Tandem BFers...

kegkeg member

Up to this point, when I tandem feed I use the EZ2Nurse pillow and have both DDs in clutch position.  However, they are starting to get long enough that their legs are hanging off the ends of the pillow.  How did you tandem feed when they got too big for the pillow (or if you never used it)?  TIA!

  • When mine were bigger my default position was always the cross cradle hold, no pillows, just put my legs up on the coffee table if I needed more support.
  • I BF'd up until a couple of weeks ago (the boys are 8 & 1/2 months now) and I just continued to use the EZ2Nurse and the football posistion ( I think that's the same as the clutch?).  Their legs did hang off, but they didn't seem to mind.  I tried feeding them while sitting on the floor with pillows behind me and under their feet, but it usually took about 10 minutes to get 'set up' and then we were always repositioning and I don't think we ever really got comfortable.

  • I've only done the football so far and it's not my favorite.
  • Football hold with two regular sized bed pillows or over sized throw pillows. Still works great. :-)

  • I still tandem BF. Their legs still off the back of the pillow but I just angle them out and they don't seem to mind at all. :-)
