Thrifty Thursday: Free Printable Twins Schedule

Who says you can't get something for nothing? Double Up Books if offering a free, printable baby chart for twins, which you can use to keep track of your babies' routine. Each page represents one day's schedule, with space to jot notes about feeding, diaper changes and medications (if necessary). When my twins were newborns, I did find it helpful to keep a chart of their activities. In my brain-dead postpartum state, I just couldn't keep track in my head. Plus it was a good way to communicate with my husband; it avoided confusion and kept us from arguing over details. However, over time, writing everything down became redundant; it was more trouble to find the chart ... find a pencil ... and write it all out. As we gained control over our routine, we felt less of a need to keep track of every detail.
