Anyone sucessfully EBF twins?

My son is 23 months old and even though I am 99% certain there's no milk he still bfs before his nap and when he gets up in the morning, and once I started bf'ing him I didn't use a bottle, so I'm hoping I can breastfeed, but I don't know how realistic that is.

  • I'm EBF'ing our twins.   Your supply should replenish once the twins are born.

  • Not sure if my input counts since it's been less than 2 weeks, but I have been EBFing.
  • I've been EBFing for just over a month. Just introduced a few bottles of pumped milk at 1 month because I'm going to be going back to work eventually and want to get them used to bottles. I haven't had to give formula ever.

  • I've been EBFing too. I do sometimes give BM in bottles due to sore nipples from a yeast infection.
  • I am EBF our twins but I do have to pump and have DH give bottles.  And at 8 weeks, I started taking an oz out of each bottle I pumped and supplementing with formula so that I could build up a stash for going back to work.  (I now have over 40 oz or enough for 10 bottles, woohoo!)  Its a full time job to breastfeed twins but it can be done.

  • 3 months in and doing great. I had been breastfeeding DD when I got PG with the twins and slowly lost my milk over the 1-2 trimesters. DD was very upset but it couldn't be helped. No supply issues after delivery.
