Being a mom to 2 babies under 1 year old can feel like a lot!
The 2 lessons I’ve learned that help make this feel more manageable are:
Find ways to save time! Be proactive and lean in to time-saving items.
Having a free hand is a luxury! Finding ways to free up your hands, or items that help do tasks one-handed, are a must!
With this in mind, here are some of the must have baby items that I rely on EVERY. SINGLE. DAY as a mom to 2 babies!
Baby Brezza - Both of our babies are formula fed, and the Baby Brezza has made making bottles so much quicker and easier! And it helps with both points above - it’s a huge time saver AND it means mixing a bottle only requires 1 hand.
Diaper Genie - Double the babies means double the diapers, and having a diaper pail is definitely needed! We have the Diaper Genie which helps immensely as you can dispose of dirty diapers handsfree using the foot pedal!
Baby Bjorn Bouncer - Both our babies LOVE this bouncer, and it helped free up our hands. Because it’s light weight it’s easy to bring this around the house to provide a place for baby to hang out while you wash bottles, cook food, change the other baby, and so much more!
Bottle Sanitizer - We go through SO many bottles in a day, therefore having a quick and easy way to sanitize these is a must!
Bottles - Our babies both preferred a different bottle/nipple style, so we actually have 2 different brands. At first I thought this would be so annoying, but it’s actually made it so much easier to keep track of who’s bottle is who’s.

Pro tip: As much as we want to plan ahead for our babies, they will ultimately decide what they like or don’t like. My tip is to avoid buying too many bottles until you know if your baby will like them. Our close friends bought a whole 12 bottle system, and their baby refused to drink out of that style of bottle.
Stroller Bugaboo Donkey - Our family loved this as a single stroller when we just had our daughter, and it easily converts to a double to accommodate both babes. Having a quality double stroller is essential for us leaving the house.
