What to Buy for Twins
Starting out you do not need to buy two of everything. For the first couple of months you can even get buy with just one crib. I used a Graco Pack n Play with a bassinet for the first couple of months. You will need LOTS of diapers and baby wipes. A Double Stroller is also a must if you ever want to leave your house. Preferably one that is compatible with your also must have infant baby carriers/car seats. That way you don't have to wake a sleeping baby to take them from the car to the stroller. Bottles, even if you are going to breastfeed; that way you can pump as well. If you need to pump to produce more breast milk, I highly recommend a Hospital grade breast pump, which you can probably rent from your hospital. Also a twin nursing pillow to comfortably feed them at the same time (this is possible). You only need one Baby Tub; and that is not needed right away as you will only sponge bathe your babies until their umbilical cord falls off. It is not necessary to buy baby towels, they dry off great with our towels. Lots of onsies, some baby blankets, Baby nail clippers (so they don't scratch their pretty little faces or each other) And if you can afford it, hire a house cleaner once a week or every other week. This would be nice even during the second half of your pregnancy as it gets hard to do everything. I think I covered the must haves, if I forgot something feel free to add it in the comments below.
