Two Under Two Essentials
My top five picks as a new mother of two babies.
With the recent addition of a new baby to our family, I wanted to put together a short list of the items that have made life easier. It’s not easy managing a busy toddler and a newborn, but there are some things that can be helpful during this crazy time.
1. Little Tikes Story Dream Machine
This adorable mini projector uses small book cartridges to read stories to your child. It’s the perfect toy for moments when you need to distract a busy toddler without turning on the TV. There are multiple book packs available for purchase that include titles like The Very Hungry Caterpillar or classic Golden Books.
2. Tula Explore Woven Cotton Baby Carrier
A soft, cotton baby carrier provides great back support while still being fast and easy to put on. The material is washable and easy to clean. It comes with a sun shade and a front pouch, perfect for holding your keys in the grocery store. A solid baby carrier is a must have when handling two young children.
3. Dockatot with Waterproof Organic Cotton Cover
If you need to give your toddler a snack, but you also want your infant where you can see them, a dockatot is essential. Be sure to invest in a cotton cover to ensure easy cleaning and maximum comfort without synthetic fabrics.
4. Graco DuoGlider Double Stroller
What I love about this double stroller is it can easily sport two young babies without breaking the bank. The rear seat can recline completely to give your tiny one a nap while your older child enjoys the ride. It also has a handy key compartment and cup holder, as well as a large under carriage.
5. Ruvalino Diaper Bag Backpack
A large, well organized diaper bag is a must for easy outings with two littles. This bag is great because it has two cup holders, two bottle holders (inside) and plenty of pockets.
If you know someone who’s a soon-to-be mother to two young babies, these can be some great, affordable gift ideas. These have all been my most used items during this phase of life while I have my hands full.
