Welcome Your Twins with a Nursery That Works

So you're having twins. There is so much to think about and, well, as a twin Mom myself, I have realized that there was so much that I wish I had when my twins came along. Today I will focus on the NURSERY. Here are some things I didn't think about and wish I had. 

1. If you co-sleep, it will be SO different with twins and your hubby may need to sleep for work the next day. I WISH I had put a bed for ME in the twins' room in case it was a long night along with these little bassinets to keep them safe but close. 

Another thing I wished I had was a nursing chair that was a little wider and without wooden handles to bump their heads on. The truth is, nursing twins takes a lot more work to set them up. Something like this would have been a DREAM!

 

This nursing pillow is something I DID have and I was forever thankful for it. 

 

Other things to think about are that you will need a light for nighttime diaper changes that will not wake both up if one doesn't need a change. A free standing lamp with a remote control is amazing for this. You will also want to be sure you purchase a night time light bulb as these are dimmer and less disruptive to sleep.

You will also want two cribs for them. The ones linked are nice because they will grow with your sweet little one AND they can be placed on any wall. Having one that has one side meant to face a wall may seem nice until you have to arrange a room to fit two babies. It just creates more flexibility in the setup.

The last thing you will want to think about is a dresser and changing table. I used one dresser for both babies to start. Having a dresser that will transition into a normal dresser later is nice. You can put a contoured changing pad on it and have a little diaper organizer that sits on top.  One that spins is nice so you can find everything easily.
