Gift ideas for a mum with twins

A breast feeding cushion that'll help you feed both twins at the same time
Monday 30th of January 2012

Breastfeeding both twins at the same time? Then you'll love the My Brest Friend Breastfeeding Pillow, recommended by both Lactation Consultants & Osteopaths. The adjustable back, arm and elbow rests help eliminate sore backs and shoulder stress when breastfeeding and allow the mother to create an ideal breastfeeding position without straining muscles. The pillow works as it stays securely in one position once on - it wraps around the mothers waist using a silent release clip strap and doesn't slip when she moves. The back of the cushion helps with the mums posture, preventing sore necks and backs. The babies lie comfortably on the pillow, at the correct height for latching on - no pulled nipples or crying babies as you adjust position. The pillow is covered in an easy wash, zip off cover in hypo-allergenic cotton and has been designed to be perfect for women who've had a C-section too. Every breastfeeding mum of twins should have one! more

The Itzbeen baby care timer

Tuesday 17th of January 2012
If your twins are on different schedules it can be a bit of a plate spinning act. Feeding, sleeping, bathing, changing, medication, activities . . . never mind being woken up in the night, just getting to sleep with all this whizzing around your head can be impossible. But help is at hand in the shape of the Itzbeen Baby Care Timer which will help you keep things running smoothly. Get one for each of the twins and you'll be able to relax in the knowledge that twin A hasn't had Twin Bs bottle and that twin B hasn't had a double nappy change! There are four easy-to-use timers so you will always know how long it has been since the last nappy change, feed, or sleep. How you use the fourth timer is up to you. Track medication, exercise, or simply when it’s your other half’s turn to take over. One touch of the individual buttons will begin each timer and you can even set alarms so that you don’t miss anything. With a handy nightlight on top it’ll cast a soothing glow and the backlit LCD screen lets you use it even in the dark (yes, there is a good chance you will be required to use it at night). And if all this wasn’t handy enough, nursing mums can also set a reminder which side they last fed from. In fact, short of it doing the night feeds, the Itzbeen Baby Care Timer is every parent’s best friend. more

V-good back support with a V-shaped bean bag pillow

Bean Bag V Shaped Cushion For Pregnant Women

Monday 1st of August 2011
Back ache is a common problem in pregnancy. Pregnancy hormones start preparing your body for childbirth by relaxing your joints, ligaments and muscles and with a twin pregnancy, your increasing weight will add to the problem. The best treatment is rest, with an emphasis on supporting the back and that's where this V-Shaped Bean Bag Cushion comes in. It is filled with 'baby beans' that mould and shape to every contour of your body ensuring that the back has perfect support. It's covered in super soft fleece in a choice of three nursery friendly colours (pink, baby blue and white) and is sure to become your greatest friend particularly in the last trimester - think Jennifer Lopez in "The Back Up Plan". When the babies are born, the pillow can either be used as before as a back support or can be propped on your lap and baby (or babies when you get the hang of it) placed in the perfect feeding position. And it can be used to comfortably support a baby whilst you have your hands full with their twin. This cushion is a must for any mum to be who's suffering from back ache - it's so versatile and will be of use for years to come. Even better, it's good value too - just £24.99 online with free standard delivery. more

Minimise stretch marks with mama mio stretch mark oil

Monday 25th of July 2011
Stretch marks are an inevitable side effect of pregnancy and if your mother has them, you have an increased likelihood of getting them too. Not everyone gets them but your chances of aquiring a Mother's badge of honour increases with multiple pregnancies. But you can say "No!" to stretch marks (or at least minimise their appearance) with Mama Mio Stretch Mark Oil. Mama Mio pregnancy skincare produce this award winning oil which is one of the best pregnancy stretch mark protection oils on the market. Scented with Gravida this tummy rub oil contains a blend of ten pregnancy-specific and safe oils which offer protection against pregnancy stretch marks. Full of natural goodness, Mama Mio isn't at all oily because it is immediately soaked up into the skin leaving it super soft with a protective sheen. Simply apply liberally and gently, starting from boobs to mid thigh — front, back and sides. The process of rub-rub-rubbing will become a magical ritual over the coming months. Initially use it once a day but as you grow, you may want to increase use to morning and evening - particularly as it smells so gorgeous! Available online for £32.99 more

It's easy and fun to do, it takes just 45 minutes to do and the end result is both personal and decorative. Everything you need to make your belly cast is included to create your own work of art.
