Two of everything 🫣

Expecting twins in December. Should I get them a play gym each or just one? I'm not trying to go over board with two of everything but I'm stuck on this one. Haha. First time mother to be. So I'm clueless.

One gym. One cot if you want, though you’ll likely need a second by 3/4 months unless cosleeping.

Two rockers, two sets of clothes, double pram.

Amazon won’t close overnight after you have them - fine to wait until you need things to buy.

See if there’s a twin club in your area, usually great for preloved clothes, toys etc.

That's such a great point. We really do have the benefit of Amazon and 24 hour supermarkets in most areas.

@Ella31 I wouldn't bother buying things like a play gym yet, especially if the DTs are your first babies. My DCousin was given 7 Play Gyms when she had her first LO Wink

Congratulations - having twins really is the best thing ever. No you don't need two of everything. Two rockers and tow cots essential - most other things they can use one at a time. You can get larger play mats that they can both fit on.

One play gym, two cots, one twin pillow.
Mine have never liked bouncers etc (7m old) so maybe get cheap ones until you know if yours will!

Congratulations

Congratulations-go baby bjorn on fold down bouncy chairs, travel cots and high chairs. Cost a fortune but we resold at 80% of what we paid on eBay several years later. Baby Dan playpen amazing and then folded out to wrap round log burner to keep DCs safe and away from it once walking

You really dont need to double on EVERYTHING, My twins are 4months but they share a play gym. A bouncer each. A nursing ring each or a double if you can get one. Mine are sharing a big cot but now need their own due to wriggling and disturbing each other. Good luck!

Have you got a bit more of a list now @Ella31 Wink
