How do you feed your twins?

Question

And why did you make that decision?
I have 4 week old twins who I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding but am struggling and would love to hear other mommas are navigating this part of twin motherhood. I also have a two year old that I exclusively breastfed for a year, but twins are a whole other ball game!

Answer

My twins are 3 weeks and I’m exclusively breastfeeding so far. It gets crazy in the evenings when they are both cranky and want to cluster feed but I’m trying to hang in there. Not only for the health benefits to babies but for the fact that I’m probably not going to return to work and I imagine formula for 2 babies would be so expensive and were already on a tight budget

Answer

I did BF pumping and supplementing around 30% with formula for the first 3 months. 
I always thought I wasn’t going to like to BF and I was indeed right. It was just not for me and I was sooooo unhappy all the time, I couldn’t enjoy motherhood because everything revolved around my boobs and the milk production. I have very big boobs and it was impossible! I had to hold the boob, the babies head, pinch the nipple, wake the baby up...🤦🏻‍♀️😩
At 3m I switched to formula and it was the best decision ever.
Moms who exclusively BF you’re rock stars and I know it’s amazing for the babies but I just couldn’t do it. In my case fed was best because my babies need a happy mom over everything else.
They are now almost 9m and suuuuper healthy cuties!
