As facilitator of the New and Expectant Parents support
group, one of the most common questions is 'what should
I register for/what couldn't you live without for
twins?'. I'd love to put together a list for expecting
parents to reference, including all your favorite
products and if you had a different use for them,
include that. Feel free to include as many products as
you want. Thanks for sharing!

For milk supply Medela Symphony
(http://www.medelabreastfeedingus.com/products/223/symphony-breastpump).
I think that is my only really MUST HAVE. Everything
else could be done other ways, but this is really
essential.For newborns I found very useful the Boppy
Newborn Lounger
(http://www.amazon.com/Boppy-4300113K-2PK-Newborn-Lounger/dp/B00AIVNBN4/).
It is great place where to put one baby when holding
the other one.For breastfeeding the Twin Breastfriend,
otherwise I wasn't able to do tandem breastfeeding by
myself. For milk supply Milkmakers Lactation Cookies
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A6WYLIO/).For
keeping record the Baby Tracker. Then there are things,
that I found useful not as twin mother, but as a mother
in general:Baby Vac Nasal Aspirator - for stuffed nose.
Better and more efficient than syringe bulb or Nose
Frida.
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JA1XB2/)Taggies
Blanket - for children 3m
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AFV5E1O/) - They
love it and I didn't know there is such thing.Mesh Crib
Bumper - keeps pacifier and limbs in the crib, but
doesn't carry the SIDS risk
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013ABUQO/)Bundle Me
- keeps baby warm in the stroller
(http://jjcolecollections.com/urban-bundleme)And last
is a pacifier. Within last 6 months I saw plenty of
newborn with soothie pacifier. That thing is crap! I
don't know why they even make it. I haven't seen a
single newborn that was able to keep it in her mouth.
But I saw many parent holding baby in their arms and
holding the soothie pacifier pacifier in newborn's
mouth. We use Gerber First Essentials Soft Center Latex
Pacifier (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005C0KD/)
and the only time when it falls off is when baby falls
asleep or spit it out. So I strongly recommend them or
similar shape. My lactation consultant didn't recommend
NUK pacifiers because of the shape that could spoil the
latch.

I second the Fisher Price Deluxe Healthy Care seats. I
tried some fold up high chairs and you still have to
have a place to put them and hauling them out and
putting them away all the time was a pain.
