I am thinking about br___tfeeding my twins after delivery. Is it harder to br___tfeed twins? Or should I stick to the bottle. I will be alone and I am afraid of exhausting myself. Any advice?

I personally don't know, but on one of those baby shows on TLC, a women was b___stfeeding twins and she never left her chair. I think you have to be very dedicated to doing so. You can always give it a try.

I agree with Kathryn it will be alot of work yes you may never leave your chair for 6 weeks. Maybe bottle and breasr will be best. Contact LL.org for some answers to your Q. I never bf twins but tramdon nursed,two kids two yrs apart.

I say do as much as you can.... don't kill yourself over it. Maybe one day you could b/f one and the next day the other. If that gets too hard then you could just say that you tried your best :)

Hi Maggie, I am also pregnant with twins, I want to try and b___st feed as much as I can!! (I could only feed my now 2 year old son for 5 months, cause I wasnt making the milk for him) But I think that I will also use the bottle! Maybe do the b___st, than bottle, or b___st one at a time & bottle the other!!! Good luck with it!! :))
