6.  Clothing

Two full sets of baby clothing is definitely not essential.  You’ll be doing frequently laundry loads now (sorry, it’s true), so ensuring you have enough gender-neutral basics and a few splashy pieces in rotation works.  The one exception is outdoor clothing.  For that, you’ll need two full sets, including winter coats, shoes, boots, hats, mittens, etc.

7.  Nursing Pillow

What Not to get two of for twins

If you’re considering tandem breastfeeding, this is an easy one to not to get two of for twins.  Simply go for a twin nursing pillow.  The two that are most popular with breastfeeding moms, are the My Breast Friend twin pillow and the Twin Z nursing pillow.  My preference was the twin z pillow, as it provides back support, and doubles as a baby back support (supervised).

8.  Bathtub

What Not to get two of for twins

Two infant bathtubs are definitely not needed.  In fact, many parents claim you can get by without any, though I’ve found infant bathtubs, especially ones that convert into toddler tubs, extraordinarily helpful for slippery little newborns.  The fact is, you’re unlikely to bathe two of them at once.  It’s safer to set up an assembly line and do one after the other, or bathe on alternating evenings if you prefer.  When babies are old enough to sit up, many moms surprisingly find placing a laundry basket in the bathtub to be the easiest option to bathe two at once.

9.  Bouncy Seat

What Not to get two of for twins

While some moms choose to have two bouncy seats to be able to set and carry anywhere in the house, if you choose to purchase any of the other baby holders you might be okay to pass on doubling this item.  Need to grab a quick shower midday?  You can position a bouncy seat or your pack & play in your bathroom to keep an eye on the babes.
