weight watchers points for bf twins?

Anyone know how many extra points you get for breastfeeding twins? I can't find my book that had how many you got for breastfeeding and then am wondering if you get more for EBF two of them.

When I did it online it didn't give me the option to choose how many babies I was breastfeeding...which I didn't think was too fair.  Anyway, I got about 10 extra points per day for just choosing breastfeeding.   I personally don't think it was enough but....I was ALWAYS hungry when I was breastfeeding.

Yeah you get the 10 pts for BFing one, but I kinda assume they don't give you more for BFing two because a lot of moms of singletons will pump one side while feeding on the other. I tried doing WW while I was nursing DD, but my body held onto all the weight and it wasn't until I stopped BFing that I started to lose weight.  If you go to meetings ask your leader.

3.5m after JR was born I did WW and got 10 extra points. I tried WW again when the twins were 1m, gave myself 15 point and my supply TANKED. I'm not sure if I didn't give myself enough point or if it was just too soon, I really regret that. O was never able to make enough after that.
