Essential Baby Gear for Raising Twins-2

One Portable Playard

Whether you’re traveling or just need a temporary bassinet, a playard is a must. Many playards come with optional basinets, changing tables, and mobiles, allowing you a customizable experience. As your babies grow, the unit transitions into a playard—at which point it might be more convenient to have one per baby.

For babies under 15 pounds, this twins bassinet is a lifesaver. Wheels make moving the unit easier, while the cozy quilted bassinets with removable canopies make naptime last a little longer. $204.

Multiple Swaddles

Some parents are naturally equipped to swaddle their babies perfectly every time. If your talents lie elsewhere, invest in a few swaddles. Available with a number of ways to secure—Velcro, flaps to wrap, or zipper closures—as well as options to grow with your babies (like removable arms), until your baby can roll over, swaddles may be the key to a full night’s sleep.

ipper. The stretchy fabric (shown in grey) with vented panel allows air to pass through and provides room for baby’s arms and hips to move—all while feeling the comfort of being snuggled. $25.

One Diaper Bag

You won’t leave home without a diaper bag for the next couple of years. Since you’re packing doubles of everything, look for a bag with lots of pockets to help you stay organized. Other features to consider—the fabric and straps. Make sure you and your partner agree on the fabric (check to make sure it’s machine washable) and can both comfortably tote the bag (look for adjustable straps).
Take it all with you in this bag. With oodles of interior pockets to stash extra diapers, wipes, clothes, plus two exterior insulated bottle pockets and a memory-foam changing pad, you’ll have room for all the essentials. Carry this bag with the shoulder or backpack straps, or tote it along with the convenient handle. $180.

One Video Monitor

Since you’ve got two babies, you’ll need two cameras once they start sleeping in separate cribs. Look for video monitors with night vision, temperature sensors, and encrypted signals. Some video monitors allow you to easily access the feed from your smart phone, while others have specific monitors. If communicating to your little ones is a priority, opt for a model that lets you talk and listen from another room.
Feel like you’re in the nursery—even when you’re not. With the option to view up to four camera feeds on the monitor, this high-definition camera gives you peace of mind knowing your little one is sleeping soundly. The temperature sensor, feeding timer, night vision, and two-way communication make feeling connected a little easier. $180.

Multiple Carriers

A baby carrier will be a lifesaver as you navigate your new world with twins. When your little ones are still in the newborn era, skin-to-skin contact is recommended. As they grow, though, you’ll want to adjust your carrier. Choose a carrier based on the wearer—which means you may need a different one for you and your spouse. Twin carriers will allow you to carry both bundles of joy at once.
We Suggest: Nuroo Pocket
Baby wearing has come a long way in the last few years. If you’ve got a tiny set of twins—total combined weight up to 45 pounds—this baby-wearing shirt will be your new BFF. Only wear it while sitting for hours of skin-to-skin snuggles. $60.

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

11 Sleep Tips for Traveling With Children When a friend told me she packs a suitcase full of her daughter’s favorite stuffed animals when they travel, I wasn’t surprised. My family resembles a traveling caravan at airports as we transport all our gear. Although trips with kids aren’t quite as blissful and relaxing as those pre-kid vacations, advance planning helps. With summer vacation season around the corner, here are my sleep tips for babies and toddlers to alleviate some stress while on the road. Start your trip well-rested.  Travel, whether by car, plane, or train, can rob anyone of shut eye, but it especially takes its toll on young children and babies who accumulate sleep debts quickly. Aim to have your child well-rested before leaving for your trip, taking restorative naps, and sleeping well at night for the days preceding your departure.. Babies and children whose sleep tanks are full can adapt much easier to schedule changes and a little lost sleep here or th...
