I've read a few doctor-authored books on parenting in the last months of my pregnancy and I must say that sometimes the experience is as pleasurable as pulling teeth.
What I liked: This book turned out to be more of a sweet treat than a teeth pull. It was an absolute pleasure to read. Reading is my oldest hobby and I know a well-written book when I read one. From chapter layout, to font-size, to dynamism of the content, this book was written for any intending parent to read and be informed without strain, guilt or boredom. The authors and editorial team get an A+ from me (I've also been on the editorial board of a student publication for two years so I know the effort required to deliver an easy to read publication).
Let's talk about content. The book has two authors who just happen to be female parents with a medical degree and experience in pediatrics. The background of Dr Jana and Dr Shu must have played a big role in the content because it comes across as a combination of what an experienced parent and a pediatrician will tell you - and due to that, it covers some of the minor details that mothers worry about but sometimes feel foolish bringing up with their pediatrician. Example of this is chapter 18 (my fave) which talks about the baby's health from head to toe. What's the white stuff in my baby's mouth? Answered. My baby is breathing funny, is this normal? Answered. What did I do wrong to startle my baby and make her cry? Answered
What I didn't like: In case it's not obvious from what I've written so far, I loved this book and enjoyed reading it. Only thing I may add is, based on the trust that the authors inspired in me, I wouldn't object to a few honest product recommendations. Also, some hints on handling twins and higher order multiples would be a nice addition.
In summary, this book has my strongest recommendation. Read before baby comes, as there'll be no time after. If you want to go a step further, both doctors have websites, blogs and free newsletters and in me, they've found a new fan.
I thought the babies would enjoy napping in this Fisher Price bouncer
. My co-caregivers are of the opinion that the babies are not comfortable in it so it's tucked away in storage. I'm loath to return it however because we have enjoyed hours of sleep on it so I fully expect that when the girls are better able to support their necks, they'll enjoy spending time in this. It's worth the try. I'll keep you updated
These are our swings 
and our daytime sleeping hours are spent here. The kiddos sleep well in this but are still too young to look up at the sheep rotating around the mirror. I'm also not sure the music does anything for them, but regardless, this mamma isn't sneezing at 3-5 hours of nap time achievable in the FP my little lamb swing
Here is the uber-famous boppy pillow
. Having this "rescue" me when I have to juggle the two babies alone, I see why the boppy has a huge fan club. I don't see how, but the babies are quite comfortable lounging on it. I own just one, which I use as a nanny to the baby I can't carry at the time. Every home with newborn twins needs one of this IMHO.
play mat for my twins and it proved to be a good decision. It's definitely a good size for two young babies to lie on at the same time. 
like I did because they have a very generous one year return policy.
. I chose this because unlike the Gracos, the lower weight limit is 4lbs. This was important to me as I had no idea what my babies' birthweight will be. I've installed other infant seats in the past and certifiably, this is the easiest to install and use. mytwintopia recommends this.
. Loved it during the test drive but haven't used it yet. I see a detailed and hopefully effusive review of this stroller in my future. 
I went to a Mothers-of-Multiples sale in June and I saw this book on the shelf for a dollar. I got it since I was about to leave the sale empty-handed and I figured out a one dollar savings based on the advise inside will justify its cost. 
3 weeks and 300 newborn size diapers later, I figured I might be qualified to write this post. I bought a range of disposable diapers on sale to build my stash and here's what I think of each brand I used.
