hi there.
i am expecting twins in June/09 and wondering what to get before the delivery to welcome babies.

thinking to get twin stoller, baby bath, babybed etc...
but to be honest, i have no idea what to buy....

could any twin parents advice me what to get before the delivery???

Thank you so much!!:thanks
 
first off, what one person loves, another might find useless.

a lot will depend on breast vs bottle feeding but generally:

onesies
crib/cot/bassinet (whatever it is you want the babies to sleep in)
bedding
nappies

those are the ONLY ESSENTIALS.

however, you may also wish to get:
breastfeeding pillow
bottles
steriliser
pacifiers
baby bath (you can actually bathe babies in the regular bath or even the kitchen sink, you don't really need a bath for htem)
change table (a bed, sofa, or even the floor can work just as well)
bouncy chair/swing
baby powder
soft sponge for cleaning
thermometer (better to have one before you need it)
cotton balls
wet wipes
nursing tops (for you)
nursing bras (for you)
bra pads
maternity pads
some kind of blankets/sheets/wraps
sling
carseats
stroller (that lay flat for babies)

newborns don't really need toys... they may find something interesting by the time they get to 3 months or so.
 
wow! thank you, carang! thats very useful and amazing!!
there are so many things to get but seems like it really depends on our environment - house layout etc...
will consider about all the iteams you raised with my husband and examine at maternity shops!

anyway, thank you so much!!
 
thank you Frenchy.

ok, i will visit the website too.

it is so nice to find the help here in HK especially for me - not from local.... thanks!!

Hello
I've not been around for a while as my twins came early! They were born on 27th Dec at 31 weeks and 6 days weighing 1.6 and 1.9Kg. Both are doing really well our little girl came home at 35 weeks and our boy at 38 weeks.
In response to this thread we opted not to buy a twin buggy. When I'm out on my own I have a quinny zapp and a maxi cosy car seat and a baby bjorn - this is working really well for me and means I'm not housebound!
