messy feeds a bit more entertaining.
'Double Trouble' Set of Baby Bibs for Twins
I bought so many of these and have basically been living in them! 😂 They’re comfortable, easy to layer and so handy during pregnancy and postpartum — especially for feeding and those days when comfort is the only priority.
Maternity Cami
A small thing that makes a BIG difference with twins. 🍼🍼 When you’re constantly washing and sterilising bottles, having a dedicated place for everything to dry keeps the bench organised and stops bottles and parts taking over the kitchen!
Silicone Drying Rack
SO useful with twins! 🍼🍼 When you’re feeding, changing and settling two babies around the clock, it’s surprisingly easy to forget who did what. This app helped us keep track of feeds, bottles, nappies and sleep without relying on my very sleep-depr...

💤 Sleep & Newborn Life
Having the twins right beside us in those early weeks was so helpful. 🥹💕 A bedside sleeper makes those endless night feeds and check-ins that little bit easier — especially when you’re doing everything twice!
Bassinets & Bedside Sleeper Furniture
These have been a favourite for keeping the twins comfortable and cosy without loose blankets. 🥹💕 Having a few sizes ready as they grow means you’re not constantly scrambling for the next one — and with twins, you’ll want two of everything!
Baby Sleeping Bags & Sleep Sacks (3, 6 & 12 Months)
These made those early newborn days so much easier. 🥹💕 A simple zip-up swaddle means less wrestling with blankets at 3am — and when you’ve got two babies to settle, anything that makes bedtime quicker is a win! 🍼🍼
Cocoon Swaddle Bags
Another twin essential for us. 🤍 With two babies making two sets of noises, white noise has been so helpful for creating a consistent sleep environment and drowning out some of the everyday sounds around them. One of those things I’d definitely have...
Shop White Noise Machine Online
Having two cameras for two babies just makes sense! 👶🏼👶🏼 Being able to keep an eye on each twin from one monitor is so reassuring — especially during those early days when you’re constantly checking on them.
Babysense HD S2: Video Baby Monitor with 2 Cameras ...
Buy the ones with the zips! 😂 With twins, you’ll be changing two tiny humans constantly, so anything that makes a 3am outfit change quicker is a winner. Soft, comfy and easy to get on and off — we lived in these newborn days.
Newborn & Toddler Onesies - Zippys
Buy more than you think you need. 😂 With twins, these get used constantly — feeding, burping, dribbles, spit-ups… and somehow they’re always disappearing. A big pack like this is one of those practical purchases you’ll be very glad you made. 🍼🍼
Comfy Cubs Muslin Burp Cloths 20x10 10 Pack
The zip is everything! 😂 With two newborns and countless outfit changes, these made life SO much easier. Soft, comfy and quick to get on and off — especially for those middle-of-the-night changes. 🍼🍼

🧺 Organisation & Getting Out
A nappy caddy is a must with twins! 🍼🍼 I love being able to keep nappies, wipes, creams and all the little essentials together and move everything from room to room. Because with two babies, you’ll be changing them everywhere! 😂
Teddy Nappy Caddy- Nude- Large Side Pocket
Another one I’d absolutely recommend with twins. 🍼🍼 Having a clean, portable surface for changes makes life so much easier when you’re out and about — and when you’re changing two babies, you’ll be doing it A LOT! 😂
Premium Portable Change Mats
Home or away, this has been so handy with twins! 👶🏼👶🏼 It gives them a cosy little space to lie together, and it’s great for supervised tummy time too. Perfect for moving from room to room or taking with you when you’re out and about. 💕
Portable Baby Bed
If you’re having twins, this is the pram I’d have at the top of your list. 👶🏼👶🏼💕 The side-by-side design means both babies get their own space, right beside each other, while you can still see and interact with them.
It’s only 74cm wide, so it’...
Shop Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin
Having two babies doesn’t mean you always need two arms! 😂💕 A twin carrier can be a lifesaver when you need to keep both babies close while still having your hands free. Perfect for around the house, quick trips out or when the pram just isn’t prac...
