Twin Newborn Essentials: The Minimalist Parent Guide

If you’ve just found out you’re having twins (or they’ve recently arrived!) and you’re frantically Googling “what do I need for twins?” Welcome. You’re not alone and yes, the overwhelm is real. But here’s the good news: you don’t need double of everything, and you don’t need everything at once. This guide is all about keeping things simple, smart and stress-free. written by a twin mum who’s been exactly where you are.

What You Actually Need for Twins

You’ll hear a lot of “must-haves” from well-meaning friends, family and strangers on the internet. But not all of them have raised two newborns (and possibly a toddler) at the same time.

The truth? You need far less than the internet suggests.

Built by a Twin Mum, for Twin Mums

From figuring out if you need two bassinets to managing bottles, nappies and bouncers, I’ve created a simple guide for the first three months with twins.

Inside the checklist, you'll find:

• A curated list of 22 essential items (no product placements or brands, just the essentials)

• How many of each item you’ll actually need

• What worked for us in those early months

• Editable format to add your own items

• Blank pages to jot down links, gift ideas, or notes for later

This checklist is designed to reduce decision fatigue and help you feel calm, organised and prepared.

Why Minimalism Matters in Twin Parenting

Twin life is double the unpredictability. The more clutter you remove from your home and your to-do list, the more calm you create.

Our checklist helps you:

• Avoid overbuying

• Save money for the things that matter

• Focus on what will actually help during those early weeks
