Does anyone have helpful resources/ websites about exclusively breast feeding twins?

Question

I’d like to exclusively breastfeed twins, but have questions about the logistics of timing, making sure both are getting enough nutrients, etc. 
Send me any websites or blogs you found helpful, or tips from your experience!

Tbh I just spoke to my ob about it and they made sure I was set up with a lactation consultant literally minutes after delivery. I’ve been EBF my twins only for like a week or so but I have a couple pounds of breast milk stored already. It’s all about making sure they learn proper latching first and foremost so they don’t create bad habits. Then its just breast feeding on demand the first few days and making it through the cluster feeding  on days 2 and 3 that make your nipples feel like absolute death because they are trying to bring your milk in. Your babies may also lose more weight when you only have colostrum but after your milk comes in they will gain it back quickly.

I am doing that now . I love it ! At first I pumped a lot and Daddy gave them bottles of breast milk when mommy needed to PASS OUT and sleep - id planned to at first to help milk come in ( but it came in perfectly on its own ) but then to make sure I was making enough milk and had some in the freezer “just in case” . I was helpful at the time ... but eventually I stopped pumping when I got into a rhythm after a couple of months. Now I LOVE it. When they babies were tiny I sometimes used a double boppy pillow. Now that they’re older I don’t need it they can just squirm around and each grab a nipple together or separately. I never had latch pain or Nipple pain or any soreness. YAY but I think maybe the breast pump at first allowed my body to get used to part time nursing so when I was full on nursing I was abused to it (?) I dunno . I liked the haakaa and manual pump and electric pump but now those early days are a blur I’m curious what it would’ve been like had I never pumped them but I did have anxiety about keeping up enough flow that they’d never go hungry - and an occasional full nights sleep did me WONDERS. Good luck
