pregnant with twins...formula feed or breastfeed?

Question

Okay so I'm 32 weeks pregnant with twins and a first time mommy :) just wondering if any other twin moms went with breastfeeding or formula feeding after your babies were born? And if you breastfed, how long? Just looking for any advice or feedback to help me make a decision 😊

Answer

my grandmother had twin boys, she breastfed them and said that they were good babies lol. you could try to breastfeed, see how it goes and always pump/ formula if its not working out.

Answer

I've thought about it, and with my first I did half and half. I'm not a fan of breastfeeding. I actually disliked it, personally. everyone do what you want, not my boobs. but I thought if I had twins, I'd only bf directly and supplement as needed until a supply is built, then pump only with formula. I will NOT have two kids constantly attached to my nipples. I could barely stand having my son breastfeed. and never feel guilty for your decision. happy mom, happy baby. everyone else can mind their own boobs. that's my PERSONAL plan if this pregnancy ends up being twins (doubtful but not impossible).

Answer

My sister in law had twins and she breastfed them for about 4 months but felt like she was just a milk cow because they would get off on schedules and she never got any rest! I'm not sure if she just pumped after that or not though. But I totally understand why she wanted to stop! Yes the milk is good for babies but mamas sanity is a big part, too!
