Twin Moms..

kristingregoire

Almost three months ago I was blessed with the most wonderful little twins.  They have received breast milk either from a bottle or from BF since birth.  It has been quite the struggle but I would like to try to go as long as we can on breast milk.  I have a few questions...
Does anyone pump and breast feed?  How often do you feed from the breast (times per day?

My appetite is ravenous.  I cannot seem to keep up.  Is anyone else experiencing this??  I am worried about gaining alot of weight with the amount my appetite has increased.

Will this get easier as foods are introduced??

 

Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Hi kristingregoire,

My twins are just 3 weeks old so I'm not quite as experienced as you.  I have one baby on BM and the other is a lazy eater so she mainly gets BM but gets a 1 or 2 FB to get enough food in her.  I tend to pump 2 or 3 times a day.  I do it mostly at night to speed up the feedings. I typically only get 2 oz per boob.  I'm wondering when my boobs will start making more since the babies usually eat 3-4 oz bottles now.  i have no idea how many times I BF....it seems like all day long...maybe 10 times per baby.  I will try and count today, 

Eating:  I was told to eat like I was still pregnant and am but have been losing weight. I am not 25lbs lighter then before pregnancy.

How often are you pumping & BF?
