Infant Night Time Checklist

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
