Wow ummm… like a lot …

you can go to stores like ross and they have things for less … if you buy all the clothes your TWO kids will need in the first year it will be about

00 look for good deals and stretch that money

my advice to you is to go to garage sales, newborns outgrow their clothing so fast even after it is used they are still like new. You can get sleepers from .50 to .00 more than likely you will go through 4 to 5 outfits a day per child when the babies are born. I dont know how often you plan on washing
Good luck to you and your babies.

i know this, believe it or not babies grow quite rapidly up to 6 months old. so i would suggest buying a few pairs. make sure they are loose but not big as you do not want your child to look like he’s drowning in a pool of yarn. hehe. good luck picking out the clothes. have fun!

Well…I have 9 year old twins, so maybe I can help a little bit.
Babies grow VERY fast. And, depending on the time of year you can get away with less.
I would start with onesies (about 10 of them in each size–10 total not 10 for each) and then get about 2 “outfits” per child to put them in when you leave the house. If it is summer time, you can get away with the onesies because it won’t be as cold.
I would invest in some light weight blankets because you can double those as bibs while they eat. (get about 6 of those)
You will be doing laundry often, but when I had my twins we didn’t have a lot of money to spend on clothes that my girls would outgrow in the matter of weeks.
I would concentrate on the sale racks (Target is the best I think) and have people buy clothes that are bigger than your children are, because they will grow very fast, and most often you won’t have a chance to put them in the clothes before they outgrow them.
Good luck! It is a lot of fun with twins. I fondly remember the good days before they had opinions!

Do not buy alot of clothes in the beginning. Babies will outgrow them within atleast 3 weeks, so it’s a waste of money and washing (there’ll be plenty of that, no matter how much clothes you buy).

They will grow so fast, that you will probably spend more money on their cloth every month, that you imagine. A good this is to have other people give it to you on the baby shower and tell them exactly what, so you will not have a lot of stuff, that you are not able to use. Usually it is 6 pieces of underwear (whatever you want to use two or one piece), 2 or 3 pyjamas and 4-6 for day wear. You only would have to change them, when they poo all over themselves or vomit. If they do not do this, they always smell great, so no need to change unless dirty (or because you want them to look different every day) They will grow out of the smallest cloth in about 1 month. It actually really depends on how much money you want to spend…. you can also sell the cloth later for other twin moms or give them to charity.

Answer by Michelle
I would suggest having enough outfits to get you through 3 days in case you get behind in laundry. For each day (and this is being on the safe side since changing outfits can happen frequently!) per child I would reccomend:

*2 pairs of pjs
*4 onsies
*4 outfits

Total for 3 days: 12 pairs of pj’s, 24 onsies and 24 outfits
This will probably get you through more than 3 days but just so you don’t have to worry about doing laundry since you will clearly have your hands tied up! Also keep in mind that people will probably give you lots of clothes so when you’re buying just get the basics and then build up from there. Also since it it going to be spring/summer soon you won’t need to worry about layering and coats and all that until later. When my girls were born we dressed them in onsies and foot one piece outfits to start. Old Navy, Gap and Target are great places to begin!

Congrats and good luck!

Answer by Heather R
Honestly, it depends on the baby. Some are messier eaters, some poo and pee out of their diapers more often than others, and it depends on how often you want to do laundry. I would suggest an average of 8-10 gowns/sleepers and 3-5 “cute” outfits per baby to begin with and go from there.
