Does anyone know of someone who had twin girls within the last year or so who would be happy to give their hand me downs to a mother who just had twin girls?

Thank you!

If they need newborn clothing, there are gemachs who give beautiful layette baskets with new stretchies and other items.

you can also get hand me downs from mothers with single babies, the babies don't have to be matching or anything.

Thank you!!

Ra-mom: do you know of a gemach or how I can find one?

I know they do not have to be matching but if they could and we can make the mother happy then why not.....

If you can get her one shabbos and one weekday set of matching clothes, I’m sure she’ll be happy. Newborns soil them so fast that they don’t stay matching for long.
But it’s nice to have the cute outfit to go out in.
A pair of headbands may also do the trick.

As a mother of twins, please start early and DON'T MATCH THEM. They have enough challenges in establishing their own identity and will be asked to share so much over their lifetime - they should be treated as sisters, not a matched set of people. (Sorry I don't have any newborn clothes to share - I've given them all away already.)

Um I have twins and they have always matched if one gets dirty both get changed it is much easier to only have to pick out one outfit in the morning and if I would just change one I would have only one clean of a set in the closet. It’s also a lot easier to buy double of everything then buy 2x as much stuff but different stuff.

I can't even imagine how changing 2 children is easier than changing 1.

(and you can buy 2x of everything - and put it on the twins at different times).

Do as you wish - but you're not making it any easier on yourself.

It's so normal for the mother to want some matching sets, and yes I get how happy that would make her. OP, you're so nice for helping - kol hakovod! I hope you're successful with the gemachs.

Someone recently gave me her clothes from her twin girls.

I haven't gone through the bags yet.

I don't know if I'm comfortable giving it to some anonymous person from imamother.

Where are you located?
