Registry Checklist for Multiples

Baby stores have huge lists of things to buy — and none of them even address twins (or triplets or more!). Here’s what you really need for your multiples.

Furniture/bedding
[] Cribs (your babies may be able to share in the beginning, but they start wriggling around pretty quickly, so 1 per baby)
[] Crib mattresses (1 per baby) and covers
[] 2–3 fitted crib sheets (per crib)
[] Dresser (depending on how many babies you have, you may be able to fit all of their stuff in 1 large dresser)
[] Changing table

Gear
[] High chairs (1 per baby)
[] Swing (buy 1 and see if you need more down the line)
[] Bouncer seat or rocker (you may be able to get away with having just 1 here, too)
[] Car seats (1 per baby/no skimping here!)
[] Car window shade
[] Stroller (choose one that can accommodate all of your babies)
[] Umbrella stroller (You only really need one stroller, but it’s good to also have an umbrella stroller for travel.)
[] Baby slings or carriers
[] Diaper bag
[] Changing mat (just get 1 of these)
[] Diaper pail and liner
[] Activity mat (get a big one that can accommodate all of your babies)

Safety/health
[] Baby monitor
[] Pacifiers
[] Thermometer
[] Nasal aspirator
[] Baby nail clippers
[] First-aid kit
[] Infant bathtub
[] 2 hooded bath towels per baby
[] 4 washcloths per baby
[] Baby shampoo and wash
[] Brush and comb set
[] Diaper rash cream
[] Diapers (start with at least 2 cases of newborn size)

Clothing
[] 4–6 undershirts per baby
[] 4–6 receiving blankets per baby
[] 4–6 long-sleeved onesies per baby
[] 4 sleep sacks per baby
[] Caps/mittens

Feeding
[] Breast pump
[] Multiples nursing pillow
[] 4–8 bibs per baby
[] Burp cloths
[] 10–16 bottles per baby (Seem like a lot? Babies go through these very quickly. You’ll be happy when you aren’t spending your days washing out plastic bottles.)
[] Insulated bottle tote
[] Bottle brush
[] Bottle sterilizer
[] Bottle warmers
[] Dishwasher caddy
