Who has or is planning to breastfeed.

Question

I was wondering if anyone successfully breastfed a set of twins or multiples. How did you keep up your milk supply and what step are you going to take if you never have breastfed. I would like to breastfeed my twin boys and not worry about not having enough.

Answer

🙋🏻I am currently breastfeeding my twins. They are 8 months old and have been exclusively breastfed the entire time. Feel free to ask any questions I know how overwhelming the idea can seem.

Answer

My friend just had boy/girl twins and she is ebf. From talking with her it's easiest in the beginning to tandem feed. They will get your supply where they need it. It's a lot of work and exhausting but doable as long as you have support. Good luck! I think moms of twins are saints!

Answer

I'm planning on breastfeeding my twins. I exclusively breastfed my son and I know I was hungrier when I was breastfeeding than when I was pregnant. I'm planning to drink a lot of fluids and tandem nurse if I can. Also, after a feed I'll probably pump a little to keep up my supply.  I'm planning to watch videos on YouTube to see how someone actually latches 2 newborns.

Answer

Im going to attempt but I have pcos, which could affect milk supply. I want to buy My Breast Friend Twins Pillow but don't want to spend the money in case it doesn't work out.

Answer

I exclusively pump Breastmilk for my twins. It has worked better for our family because it allows my husband to help me take care of them

Answer

I'm planning on bfing this baby. I tried with my first but he wouldn't latch.

Answer

I'm planning on nursing these two!  I successfully nursed my singleton for 15 months.  Didn't have issue with supply with her.  I did have an issue with my milk coming in soon enough, so I have a supplementation plan in place for the twins.  I also won't be as scared of formula as I was with my first. I'm not looking forward to the first few months but it gets so much easier once supply is established and kiddos are a little bigger and sleeping longer stretches. My mom will be here for at least a month and she's determined to help me get off to a good start :).
