Hey y’all! Here’s a list of our top 10 must-haves from our registry/what we ended up buying after birth for our newborn twins. Hope it helps someone in the same position as us!

1. Weego Twin Carrier– this carrier is meant for 1 person to carry the twins on their chest. It is able to be used with premature babies 4 lbs and up. It works really well when both babies want to be held but you haven’t mastered holding them together.
2. Graco Ready2Grow 2.0 Double Stroller & Snugride Snugfit LX Car Seats/Bases– The Snugfit Snugride Car seats fit perfectly in this double stroller. We got 2 extra bases for our secondary car to allow for easy transfer of the car seats.
3. Twin Z Pillow– Perfect for tandem feeding, even if you are bottle feeding instead of breastfeeding.
4. Diaper Genie– This keeps our nursery smelling fresh and allows us to take out the diapers to the regular trash can after a few days instead of after every diaper change.
5. Snuggle Me Lounger(s)– We purchased 2, but we were able to use just 1 for both babies during the first few weeks after birth. They loved sleeping together during their daytime naps with this lounger.
6. FridaMom Windi– Helps to relieve any trapped gas the baby may have. One of our twins is really, really gassy, and this has helped tremendously.
7. Gerber Flannel Receiving Blankets– We utilized these for basically everything from an actual blanket or swaddle to a headrest for their car seats to prevent their heads from bobbing around. They are so soft and our girls love them!
8. Nanobebe Pacifiers– These were the only pacifiers that one of our girls would use, so we ended up using them for both babies. They fit really well in the contours of their face and don’t seem to affect latching at all.
9. Egg Night Light(s)– These were recommended on TikTok. The brand doesn’t really matter, but the idea of these lights is to have a dimmable light that can be utilized as soft lighting during diaper changes or late night feeds. We have 1 in the nursery and 1 in our bedroom.
10. Dr. Browns Narrow Bottles + Level 1 Nipples– some people have said that the level 1 nipples are too high-flow, but they work great for us! The 4 oz Narrow Dr. Browns bottles work great as breastfed babies shouldn’t take more than 5 oz of breastmilk even as they grow (because the composition of the breast milk changes to be more calorie-dense).

This list is not an all-inclusive list of everything that we are using, it’s just the top 10 products that we would recommend to any new twin parents.

If you are pregnant with twins or in the thick of the newborn trenches, good luck as you continue on your journey!

Stay Golden,
