Raising twins doesn’t mean buying two of everything.
Introduction: Two Babies, One Calm Approach
Bringing home twins is twice the joy—and, at first glance, twice the stuff. But thoughtful parenting doesn’t mean doubling your shopping list.
At Bībū, we believe you can raise twins gently, simply, and sustainably—with a little strategy and a lot of love.
What You Actually Need Two Of
These are the items where having one per baby makes all the difference in ease, hygiene, or sanity.
Nappies and Wipes
Each baby will go through 8–12 nappies a day. Stock up or wash often.
Bottles or Feeding Supplies
If bottle-feeding, aim for a minimum of 4–6 per baby. If breastfeeding, consider a double pump and twin feeding pillow.
Clothing Basics
Onesies, sleepsuits, socks. Twins spit up in stereo.
Swaddles and Blankets
Helps with sleep routines and avoids laundry panic.
Car Seats
Non-negotiable for safe travel.
What You Don’t Need Two Of
These items can easily be shared, rotated, or adjusted.
One Changing Station
Organize well and keep it central.
One Baby Bath
Bathe one at a time, or invest in a large tub insert.
One Play Mat or Bouncer
Tummy time, sensory play, or naps can be shared or alternated.
One Diaper Pail
Empty more frequently, not double the bins.
One Closet
Sort by size, not by baby—twins often swap clothes.

Final Thoughts: Twin Parenting, Simplified
