| Most moms would agree that a sling is a great idea, but that it is not
practical for twins. We feel parents of twins need a sling even more
because they only have two hands! Because your babies are used to being on
top of one another in the womb, they like being very close to each other. |
Position #1Heart to heart, chest to chest. (We recommend the larger size sling for most parents who plan on doubling up). You position one baby over each breast, facing mom, legs hanging out the bottom, then cinch up the tail very tight |

Position #2Babies are sitting completely curled up, legs and all, in the carrier on opposite ends of the bag, facing each other. Start with baby #1 in the normal reclining position, head towards rings. Then put in twin, facing inward. (It is probably a good idea to keep one hand on baby. This position is mostly for newborns up to a few months only). |
Position #3It is possible (with a little help) to wear two slings, one over each shoulder. Little babies can sleep in the lying down position, while larger babies can hip straddle. |

You be the judge of how long to carry two babies at a time depending on your size and physical condition. It is not likely that one person would often carry two babies. But, because it is so convenient to use, especially around the house, we would definitely recommend owning at least one Over The Shoulder Baby Holder. You can put your fussiest baby in whatever position makes him happy, and then you have your hands free to tend to the other one. Or on outings, it's much easier to carry one and push one, then trade off. Ideally we'd recommend having two slings. One regular size and one larger size. Or one for sling for mom and one for dad! |
