When you find out you're having twins, the first instinct is often panic — "We need two of everything!" Two cribs, two swings, two changing tables, two everything. But here’s the truth from a mom who's been there: twins don’t need double everything.
1. One Room, One Routine, One Space
You don’t need two separate nurseries. Twins often sleep better together (even in one crib at the beginning), and sharing a room helps sync their sleep and feeding schedules.
2. Minimal Gear, Maximum Use
Instead of buying two of every baby item, focus on multi-use essentials:
One good changing station is enough.
You don’t need two baby baths — bathe them one at a time or together as they grow.
One high-quality playmat works just fine.
3. Toys and Books Can Be Shared
Twins naturally learn to share. Rotating a small number of sensory toys and board books keeps their attention longer than having an overwhelming toy pile.
4. Strollers: Choose Wisely, Not Doubly
Double strollers are expensive and bulky. Choose one that fits your lifestyle and test it out before buying. Many twin moms regret their first stroller purchase.
5. Minimalism Is a Sanity-Saver
Fewer things = less clutter, easier cleaning, more peace. Twins bring double the love and double the chaos — but not necessarily double the stuff.

Final Thought:
If you're a twin parent (or about to become one), let go of the pressure to over-buy. Your twins don’t need double everything — they just need you, your time, your cuddles, and your calm.
