You know that you’ll need a lot of stuff to be ready for twins.
Once your twins arrive, the last thing that you’ll want to do — or have time to do — is go to the store.
The solution?
Stock up on everything.
“Everything” consists of two categories: stuff your twins will use daily and things that the rest of the family will consume.
Things for the Twins
Stockpiling a little bit here and there will be less of a shock for your budget later.
In addition to all the reusable baby gear that you’ll need (strollers, clothing, cribs, etc.), you’ll need to stock supplies that your babies will use (and use up) on a daily basis:
- diapers of all sizes
- baby wipes
- burp cloths
- baby formula
- bottles and nipples
- Desitin or another zinc oxide diaper rash cream
- baby body wash/shampoo
Things for the Household
When you think about the household items you use everyday, you’ll get an idea of the little things that you need to have stocked up for when the twins come:
- toilet paper
- paper towels
- soap
- dish washing detergent
- shampoo
- deodorant
- toothpaste
- laundry detergent
- dryer sheets
These are things you don’t want to worry about for a least a month after the twins arrive.
Stock your freezer. Remember, you can tell your friends you want a freezer meal shower.
If you have a stockpile of supplies by the time you hit the third trimester with your twins, you can relax a little as you enjoy the calm before the storm.
What other essential items would you add to the list to stockpile in your home?
