Thinking about baby toys. What is developmentally healthier for twins, should I be getting 2 of every toy I purchase, or would it be better to buy them different toys or just buy the toys and make them share everything? I worry that they will grow up feeling that nothing is really theirs. I just want to be a good mom.

Twins can be tough. I think that what you have to decide is what takes priority with you first. Helping with their developmental stages or teaching them to share?
Teaching morals may be easier to teach as they get older and they can better understand the concepts.

So you think duplicates in the beginning and then slowly teach them to share and cut back to only one of each toy? But I can't really wrap a present and address it to them both, should I just buy toys and divide them equally between the two names once they've reached the sharing age? Maybe I'll luck out and end up with a boy and a girl and this won't be so much of an issue. I think it's going to be the biggest issue to deal with if I have two girls.
