twin boy clothes

amy

hi everyone i have twin boys and am wondering does anyone know where i can get some used but good condition clothing (age 2-3)?? i always dress them the same they fight if i don't!! i used to have a friend who passed stuff on to us but shes moved away now and the cost of clothing is killing me!! They seem to be grass and food stains on everything... their just at that age!! i've looked on e bay but there doesn't seem to be much happening...... thanks!

I have 'grown-up' twins and when babies i too dressed them the same, but by 1yr old dressed them differently.

Other than the expense, the children will always be grouped together, by other people and dressing them alike will not help them establish their own identity which is extremely important for twins. I would sellect some suitable clothes in the morning for your boys to 'pick' themselves, then they will be happy they have on what they have picked. (if like my two still fight but just not over clothes!) Letting them choose different clothing is the start to treating them as individuals, at their age they will soon 'learn' to accept this.

I know it's maybe not the answer you were looking for, but read anything, books/guides about twins and you will get the same answer, dress them differently!!

Try joining your local Freecycle group - I am sure there is one in Warrington. You can then gift any of your baby clothes onto someone who needs it and then ask for boys clothes in the right age range.

On my local Freecycle groups there are always people have a sort out of their baby equipment and clothes so yours will be the same.

Ebay is great especially if you need something a bit special maybe a childrens designer item or if you find someone selling off a whole batch of clothes but the cost of posting can be off putting.

the trouble is i know all this but it just doesn't work out they fight and become very very emotional at the moment they are potty training i'm changing them left right and centre the only trouble is that when one gets changed the other wants to too its really getting to me i bought them some things the same in different colour to try to get them used to being a bit different but they hate them my not want them ones they say!!! bless!!

Hi There! I dont have twins, but have 2 boys, aged 8 and 4, and I am pregnant with my 3rd child, and clothing can cost a fortune. I tend to look on Vertbaudet.co.uk and also Laredoute.co.uk, see whats in the sale and then apply discount codes, which can make the prices drop down to an affordable amount. Have a look at Hotdealsuk.com find your shop you wish to purchase from and see if there are any discount codes.
Hope this helps and good luck!

What about Asda? My children are adults, but I still look at the kiddies clothes in Asda as I can't believe what good quality they are and how cheap!
