So I've been tandem feeding my girls so far, but we've been having some issues. It seems as though one of them prefers formula, and does much better with it. I have a feeling that if I start giving her only formula, sooner than later I will start giving her sister all formula too.
Anyway, if you bottle/formula feed/fed your twins, did you feed them at the same time? If so, did you just prop them both up in boppys and feed them? (This seems like it would be the easiest, but maybe you have a better way to do it?) Also, what do you do about burping during the bottle? Does the twin that isn't getting burped or fed get super fussy/start crying while they are waiting 'their turn' or is there an easy solution to this, too?
I have literally been going on a couple hours of sleep a day trying to figure out whats wrong with my girls, and I think that it's something with my milk as the formula has made Ariana seem like a totally different, more comfortable baby. I just want some tips on how to make bottle/formula feeding both of them as easy as possible.
TIA!
Re: If you do/did bottle feed your twins...
There is a post titled "Twin Moms: Tell me your methods for when you're double teamed... " a few posts down that answers this same question
I bottle feed both of my girls, I feed them at the same time to keep them on the same schedule. There are many ways to do it, whichever is most comfortable for you. I think the most popular is boppy pillows and propping. You can take turns burping them. GL!
ETA: Sorry wrong post title here the first time, corrected it!
