4. Twin Z Pillow

Provide comfort and ease with this nursing pillow, which is ideal for moms of twins. It securely wraps around the mom as she breastfeeds her twins at the same time. Tandem feeding is just one feature this pillow provides. It is great for twins doing tummy time, or if the babies want to rest. As they grow, the pillow can be used to provide extra cushion for the twins as they sit up on their own. The pillow comes with one pillowcase and one travel bag.

5. Drinking Buddies Twin Bib Set

Made of 100% cotton, the twin bib set is perfect for newborns. The soft fabric is gentle on baby’s skin. There are no harsh chemicals used on this set. The same goes for another cute baby shower bib set, with the clever saying “Womb Mates”. Both of these sets are ideal in protecting clothing, including onesie sets, from drool or while feeding.

6. Splashin’kids Inflatable Water Mat

The twins will love having this play mat for tummy time, as they condition their muscles to keep their heads up. Babies can splash and play, without getting wet! Parents can fill the mat with a lot, or a little, amount of water. The water can be drained, in order for the mat to become portable. Toys inside of the mat spark additional sensory development.

One mat may work since it measures just over 2ft in length. More than likely, two will be better to help the twins play on their own mat without one overtaking the solo mat.

7. Angel Dear Cuddle Twin Plush

A cute baby shower gift for twins is a plush gift set designed for the two babies. Angel Dear created a gift set with adorable twin, plush, animal toys. Our favorite are the twin brown monkeys. This set is perfect for giving as a gender-neutral gift. The twin parents love these because the plush animals are machine washable.

8. ANGELBLISS Extra Large Play Yard

Ideal for parents who intend on traveling with their twin babies, an extra-large play yard is essential. Parents have a great view of their twins, playing within the portable yard, in part due to the ingenious layout with the reinforced mesh. To keep the twins and parents safe from harm, the company created a zippered entrance and exit. This prevents parents and babies from getting hurt when lifting the twins in and out of the play yard.

A Day in the Life of a Mom with Twins | A Personal Insight

twins playing and kicking

The events leading up to the arrival of my twin daughters was exciting, overwhelming, and amazing! In October 2010, my husband and I found out that I was four weeks pregnant! The following week, I was rocking the belly band with every ensemble. At the seven-week mark, I found out that I was having twins! I was not the beautiful pregnant woman that you would see images of, modeling maternity clothes.

I resembled more of a pregnant hot mess. Here is a snapshot of what life was like for me, a stay at home mom of twins.  I will share with you the highs and lows, starting with the newborn stage and ending at the one-year mark. In preparation for becoming a twin mom, I mention the items that I used as a twin parent, along with other twin baby essentials that would have been extremely helpful as a twin mama.

A Twin Mom Journey: Newborn to 3 Months Old

Midnight – Newborn to 3 Months Old

The girls finished their bottles and it was time to carry them back upstairs, to their nursery. I changed each of their diapers, swaddled them, and laid them back down into each of their cribs. I wrote down how much they drank and when they were last changed, onto a whiteboard that I had hung up on the nursery door. This way, when my husband came home from work, he would take the 4 a.m. feeding and changing, allowing me to rest until 6 a.m.  

Wished for Items: A small refrigerator and portable bottle warmer. If I had these items upstairs, they would have saved me time from going up and down the stairs.

6 a.m. – Newborn to 3 Months Old

After waking up and checking the baby monitor; I slathered on my belly butter and changed into my comfy maternity clothes. I put on my postpartum belly wrap and met my husband downstairs. We prepped the bottles, popped in a DVD, and went upstairs to get the girls.

8 a.m. – Newborn to 3 Months Old

Diapers were changed and the girls were dressed in their adorable onesies. My husband and I bottle fed our daughters, then he went off to bed. After their feedings, it was time for me to clean and eat breakfast. One by one, I placed the girls in their soft and soothing stationary baby swings.

I took their cloth bibs and tossed them in to the hamper, to be washed with additional cloth bibs and plenty of burp cloths. Heading into the kitchen, I would then clean and sanitize each of their bottles and the rubber nipples. Peaking over at the twins, they would be snoozing away in their swings.

Parenting Twins: 6 Months Old

12 Noon – 6 Months Old

The twins were old enough to keep their heads up by themselves! After prepping their lunch, I would attempt to pick one of the twins up, but she would crawl away. It became a game of chase, all within the confines of our fortress of gates. About 15 minutes later, I would have both girls strapped into their high chairs. Both girls had long bibs, to catch anything that may not have made it into their mouths.

Wished for Item: Two portable booster seats would have been perfect for the times we ate out. At that time, booster seats or highchairs were sticky and gross.

1 p.m. – 6 Months Old

After lunch, it was time to clean. An afternoon bath time was a must, and occasionally happened throughout the week. When the twins were not as messy, wipes were an alternative way of cleaning up both girls. Since they were old enough to sit up by themselves, bath time moved faster than the newborn stage.

Both girls were cleaned up and laying down for their afternoon naps. During their nap times, I would catch up on cleaning around the house and attempted to take a quick shower. They slept about one to two hours before they woke up.

A Day in the Life of a Mom with Twins: from 9 months to 12 months

4 p.m. – 9 Months Old

The twins were pushing themselves up to stand and look out the kitchen window while I put together their afternoon snack. They enjoyed eating their treats out of their snack catchers. Our cats enjoyed following the twins around, as they waited to pounce on any treats that fell on the floor.

