Bottle feeding twins

Stephanie2167

I am currently pumping and bottle feeding my twins. If you're twins are on the same schedule do you feed them at the same time or do one after the other? I usually only feed them together in their boppys if they are both crying to eat. Otherwise I hold and feed them one after the other.

WDYD?

I used to put them both in boppies or bouncy seats, hook up the pump and pump while I fed them at the same time. When they got more mobile it was way easier because they wouldn't let me pump in peace otherwise. I did the same at night, and when my husband was able to do a night feed when I could drop a pump he would do the same as me but obviously without pumping

Ultimately though, whatever works best for you is fine. I know some people prefer the individual attention of feeding them separately. I optimize for efficiency.

I used to do both at the same time during the day and individually at night.

I hold them as often as I can for feedings. but there are plenty of times where I'm on the floor in front of two bouncy seats holding up bottles.

I fed them one at a time (we had huge feeding issues), and then pumped after... the whole affair took about 90 minutes. Unfortunately, I don't look back fondly on those days!

For the first 3 weeks when DH was home with me, we fed them together at the same time. I'd breast feed one & he'd bottle feed the other. The next feeding we'd switch. When he went back to work, I separated their feeding times by 30 min so that I could hold and feed each one individually.

I always feed them at the same time unless DH is home and not busy. Occasionally I have done one after the other but I like to get it over with so we have more play time!

We feed them at the same time, though I pump in between meals. I used to feed them on a double bf pillow, but they're too wiggly for that now : (
Now it's RnPs or at the table in high chairs (Podee bottles--our girls love them!)

We bottle feed our twins. During the day when my DH is at work I feed them individually 30 minutes apart so I get one on one time with each baby. At night when my DH is home we feed them at the same time on a three hour schedule.
