Got Quads?

Some days I feel my basement is simply a storage area for baby gear. We’re slowly selling the stuff we don’t need, but it’s barely making a dent in the pile. How much stuff do you need with quadruplets? Here are my recommendations: (I’ll do a “Best of…” later to share my favorites)

2 bouncy seats

2 swings (preferably portable)

2 exersaucers

2 high chairs (we fed our babies two at a time, if you want to feed all four at a time then you need 4 high chairs)

2 double strollers

1 quadruplet stroller (I didn’t use mine a lot because it was heavy, but it was so nice to be able to take my girls out for a walk around the block)

1 large pitcher for mixing formula or storing breast milk

1 ½ days worth of bottles (even if you breast feed you’ll want these on hand so others can occasionally give bottles while you rest)

4 cribs (I know there are many out there who like co-bedding, but my daughters slept so much better when we stopped co-bedding and gave them their own space)

1 changing table (some people would rather have 2, one upstairs and one downstairs but I never tried that)

1 cool mist vaporizer per baby bedroom

1 baby tub

4 portable cribs (we had these set up in our living room, so even if you don’t plan on traveling, they’ll certainly come in handy)

I know I’ve left out the little things, but this is a pretty comprehensive list of the big items you’ll need with four babies.
