Twiniversity’s 11 Formula Feeding Must-Haves

Twiniversity’s 11 Formula Feeding Must-Haves

Last updated on February 14th, 2024 at 11:48 am

Fed is Best!  We spend a lot of time preparing for breastfeeding and pumping, but the reality is many MoM’s for one reason or another feed their twinnies formula.  We need to be prepared for everything and formula feeding knowledge is a must! Here are Twiniversity’s 11 formula feeding must-haves:

Twiniversity’s 11 Formula Feeding Must-Haves

1. Earths Best Organic Infant Formula

You will want to feed your twinnies a good quality formula. Your twinnies may have different needs and we suggest finding a formula that meets those individual needs. Earth’s Best is a high quality, organic formula packed with good stuff, at a reasonable price. They have several formulas that can accommodate your most sensitive belly.

2. Dr. Brown’s bottles

You will need bottles, bottles and some more bottles, and Dr. Brown’s bottles are the best! They are the most recommended by hospitals and NICU’s and keep our little tummies free from gas. They make nipples for every sized kiddo and that helps make things a little less stressful if your twins are early or have feeding issues. They have even introduced the Options bottles that allow you to use the vent or not. We recommend you have 8 bottles per kid available per day. Don’t be silly like some of us who don’t have a dishwasher and had to wash bottles twice a day because we only had 8 total of the small bottles! They come in colors as well if you color-code your kids and/or if they take different formulas.

3. Baby Brezza Formula Pro

This is the Keurig of Formula, the quick one-step process for making a perfect bottle without the hassle. It mixes, it measures, it heats it to the perfect temperature and puts the formula in whatever sized bottle you need! It is a little pricey but worth every penny. Heck, register for 2 then you can make 2 perfect bottles in minutes!

4. Dr. Brown’s Formula Mixing Pitcher

For the not so high-tech there is a mixing pitcher that works great for getting together 4 bottles at a time. You can mix and store the airtight pitcher for the day and be ready to go. It works to prevent extra air introduction into the mixture to protect from gas and its great to have a few of these on hand. Remember you will be making up to 8 bottles EACH a day for EACH baby!

5. Skip Hop Formula Containers

For the times you are on the go, you are going to want to keep your powdered formula and water separate from each other. These containers by Skip Hop have twist and lock lids and are stackable with a handle for easy carrying. They can be used down the road for snacks too!

6. Skip Hop Grab-and-Go Insulated Double Bottle Bag

Another must have from Skip Hop is this Double Bottle Bag with a wipeable liner and ice packs that fit right inside of the bag. It has a strap to hook on to your stroller and later can carry sippy cups and cold snacks.

7. OXO Tot Bottle Brush

With bottle feeding comes bottle and bottle part washing. This OXO Tot Bottle Brush has a built-in silicone nipple cleaner with vent holes to ensure it dries. A flexible neck and lots of versatility for every kind of bottle. Plus a handy stand for when in use.

8. Boon Lawn Countertop Drying Rack

You’ll need a dedicated space for bottle parts to dry after washing. If you don’t want bottle drying to take over your entire kitchen countertop, this Boon lawn drying rack might be the thing for you! This drying system includes twigs and flowers allowing you to hang parts and pieces to dry and make use of vertical space. It’s very easy to maintain in comparison to a regular lawn. The tray below collects water and is separate from the grass for easy cleaning.

9. Dapple Fragrance-Free Baby Bottle & Dish Liquid

You buy special detergent wash the twinnies clothes, you need to buy special soap for those dang bottles too. Dapple uses all natural ingredients and is paraben, phalate, dye, and preservative free, but it does the job well. You can get it fragrance-free or a variety of pleasant natural scents.

10. Munchkin Microwavable Sterilizer Bags

You can always boil the bottles and parts or get a countertop sterilizer that can take a few hours to sterilize, but ain’t nobody got time for that! Especially you and your twinnies! You will love how these bags have a zipper top and a place to hold so you do not burn those fingers of yours.

11. Kiinde Kozii Bottle Warmer

Although room temperature formula is fine, you may want to bottle warmer anyway. Yes, this is a convenience item, but some of our twinnies are a bit spoiled where if they are given cold, cold formula they will give you the stink eye and throw their bottle! Using a microwave to heat formula is a no-no because of uneven temperatures and a multitude of other reasons. The Kozii bottle warmer is universal for all types of bottles. You do not have to fill it with water every time you use it and the heating mechanism is out of sight. You may even want to get 2 of these to make your life easier.
