Going Gaga Over – Think Twins

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Silvercross 

Martine Pekarsky, founder of twins specialist store, Think Twins, remembers the moment she and her husband were told during their 7wk scan that there were 'two heartbeats'. First it was sheer delight, then fear set in. At that point Martine says she wouldn't have known what to do with one baby, let alone two. It was the experiences Martine gained through her pregnancy and first year of the twins life that inspired the creation of Think Twins. 

Many twin-mums-to-be will be given advice such as; be prepared, don't be afraid to ask for help and support, stay organised and join a twins club.  So Think Twins was created to help make twin mums and dads lives a little bit easier.  Think Twins not only provides practical and affordable products that help having newborn twins, but provides information and advice through their resource centre, such as a free twin pram buying guide, a list of twins clubs in Australia, and tips on decorating a twins nursery.

No more struggling with wrapping your newborn tight enough to last all night, having 2 or 3 attempts only to find that bub has grown just that bit too big and now you can not secure the ends or you now have to change a nappy. Even if you have no problems wrapping baby, dad or grandma might not have the same knack or amount of practice that you do meaning no sleep while being looked after. 

Melbourne brand ErgoPouch have released their new and improved ErgoCocoon. Made with organic cotton that stretches to allow your baby to reposition their arms while sleeping and central front zip that unzips from the bottom for easy night changes and poppers in the arm holes to help with transition later on. Originally available in 0-3 months ErgoPouch have also added a larger size to their range 3-12 months for big babies or babies that like being wrapped just that little bit longer. 

ErgoPouch is available online at Styled Baby
