Twin-Essentials!

Being new to the world of twins and life as a twin mom I have found a few things that I CANNOT live without.  I thought I would share a few of those items with you......

This book was recommended while I was pregnant - I had briefly skimmed through it while I was on bed rest.  Boy do I wish I'd actually read it though!  Both my boys starting being very fussy around 4-5 weeks.  Nothing, and I repeat NOTHING would calm them.  I finally watched the DVD on Monday and let me say it was a lifesaver!  I firmly believe in swaddling and the shushing.  If you are pregnant or a new mom (or dad) I highly recommend it.


This next item is by far #1 on my list, My Breastfriend Twins Plus breastfeeding pillow- I have been exclusively breastfeeding the boys since day 1 - and thankfully tandem feeding.  I could not imagine feeding them both at the same time without this pillow.
 The last item on my list is the Snap and Go Double Stroller.  We have the Chicco Key Fit 30 car seats (another highly awesome item) and we were given the matching double stroller.  The Chicco stroller is bulky and heavy right now so I opted for the Snap and Go.  This stroller is extremely simple and much lighter.
