HTH!

I had twins almost a year ago. There are plenty of freebies to be found for twins, but most of them require a little work. You need to provide a letter stating that you just had twins and would like to receive any promotions or coupons from the twins programs. You also have to provide copies of the birth certificates. What I did was type up a brief letter on the computer and print a bunch and sign them. Then I addressed all of the envelopes and put the stamps on (all of this I did before the twins were born) Then, it was ready to go once I had the copies of the certificates, I just stuffed the envelopes, cause God knows I would have never had time to do all of that once the twins came (I have 2 older children also) Anyway, I did receive many helpful coupons, formula and gifts.

Thanks babnak and lilpalm, this information is very helpful.

[ceargle]

thanks so much for all this info, very helpful, I'm due in about three months with twins and can use all the free stuff I can get...

[grams8_07]

Thanks so much for posting this! My daughter had twins on august 7, they weren't due till October 28, so we weren't quite ready for them.

[karee]

Thx for all the information...Just wanted to know ...Do these companies require Actual birth certificates or u sent the hospital certificates.

As far as i knw, the birth certificates take around 2-3 weeks to confirm..pls confirm..

[ceargle]

hey karee, as far as I understand you send only copies of the birth certificates, I know waiting a couple of weeks isn't great, but just have your envelopes ready to go for when you get the "bc's", then all you have to do is copy and mail!!!

Hi ladies... I'm new here, but wanted to chime in. I have 2 and half year old triplets. I have to be honest... I didn't take the time to do a lot of these offers. I did contact Johnson & Johnson. They sent me a packet of about $30 worth of coupons for free products. i.e. Free Baby Shampoo up to $5, Free Baby Wash up to $5, etc... Some of the companies listed never responded to my request (don't remember now which ones those were) and many simply sent coupons.

Be sure to discuss any programs that are out there with the nurses or social workers in the hospital. If your babies (or those of your friends) are preemies, which is quite likely, and in the NICU for any length of time, then a social worker SHOULD be in touch with you. My triplets were born @ 23.5 weeks so we were approached by a social worker within about two days of their birth and she was pretty helpful on programs that could help. i.e. Ross Lab. (the makers of Similac) have a multiples program where they give you a case, I think, per baby if you have multiples.

Also, if your babies are extremely premature, it's likely they'll be in the NICU for an extended period of time, thus accumulating HUGE medical bills. Obviously NOBODY wants a baby to be born that early, but if it does happen, be sure to ask about programs that help pay those bills. Some social workers may not bring that up even though it's their job. I know of a couple who had a 26 weeker and never heard of that until months after their baby came home. In the state of Texas, if your baby is born under a certain weight (I think it's around 2 lb. 13 oz.) they AUTOMATICALLY qualify for Medicaid, regardless of income. My little ones were 1 lb. 6 oz., 1 lb. 7 oz., and 1 lb. 8 oz., so obviously qualified. This was so helpful to us, as the first EOB we recieved from our primary insurance stated that the bill for ONE of our babies for the first 22 days ONLY was already at $273,000.

In addition to that, in regards to multiples (not just preemies) there are a LOT of groups of mothers of multiples out there. I never did personally join one, just because I felt like I had too much on my plate with preemies who had health issues, but I've been told that these groups can be very helpful when it comes to finding resources as well as sometimes passing on gently used items, such as strollers, high chairs, etc.

Sorry to go on and on. I just noticed this thread was started quite some time ago, but hopefully something here can be of use to somebody.

I just had twin girls in February. I got some hand made soft structured baby carriers from [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] The code TWINS at checkout gives you 25% off one or basically buy one get one half off if you buy 2. I don't usually wear two carriers, but I have and use 2 all of the time when I go out with my husband or friends, I just have whoever is with me strap on the other baby. (My double stroller doesn't always fit through doorways)
