The document discusses the experiences of a mother of premature twins that gave her the idea to create a twin feeding set. Her sons Grant and Gavin were born at 31 weeks due to preeclampsia and spent 6 weeks in the NICU. After coming home, she was worried about them spreading germs and keeping their foods separate due to an apple allergy. Feeding the twins was also stressful, juggling separate bowls and spoons. This led her to create a twin feeding set to make the process easier and allow them to eat favorite foods together without spreading germs. She tested the first model and it enabled her sons to eat meals together without spreading illness.

1. Twin Feeding Set Story
We were so excited when we found out we
were expecting twins. The news came as a
big surprise and so did their arrival. Grant
and Gavin were born at just 31 weeks after
I developed preeclampsia. When they were
born, I did not get to hold them. They were
rushed immediately into the NICU and I
remained in the operating room praying.
That day started my journey as a mother of
twins and the experiences below gave me
the idea for the Twin Feeding Set.
Stopping the Spread of Germs: When we
were able to go home after 6 weeks in the
NICU, we were very happy and nervous.
My babies had entered into this world as warriors and I wanted to do everything in my power to
protect them. Leaving the strict rules of the NICU and heading home made me very worried
about exposing Grant and Gavin to sickness. Parents of premature babies know that colds can be
harsh and in some cases cause permanent damage to a premature baby’s developing lungs. When
my son Gavin got a cold at just 6 months old, I did everything in my power to ensure he got
better quickly and that Grant did not get the same cold.
Keeping foods separate due to allergy: Being a parent makes you want to do the best for your
children. I wanted the best and most healthy foods. I started making purees at home. It was a
great way to save money and ensure only the best ingredients were used. We soon discovered
that Grant loved anything with apples and Gavin did not. Gavin would get an upset stomach
when he ate anything with apple. So ensuring their foods were not confused became important.
Making things a little easier: Feeding twins is so different than feeding a singleton. I always
felt so silly juggling separate bowls and spoons while frantically trying to feed my boys. I also
felt weird using the same spoon and bowl when both boys were healthy, because would you want
to share every meal like that with someone? It was a stressful experience. I hated making them
wait so long in between bites. I searched online to try to find something that would make the
process easier, but was unable to locate anything, so I started looking into doing it myself.These
circumstances gave me the idea for the twin feeding set. We started using the first model of the
twin feeding set for my boys when they were 7 months old and they have yet to spread a cold or
germs. We tested out the product for 6 months before we started to sell them online. The twin
feeding set has enabled them to eat their favorite foods at every meal. It was a dream come true
for us because it turned a stressful time into an enjoyable time for everyone. They can’t imagine
eating any other way and either can I.
