A popular questions amongest to-be mothers of triplets, is how do I prepare for three newborns? Well, here is a guide, along with quantities, of what was useful for us:
3 Cribs (we always kept them in separated cribs)
3 Crib mattresses
1 Dresser (we used the top as a changing table)
1 Rocking chair
1 Pack and Play (if you can swing it, it would be useful to have three)
6 fitted crib sheets
6 waterproof mattress pads
3 Crib mobiles (our kids liked them)
1 Changing table pad (we had three which was nice to put in other places of the house, but you only need 1)
2 Changing table pad covers (at least)
3 Baby sunshades (our kids are sensitive to the light, maybe because of prematurity)
3 Car seats (the hospital won't let you leave without them)
1 Triplet Snap and Go stroller
1 Triplet Stroller for when they are older than newborn (we use the Run About)
2 Swings
1 Bouncer (just make sure you have 3 of the swing/bouncer combos)
3 Exersaucers
2 Play Mats
3 Mobile walkers (I know they're not recommended by Ped's, but they were a necessity for us)
3 High chairs
3 Woombies (our number one must have)
1 Hospital grade breast pump
5 Large sports bras with holes cut over nipples as an instant handless pumping bra
12 Nuk Bottles
15 Pacifiers (get after birth...They become attached to a certain kind)
1 Slow Cooker (we used this as a bottle warmer and just kept it on low all the time)
1 Ear thermometer
3 Bumbo Seats
3 Boppy Pillows
1 Infant bath tub
1 Diaper Genie (just use plain trash bags inside)
An infinite number of diapers, wipes, and everything else that comes with it
These are pretty much the necessities....Your family/friends will get all the cute clothes and everything else you could possibly want without you registering.
