OK give me the list of "what to get" from scratch ladies!

marrymemylove

Just assume I know nothing from having DS. Tell me everything I need to get for the twins for the first few months.

I'd like to get an impartial opinion....or three.

Honestly, I hated getting 2 of everything so we had:

1 tandum stroller and one sbs stroller (I used one and MIL used one)

2 umbrella strollers (DH and I would walk places with the boys and this helped when I would take the kids on errands with just one of them)

1 bouncy seat (I borrowed from MIL)

1 bathtub for infant/ 2 seats for when they could sit (I borrowed the bathtub and bought 1 seat from my MOM's club)

2 cribs

2 highchairs

1 exercauser

1 bounce-a-roo

washclothes/towels (I used washclothes as burpclothes as well)

sheets and blankets (We chose to not get matchy sets, just sheets and blankets)

recieving blankets

premiee, newborn, 0-3, etc onsies

premie, newborn, etc footed jammies

premiee, etc, clothes

diapers!  I wouldn't stock up since you aren't going to know what size the babies will be at birth

The website twinstuff.com has a great twin essentials list in their Expecting Moms forum. That's what I used as the basis for my registry.

Here is a list of what I had:

2 infant carseats

2 cribs

changing table

2 bouncy seats

1 swing (my girls weren't that into it so we never got another)

2 Pack N Plays

Double Snap N Go

SBS stroller (Bumbleride indie twin)

Light SBS stroller (we didn't get this until they were 4 months old when we switched them to convertible carseats)

2 convertible carseats

2 highchairs

2 boppies (I give them their bottles in those)

infant bathtub

2 bumbo chairs

excersaucer

jumperoo

receiving blankets (we needed about 8, but had many more)

diapers (we had a box of N and a box of size 1, but mostly bought them when girls were born)

wipes

swaddle blankets (you will need no more than 4, we had 10 which was entirely too many)

bottles (I would recommend enough to only do dishes once a day:16 small ones and 8 bigger ones)

formula mixing pitcher (I had this and it was the best product ever -- I had a Dr Brown's one, actually 2, and you just make formula for the day once and leave it in the fridge, and pour into bottles as needed)

bottle warmer (we had one by Avent)

towels?

burp cloths (you can never have too many -- we use gerber cloth diapers for this)

bibs?

a bunch of other small things I can't think of like a thermometer?
