My Most Used Baby Products for Newborn Twins: A First-Time Mom’s Honest Favorites
Now that my twins are two months old, I finally feel ready to share the most used baby products for newborn twins—the real MVPs from our baby registry. From testing bottles to baby bouncers and carriers, we’ve tried it all. Every baby has their own unique preferences (trust me, even at just weeks old), and as a first-time mom to twins, I’ve had to quickly figure out what actually works in our home.
While each baby is different, these are the baby products my twins love—and the ones that have made our chaotic, beautiful life just a bit easier.
Feeding Essentials: What Worked for Us
Feeding truly is the foundation of those early days—whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, formula feeding, or a mix of it all. I started off using the Medela hospital-grade breast pump. Even though my supply was on the lower side, I found it to be incredibly effective and reliable.
When it came to bottles, my boys were a little fussy. After testing a few different brands and nipple types, they finally settled on the NUK Perfect Match bottles—available in both glass and plastic. A win for all of us. And while they’ll take other pacifiers, NUK pacifiers are by far their favorite.
One of our absolute lifesavers? The Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced Mixer. It makes warm bottles in seconds—no more crying while waiting for water to heat. Pro tip: the filter needs cleaning after every 4 bottles, so buy a spare to avoid washing it constantly.
For reheating breast milk or pre-mixed formula, we use the Baby Brezza Smart Bottle & Breastmilk Warmer. It’s fast, safe, and has a defrost mode too. And when we’re on the go, the Baby Brezza portable bottle warmer is a diaper bag essential.
Another favorite? The Stokke Tripp Trapp Newborn Set. It’s definitely a splurge, but being able to keep the babies at table height during meals or in any room makes such a difference. It helps them feel included and lets me keep a closer eye on them while getting things done.
Sleep Solutions That Actually Help
We decided to skip the bassinet stage (since it’s so short-lived) and went straight for a convertible crib. The Stokke Sleepi V3 Convertible Crib has been amazing. I love that one side can stay open, making it easy to co-sleep safely. Those 2 AM feeds are far less daunting when you’re not fumbling around in the dark.
To help prevent flat spots, we use Babymoov Lovenest Headrest pillows—they’ve given me peace of mind during nap time.
Getting my twins to sleep in the crib was a challenge, especially with our NICU baby who got used to being held constantly. The Love To Dream Swaddle has been a game-changer. It gently encourages self-soothing and helped ease the transition to crib sleeping.
For Lounging and Hands-Free Moments
Our favorite piece of baby furniture? The Ergobaby Evolve Baby Bouncer. It’s sleek, comfortable, and grows with your baby. But let’s be real—your arms can get tired bouncing all day. So we also rotate with the Maxi-Cosi Cassia Baby Swing, which provides just enough movement to keep the boys calm and content.
We also love the RED CASTLE Cocoonababy Cuddle Nest. It’s one of the few loungers approved for both awake and nap time, and my twins love hanging out in it.
And for playtime? A high-contrast book set that supports different developmental stages has been a hit with the boys and fits beautifully into our aesthetic. It also makes the perfect baby shower gift—practical and cute.
Babywearing & Mobility: Everyday Essentials
Sometimes, you just need your hands. For those moments (or when we’re skipping the stroller), I rely on the Ergobaby Embrace Cozy Knit Newborn Carrier. No inserts needed, and it grows with your baby—exactly what you want in a long-term babywearing solution.
And now, for the big-ticket item…
Our Twin Stroller: A Game-Changing Investment
Living in Europe, we had to get creative with our stroller choice. Narrow sidewalks, tiny elevators—double-wide strollers just weren’t realistic. After lots of research, we landed on the Cybex Gazelle S Electric Stroller, and I can honestly say it’s one of our smartest purchases.
It’s stackable, sleek, and the electric assist makes pushing two growing babies much easier. It even has a self-rocking mode—yes, really! Perfect for soothing fussy babies while I sip a coffee or wait in line at the pharmacy.
We paired it with the Cybex carry cots and car seats, which easily click in and out. Everything is adaptable and thoughtfully designed, and the quality is unmatched.
