MOM OF TWINS: MY FAVORITE BABY PRODUCTS AGES 6-12 MONTHS

7/4/2021

As a mom of twins, I have tried out a variety of items for our kids are they get older. Here are my favorites for ages 6-12 months! First of all, I highly recommend putting together two of these Skip Hop baby gates to keep the play area safe.

Baby Feeding:
  • ​Water bottles - I didn't realize when I started feeding the girls that straw bottles are actually preferred because it helps them move their tongue up which improves later speech. The bottles that they like the most include: the straw ones and these with the straw built in.
  • These are the baby spoons that we practiced most with - easy for little hands!
  • If your kiddo has any sensory concerns try these amazing Nuk brushes to get them used to moving their tongues around.

Baby Indoor Toys:
  • As they start sitting up on their own, this wooden Battat busy block was such a joy!
  • They gained some self sufficiency with these little chairs and also used them to look out the window :)
  • Although you shouldn't leave them in it for more than 15 minutes a day, we really loved jumping with this Jumperoo!
  • An activity center that's stationary is also a must-have -- you can bring it outside if the weather is nice and use it later to walk around once they can pull to stand better.
  • This toy rocking horse was a big hit in our house, and now they can get on it themselves!
  • We found this awesome toy car second-hand.
  • This rainbow tunnel is fun to crawl through.
  • A pop-up animal toy is a blast.
  • If you're looking for a quick way to distract them during a meal, try these suction cup toys that are easy to transport.
  • A bead maze like this one keeps them occupied.

Outdoor play:
  • This water table is truly the best!
  • We are enjoying this Burley Bike Trailer which is great for two kids! Don't forget the Giro helmets.
  • If you're looking for bathing suits, there's nothing easier than Rufflebutts - mainly because there's fewer parts to manage and you can easily remove the swim diaper and change into a regular diaper.

Baby Books:
  • All of the Spot books are well loved.
  • The Little Red Barn and The Little Blue Boat are read often in our house, and they help turn the pages.
  • Sweet Child O' Mine book is so beautiful and fun to sing. We also love Everything Is Gonna Be All Right.
  • We read them a lot of books about being twins! It helps bond their relationship. Two is for Twins is great, also A Twin is To Hug, and the books like Bathtime is for Twins, and Playtime is for Twins. 

Other
  • When starting the big tub baths with twins, we used these Keter bath seats which were great for transitioning.
  • Highly recommend this Tineco vacuum mop with picking up baby food that's super messy.

I'll keep adding items that I can remember to be helpful. Hopefully this has given you a good idea of some essentials for this age group to watch them grow. If you have any questions for me, let me know!
