 The layette must be practical, with basic
pieces and without much embroidery, ribbons and laces, so
that they may be machine washed and dried.
Include pieces size XS (premature), because the initial
baby growth is slow and large clothes are more difficult
to be handled.
very important, especially for those days when
you are so tired that you think you are dreaming there
is someone crying, and this device tells you the truth!
(Liliane)
used a lot in the beginning. After the 6th month choose
plastic bibs, which are much more practical to be cleaned
after meals, and you will only need three of them, and not
that mountain of cloth bibs.
very useful to bottle-feed, to give the first foods
and to transport the babies (it can be used in place of bassinets)
they are essential if you travel a lot,
but they are also a good option for the babies to play in – they
work as a play yard.
Get a big one in which you can
put the three babies’ stuff.
In the beginning, by the 6th month the bouncer
itself may be used in the car, ideally with a cushion to
support the baby’s head and neck. After 6 or 8 months
the bouncer must be replaced by larger car seats.
If you want the three babies to eat at the same
time, you will have to get three high chairs, but you can
take turns if you get only one or two.
Strollers for triplets do exist; however,
it might be inconvenient to transport them in a car and to
push them in narrow places. The best, initially, is a stroller
for twins and another single stroller. If getting the two
strollers is not feasible, choose the stroller for twins,
which will accommodate the three babies for as long as they
are small. If you decide to get three single strollers, you
will need two more people to help you stroll!
Get one in which you can place the largest
number of bottles. It may be electrical or to be used in
the microwave oven. However, in the absence of a sterilizer,
the bottles may be boiled in a pan.
The store must be large, because you will need
at least 24 diapers each day and you will have to try different
brands until you find the one that best fits your babies.
If they are premature, even the size S diapers will be large,
so you may adjust them by using adhesive tape!! Nurses at
the hospital will show you how to do it. After finding out
the best brand, look for the wholesalers who sell them in
bales. It will be a lot cheaper.
very important, because the babies spit up a lot
when they are young. Keep three always at hand, in the car
and in the bag.
it is hygienic, especially when the babies
spit up frequently.
choose only one, labeling the clothes with
the babies’ names or separating them in three smaller
bags.
at least 24 a day. At first, choose small bottles
(130 to 150ml)
if you got a bouncer there is no need to get a
bassinet. It would be difficult to find room to store so
many things in the house!!
It is the most practical way to measure
the baby’s temperature. It is almost impossible to
use conventional thermometers given that the babies never
keep quiet. All you have to do with ear thermometers is to
touch the baby with it and it is done!