6 p.m. – 9 Months Old

Between multiple diaper changings and loads of laundry, it was time for dinner. My husband would leave for work, and it was back to me being outnumbered by the twins. While one girl was safely played in the center of the octagon gates, as I carried the other one up stairs and placed her in her crib. Then, shuffling back downstairs to get my other daughter and carrying her upstairs to get both twins bathed. They enjoyed bath time because they loved playing with the bubbles and their toys.  

 8 p.m. – 12 Months Old

The twins were dressed in their pajamas and ready for bed. I let the girls play, as I hung up their bath towels and rang out the bath water from their washcloths. To calm them down, I kept them on a consistent set of routines and sleep schedule. I read their favorite book, tucked them in with their personalized blankets, turned on their nightlight and sound sleeper, and sang their favorite songs. I kissed them goodnight, and my one-year old twins would fall fast asleep.

how to increase breast milk

Preparing for breastfeeding twins may look overwhelming. Having the right supplies will make it much easier and more comfortable than you may think. Where can you find the necessary items to help make twin feeding times easier? Look no further, as TwinStuff has gathered amazing findings of all things you will want and need!

We asked experienced moms, who breastfed their twins, to tell us what products helped them with feeding their newborns. They provided tips and suggestions for us to research and to pass along the information to you! From breastfeeding to bottle feeding, we have you covered with quality goods to help you stay relaxed while you tandem nurse your twin babies.

Twin Breastfeeding Pillow: Getting Ready

Get ready to breastfeed your twins by thinking of where you will be the most comfortable to nurse your twins at home. Have two, or more, locations in mind. Typically, moms prefer to breastfeed in their bedroom, the nursery, along with the living room. By having designated spaces to nurse your twins, requires having a twin breastfeeding pillow in every room. The last thing that you want to do is to carry pillows and accessories around your home. Here are the top picks of preferred supportive nursing pillows to have on your registry, in anticipation of breastfeeding your newborn twin babies.

Twin Breastfeeding Positions

My Brest Friend Supportive Nursing Pillow for Twins – $69.99

There are plenty of singleton breastfeeding pillows, but there are only a few nursing pillows that provide superb support for moms and her twins. My Brest Friend realized that a quality twin breastfeeding pillow was an in-demand necessity. My Brest Friend nursing pillow helps moms by stopping the need to grab a couple of pillows or blankets and being uncomfortable. Shifting or moving can cause babies to stop nursing earlier than intended.

This nursing pillow for twins will help in preventing fatigue and frustration. The pillow comfortably wraps around you, encouraging you to have better posture. My Brest Friend twin nursing pillow supports your back and neck. As an added bonus, a pocket is built-in to the fabric and is capable of holding water bottles that are perfectly within your reach.  

Twin Z Pillow with Teal Cover and Travel Bag – $129.99

Another option in twin nursing pillows for breastfeeding your babies is the Twin Z pillow. This multi-tasking pillow can be used in six different ways.

Especially for you, it can be used as a pregnancy support pillow to snuggle up with when resting during a much-deserved nap.

Boppy Original Nursing Pillow and Positioner – $39.79

If you do a lot of traveling, and intend to do such after the twins arrive, using a Boppy twin breastfeeding pillow provides comfort to you and your babies when you are away from home. Using a nursing pillow for a single baby can easily work for nursing twins. It will be a bit more cramped, but a Boppy feeding pillow provides ample support for single feedings. If you plan on tandem feeding your twins while traveling, it will require more work from you to hold onto your wiggly babies.

A perk of having a Boppy nursing pillow is that it can provide comfort to friends and family, who are there to help you feed the twins. This is ideal for bottle feedings. On your twin baby gift registry, we recommend that you ask for two Boppy nursing pillows. One for you to use when taking a trip or when at home, and the other pillow to be used by people helping you to bottle feed your precious babies.

Breastfeeding Accessories

Essential accessories to help you in nursing your twins are bottles, burp cloths, pumps, twin-themed bibs, back cushion, nursing stool, lactation supplements, nipple cream, nipple therapy packs, and nursing covers. Here are a few of our favorites that you will want to have. These will make wonderful twin baby gift shower gifts, too.

Baby Carrier and Breastfeeding Cover – $9.99

Babies can get distracted when nursing. Give your babies privacy while breastfeeding with this adorable, multi-functional, cover. Stretchy, breathable, fabric protects your babies when they are in their carriers. They can be used as liners for grocery shopping carts, too! Register for two of these, so that you have one for each of your twin babies.

Organic Burp Cloths – $21.96

Protect clothing by having a burp cloth within reach. Tossing a burp cloth on each shoulder can help to catch any baby spit up that may happen during feedings. Made of 100% organic cotton, this five pack of soft cloths can be placed into the washing machine and reused again.

Organic Nipple Butter Breastfeeding Cream – $11.04

Earth Mama created a cream for dry or cracked nipples. Organic herbs and beeswax create a soothing butter formula for nursing mamas. There is no need to wash off the cream prior to breastfeeding, as it does not contain harmful or synthetic ingredients. You can put some of this cream on your nipples when having to pump.

More About Breastfeeding your Twins

Twin breastfeeding is a special bonding time between you and your babies. Remember to add your favorite twin breastfeeding pillow, set of bottles, twin bibs, twin onesies, and additional necessities onto your twin baby shower registry. You will want to have enough pillows and accessories for any room that you plan on twin feeding your newborns.
