Believe it or not, you want that. It confirms your babies are getting enough nutrition. You can do the math. You will go through to 1, diapers in your first 60 days alone.
We found off-brands or less popular brands to be just fine. We used off-brand petroleum jelly with each and every change, and rarely had rear rashes. You'll figure out what works best for you. If friends ask what you need for the babies, you need diapers. You can't leave the hospital without them. They can't share. Our twosome even needed to be "tested" in their car seats for stress prior to being released from the hospital.
We have a hysterical photo of our daughter sleeping away in her car seat with electrodes and monitors attached all over her. From what I hear, not every hospital requires this test, but don't be surprised if yours does. For babies under age 1, and less than 20 pounds, the car seats must be rear-facing. If your babies reach 20 pounds prior to their first birthday, they still need to remain rear-facing.
You'll then need to invest in "convertible" car seats that can go from rear to front-facing, and that accommodate heavier babies. Most firemen will install the bases into your vehicle for you, ensuring they are safely and properly in place.
Don't wait until late in your pregnancy to get this important task accomplished. Twins can and often do come early. Be ready. Even though you can only place a single spoonful in one baby's mouth at a time, feeding your babies semi-simultaneously by alternating bites betwixt the two is far easier than trying to feed them in sequence.

You'll need to protect yourselves from the burp cheese. Even if you are handling burp duty single-handedly which eventually you will have to each baby deserves a fresh, cheese-free cloth. There are precious burp cloths out there that coordinate with bibs and outfits. If you get some as gifts, fantastic. For day-to-day and middle of the night use, cloth diapers serve the purpose well. While on the subject of burping, let me digress.
When your babies are small, you will probably not burp them over your shoulder as you usually see on TV. For the first three to four months, until they really get good neck control, it often works best to burp baby while he or she sits on your lap. Hold his or her jaw around the chin in one hand supporting the head, and firmly pat the baby's back with your other hand. We draped the burpie cloth over our hand supporting the head, and put the extra cloth over the leg toward which the baby was facing, just in case.
Shop for disposable wipes or reusable wipes online. Keep in mind that buying larger package sizes generally means lower costs per diaper, but buying smaller packs may allow you to use more coupons. If your little one is solidly within a size range, purchasing the largest package you can splurge on can be a wise investment. All babies are different.
