What is the one item you couldn’t do without as a twin mum?

One of my friends announced today that she is 16 weeks pregnant with non identical twins (they won’t find out gender). I’d like to buy her a gift and wondered what you would recommend.

A twin nursing pillow is a must! I use it everyday without fail. Baby swings come in handy too.. and of course nappies/wipes as she will get through a lot

Lots and lots of diapers and wipes!! Some kind of feeding pillow, we used 2 separate boppy pillows as we already had one from our oldest. Not sure if they have the same thing in the UK, but a baby brezza formula maker absolutely saved us during all those night feeds! Oh and if does bottle feed, plenty of bottles, we'd go through like 16 a day btwn the 2 of them!

Perfect prep machine(if bottle feeding), a twin feeding pillow, lots and lots of muslins x

Twin baby boppy pillow and Baby Brezza formula maker is a life saver

Apart from a twin feeding pillow (try to find out their feeding plans as which pillow will depend on bottle/boob). We got lots of Cook vouchers which were a godsend at start and our family friends cooked loads of meals which they boxed up and froze for us so if you're good in the kitchen that would be amazing. Final thought, laundry is so hard with tiny twins especially as ours are Jan babies so weather was rubbish. We got a heated airer + cover from Lakeland and that was a lifesaver too. Boring but very, very useful!

We use our bouncers a lot! We also use the big swaddle blankets/cloths for everything and go through sooooo many in a day - burp cloths, blankets, mats for the ground. A couple things I used a ton when my first got a bit older that I didn't think about when I was as pregnant are those little penguin pacifier toys & the Winkle toy (I felt like those were the best for her hand eye coordination), silicone mesh feeders for when they're teething, baby food blender if they want to try making baby food (maybe that isn't as practical for twins though!), full long sleeved baby bibs

Thanks so much for the replies ladies, didn’t even think of a twin feeding pillow so will look at that and some of the other ideas suggested. Thanks again (so excited for her)
