What a six months it has been. Olivia and I have learned more in the last 6 months than we have in our combined 70 years on this planet. The first half year with twins was fun packed and there was never a dull moment. When you have newborns, especially twins, you need to buy a lot of products to save you time, make your life easier, and less messy. I have put together this list of “Newborn Baby Must Haves” that made our life easier, hopefully, it will help you too. The list is in no particular order and represents, mostly Olivia’s, in-depth product research. Most of the products are for newborns but some are specific to twins like no.2, the Bugaboo Donkey.
