Babywearing Twins or More

We often get asked about babywearing twins. Often by stunned parents who have just found out their family is expanding by more than expected and wondering how exactly they are going to manage it all! Babywearing singletons is one way busy households function but two or three babies???

First thing to remember is multiples don’t have to do everything together or at the same time. Two adults, two babies, two carriers … works wonders. And one fussy baby can be soothed in a carrier while another is blissed out in the bassinet. One baby in a carrier, one in a single pram can be simplier than wielding a double or triple pram about in tight spaces like shopping strips, markets and events.

There are twin babywearing options available, from purpose designed carriers to combining two carriers to accommodate the babies. Twin babywearing is best learned in person from an experienced babywearing educator or consultant. If you don’t have experience using baby carriers for previous children, consider learning to do so with one baby at a time before progressing to wearing both at once.

Because twins are often born premature or small for dates, it is important to follow guidelines around minimum weight for different carriers and overall recommendations for premature babies.
