Please note that all my experiences is based purely on personal from having twins. (a boy and a girl).
All comments / questions are appreciated and I will be happy to respond.
A typical list of things that you need to get you through the night:
* The numbers are per baby, so multiple by 2 if you have twins
- 2x mattress protectors
- (In case of twins sleeping together it's a good idea to have two protectors side by side to simplify changing the bedding)
- Cheap option is LEN from IKEA (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40143304/)
- 2x mattress sheets per baby (for twins in same bed, use two side by side)
- Pack of wet tissues - preferably with warmer
- Pack of soft tissues
- 10x Diapers per baby (They might use different ones, even with twins) - More Info
- 2x burp cloth
- 3x wiping cloth (more absorbent then soft tissues)
- Night light (additional light for changing table might be useful)
- 4x sets of change clothe
- 2x blankets or sleeping sacks
- Hand sanitizer (you probably wont have time to run to the bathroom every time)
- Diapers dispenser bag (you can use anything just to hold dirty diapers while you change them)
- Sterilized pacifiers if you use them
- Cotton balls, saline solution, med kit, etc
Feeding - infant eating schedule is unpredictable, for us every two hours worked. We were breast feeding and if they didn't take it well then top it off with pumped milk.
- Few sterilized clean bottles with nipples and caps - just in case
- Pumping machine + gear all sterilized and ready
- Pumping cleaning wipes - those save time at night
- Bottle warmer (just be careful not to overheat)
Food to last through night, assuming that you don't have much help at night time:
- Lots of water
- Lactation tea (We make some in advance and keep it in thermos) - mix with whole milk half/half before drinking
- Yogurt / kefir or anything else
- Berries / dried fruits / fresh fruits / nuts / etc - clean and in ziplock or container ready to eat
