As exciting and joyful as it is for a mom to learn she's expecting her second or third (or beyond) baby, there's little stopping the chatter she's sure to hear from fellow moms with more than one. Going from one to two is hard. Going from two to three — well, depends on how old they are, but still — oof — talk about having a full plate! That said, the fact remains that no matter how many kids a mom has, she deserves a standing ovation for her hard work. No matter a family's size, moms are undoubtedly contending with lack of sleep, a mountain of to-dos, and other tasks that may just be a part of everyday parenting but definitely take a toll. But moms of twins face special challenges all their own. Twin moms often need special accessories, so they can tandem breastfeed or be able to wear or stroll more than one baby around at a time. They may also need even more support and extra pairs of hands to help while juggling their twins.
Not to mention the fact that they may have older kids who they're caring for at the same time. And although the baby years might present uphill battles all their own — anyone who doesn't believe us can check out some photos that perfectly sum up life with twins — twin moms aren't exactly getting a break as their kids grow into toddlers, big kids, and beyond. They've certainly earned the label of mama bears, supermoms, or moms who have a superpower (growing more than one kiddo at once). All of that said, when the holidays roll around, twin moms deserve a major round of applause for doing double the work with their little ones. Thankfully, there are plenty of cool, smirk-worthy, and sweet options that celebrate the twin mom on anyone's holiday gift list. So we found 20 of the best mom of twins gifts: useful and heartwarming holiday gift ideas that are sure to make a mom of twins smile. And for any mom-to-be out there who has a pair of sweet little buns in the oven, take a quick peek at what's in store — written by a real mom who's been in those shoes before — it's super useful information.
