Baby Shower Gift Ideas for Twins Under $50.00

I have been a mother twice already. I have my lovely teenager daughter, going through the great puberty stage which comes with a lot of rebellion. I also have a three year old boy who I spoiled enormously and will forever be my baby and now I have twins on the way. I know the gender of my two new little ones I am expecting but I’m not ready to share just yet.

On my quest to find out what being a twin mom is all about, I am learning a lot of new things. Some of the things I’m learning are making me a bit paranoid; it has me questioning myself if I can really handle this task.

As I am going through baby products for twins, I have come across a few essentials that every twin mom will need plenty of - in stock. When there is more than one you need double or even triple of what you had for a singleton.

Below I have listed the Top 10 Items a twin mom will need plenty of.
If you’re a mom make sure you stock up before the 2 new blessing arrive or if you are baby shower shopping for twins, these are some great ideas and they are all under $50.00.

1.   Full Supply of Diapers (Disposable or Cloth) and Wipes

You can expect each baby to soil/wet 8 to 12 diapers a day for at least the first two months. You will go through 960 to 1,440 diapers in your first 60 days alone. If you use cloth diapers, keep in mind you will save plenty of money that you could use toward other essential items.

2.   Diaper Genie

What goes in must come out. Many of the predominant diaper manufacturers put coupons in the newspaper regularly and offer coupons to moms of twins; however, even with coupons name-brand diapers are still much more expensive.

You will defiantly need a diaper genie to dispose all those diapers you will be putting to use. Diaper Genie is so convenient because you it hold up to 270 newborn diapers which means less time taken from you traveling outside to the garbage can an it hold the stronger order of those stinky diapers

3.   My Best Friend Twin Nursing Pillow

I have always breasted my kids, and was wondering how I was going to manage two babies at once that want a feeding. My Best Friend Twin Nursing Pillow was recommended to me by a old HS friend who also has twins. Despite it comes in green the pillow was made to support new mothers of breastfeeding twins. The pillow wraps securely around your body with an adjustable fit for most sizes.

4.  Car Seat Canopies

Canopies either for car seat or for the stroller are another essential. I keeps, the sun/rain off of baby as well as bugs and strangers who may feel the need to be all in your babies face.

5.  Batteries

Most baby toys, swings, rockers etc., C and D batteries are most common for larger items like a swing, but AA and AAA are commonly used for vibration in a bouncy chair or swing.

6.  Fisher Price Rock & Play Sleeper

Fisher Price Rock & Play Sleeper has an inclined sleeper and playtime seat in on with calming vibrations. The inclined seat helps baby sleep all night long. Definitely a plus when one or both babies are having a uptight day.
 

Other gift ideas are gift cards, a night of volunteering babysitting, Blooming baby bath, coming over and cooking a meal for mom and/or dad. Otherwise, plenty of diapers, onesies and wipes will be the biggest help.

             

The New Smart Breast Pump

Breastfeeding is something I truly enjoy, however, the use of a breast pump can be annoying. Finally, the perfect breast pump has landed. Many breast pumps share common grievances, but this new device is here to eliminate problems for moms.

Introduced at CES 2017 this week, the new willow pump which will cost around $430

fits into a mom's bra, hands free. This new device will be available in the Spring and silently pumps without requiring any of the bulky tubes during the process.

Within the pump's design, there's an internal bag that collects up to four ounces of milk. It can also automatically sense when your body is ready to transition to expression phase without needing to wait for a preset time.

This dishwasher-safe, three-piece device is battery operated, and moms can get a few days out of pumping before having to recharge. It also works with a milk-tracking app that adds an extra element of convenience by recording which side you pump on, the duration of the session, and how much milk you produce.

Since it can fit in a mom's bra without any of the attachments, bottles, or wires, it allows moms to multitask with minimal disruption. During trials, moms were able to  and while commuting, according to CNN Money.

The pump's creator, John Chang, designed Willow to be a more discreet option and told CNN that he hopes his product will enable more moms to breastfeed by being quiet and easy to use.
