So far I have 10 baby bottles. 2 packs of diapers, in two different sizes. 4 packs of pampers wipes and 4 packs of huggies wipes. a couple sets of clothes, in different sizes, premature, tiny baby and newborn.
Best baby stroller brands? What do you think is the best double stroller design?
- Depends on the terrain you plan to use the stroller. If you’re planning on going for lots of walks over paths, gravel and grass, Mountain Buggy has a great one. Very sturdy, pneumatic wheels for easy pushing.
- iCandy have an AWESOME looking set up! No idea how great they are in practice. http://www.icandyuk.com/products_detail.php?id=pear_stroller
Are there any cribs that twins can share?
- I’ve heard that the Boori cots are bigger. I’m sure that they could share any cot, until they get a bit bigger. I used to lay my daughter across the cot to start with (this was when I was just wrapping her like a little parcel rather than using blankets.
What colour is good for a babies room? If you do not know the sex of the baby?
- I knew the sex, but chose a neutral colour. I chose green, like a jungle green (Dulux ‘Umbrella Green’). Green is meant to be calming.
Sounds like you have some of the basics set up. Don’t go nuts with the wipes and nappies yet – you may find that your babies have a reaction to one of the brands. Once you know what works, then you can stock up during sales. Huggies wipes are no good for my daughter – instant nappy rash. We like Curash.
We used a set of drawers as a changing area. I keep nappies and other cleaning stuff in the top drawer along with rompers (sleepwear). I think that this is preferable to having a change table with open shelves – baby can’t get to anything in the drawers.

I think light yellow color would be good for room. Other basics are diapers, cloths, blankets, crib, feeding bottles, baby soap, baby powder, changing mat, baby wipes, baby lotion and cream, socks, caps.
i also found swaddling wraps/muslin wraps fantastic, use them to wrap the baby, as a burp cloth, to cover while breastfeeding, cover the pram if sun is in baby’s eyes. I never left the house without a couple handy
Infants generally only see in black and white when they are first born. Many psychologists there for recommend a room to be white with black designs and mobiles. There are self sticking decals that work well for this and can be removed easily as the baby matures.
Me personally I have found with my children a very light pastel green seemed to be very calming for them.
I like safety 1st car seats and strollers. Make sure to check the clasps that go over their chests some are pretty flimsy. Small blankets to wrap them firmly but not too tight in, babies need to feel safe. Breast milk or formula. Plenty of onesies some babies spit up often other dont. Also im a pampers person huggies didnt work for my daughter but love the pampers. Babies grow fast so no need to over due the newborn clothes and most sizes are off. 3-6 months is what we used mostly when he was a month or two old. Everything shrinks!!
