Hello! Can you share how you bottle feed both babies at once? I am putting them in their nap nannies and holding the bottles in their mouths, which has presented it's own challenges, like the twins moving their heads too much to stay put. I try to feed each separately when the opportunity presents itself, but this does not always work when I have two screaming babies. Any suggestions for what works for you?

I put them on a pillow in my lap, swaddled if I have time, back to back, and prop my feet up on my coffee table so they are at a slight incline. That way I can rest my arms on the pillow.
TTC #2 since July 2010
FSH = 11 (20 on day 10 of CCCT)/ AMH = .98 / AFC=12ish
5 IUI's with oral meds = all BFN March 2012 IVF (MDL Protocol) Started stims 3/3; ER 3/11 (9R, 8M, 7F) ET 3/16 (5dt of 2 blasts graded 3AB and 3BA, 3 frosties(!!) Beta 3/26 = 386; Beta 3/28 = 827; u/s 4/11 says TWINS! Boy/Girl Twins delivered at 36 weeks 6 days
Two Boppies (with extra rolled-up blankets for positioning help when they were newborns) and then two bouncy seats. It's tricky but my boys took 45-60 minutes to finish a feed for the first few months, eating every 2.5-3 hrs, so that was just really impractical to feed them one at a time.
Judge away...I put them in the boppies and let them look at what interests them. For example, one LOVES to stare at the TV and one LOVES to look out the window. So I position then in a way that allows them to see those things. I realize this won't work forever, but it does help to keep them focused on eating :.
