Clothing
Clothing twins is an expensive yet important matter, as every mother
wants their child to be beautifully dressed, even more so in the
case of twins, where they are likely to be viewed by every passing
eye. Dressing twins identically may seem like a natural thing to do,
and this can be fine while they are still very young. However as
they grow older, it is important for each child to retain a separate
identity, and this can be difficult if they are constantly seen as
'one'. Many parents decide to offer the children a choice as they
get older, but this has it's downfalls, as they may by this stage be
so used to dressing alike that they find it difficult to change. So
to encourage each child's individuality, it is better to save
identical dressing for special occasions and allow them to dress
differently most other times.
NappiesBeing a mother of twins, you will realise that
'free-time', has definitely become something of the past, so to
lessen your workload, you may just want to consider the use of
disposable nappies. It may however be far cheaper for you to use
toweling nappies, but then one has to consider all the extras, such
as nappy liners, waterproof pants and the extra laundry that are all
required for this choice. Combining the use of both types are
usually the easiest - using toweling nappies during the day and
disposable’s at night or vice versa. Buying in bulk should also be
considered, as this will save you a trip to the shop and ensure that
you don't run out at the most inopportune of moments. In the case of
twins, asking for disposable nappies as a gift, opposed to other
baby paraphernalia, can offer a great saving to the family budget.
