Moms of twins: gift ideas please

papie

My cousin and his wife are expecting boy/girl twins in april.  They also have a 2yo girl.  Cousin's wife is SAHM with little help from her husband, who owns a restaurant and works a lot.  She is planning to EBF if possible.

What should I buy her? She isn't registered since it is her second pregnancy.  I was thinking of maybe a baby carrier? (Can you carry twins? Or is it useful for twins? I'm unsure about the logistics).  

What gifts would you have liked? I'm likely bringing the gift when I go to meet the babies.  I want to spend between 100 and 200.  TIA

Two fisher price rock n plays were my most useful item in the beginning.  Although a twin breastfeeding pillow would be good too...

I heart my Rock n play as well...I only had one though, and it was sufficient.  I also use my Bjorns like mad...diapers are also a great gift!

I had two carriers (Ergos) that I never used...

Best thing for EBF twins is a double nursing pillow - I LOVED my EZ2Nurse pillow from Double Blessings (~$50)

A double snap n go would also be nice!

Since you're willing to spend a decent amount, I'd simply ask her, what's in that price range that she really wants?  I love it when people have asked me becuase I know I can check a BIG item off my list!  She may have a registry, just to keep herself organized and to get a discount so you could ask her about that too

a double snap and go stroller would be great (by baby trend).

I asked her and the only thing she could think of was bouncy seats.  My mom is getting those.  

Thanks, I'll probably get the double nursing pillow and a few other smaller things.

Really the only way for one person to wear two babies simultaneously is with two Mei Tais (Babyhawk is a popular brand), two woven or stretchy wraps (Moby et al) or one of each. You can't use two Baby Bjorns or two Ergos simultaneously.

You'd be surprised. 

I forget her name, but there's a MoM on here who does and can post a picture if you want to see it- it's pretty darn cute.
