Nursing Twins

Nursing Twins

Nursing twins is a challenging task but it can be done!

The key is to find a schedule and positioning that works for you. If you prefer to put the babies on opposite schedules, keep in mind that you will be feeding someone every hour to hour and a half.

If you can master it, you may be able to nurse your twins at the same time. For the first several times, this may require the assistance of another person. Have someone else hold one of the babies while you get one to latch on, then help you position the other.

Moms who are nursing twins often find that their milk supply is not an issue since they are getting the double dose of stimulation from the babies and the extra hormones that provides.

Many women have mastered breastfeeding multiples and found it to be a very fulfilling experience.
