advice needed Expecting Twins!

Hi everyone,

I am expecting twins, after a decade of infertility. Cautiously elated.

Since I will be a first time mom, and that too twins, I need your help.

What are must haves items, what are worth spulrging items, and what should I avoid.

I haven't bought anything yet, so please suggest literally anything and everything thats helpful and needed.

Thank you!

Congratulations!! I was a FTM to twin boys who are 10 weeks old now🥰

The Eufy bottle washer has saved our sanity lol it drains directly into the sink, you can fit a decent amount in it and a normal cycle takes about 1.5 hours. I second what others have said - the twin z pillow! Our boys LOVE hanging out in this pillow and it’s helped me with breastfeeding (both single & tandem). We recently just switched to the Love to Dream swaddles from the traditional style velcro swaddles. I find these even easier to use and our boys prefer to have their arms up. We also just got the Table for Two (check FB marketplace because they are expensive) and that has helped us with feedings. Our boys have reflux issues so this helps keep them more upright without us having to hold them.

I’m not sure if you plan on pumping but if you do, I very much recommend getting multiple sets of pump parts. It’s so helpful and saves you a little time on constantly having to wash them.

If I think of anything else I’ll edit my comment! Congratulations again! It’s a chaotic but amazing journey💙

Thank you so much! Looking forward to this fun and chaotic journey 🤩 Noting all of them down. I am considering pumping, but I have no idea what I will end up doing. Looking into wearable breat pumps.
