Just wanted to know if I'm not the only one Smile

Yup I sure do...The hubbs works third shift so he feeds the little man when he gets home so I can sleep in a little.

I do, it is great to not be the only one who can feed LO.

That is probably the main reason I do both as well. He works night shift(10pm-7pm) so when he's at work I usually get like 2-3hr sleep then he comes home and takes over so I can squeeze in another 2-3hr nap before he needs to head on to bed himself.

Yep, we offer LO add'l breastmilk in a bottle after breastfeeding...

Yup - I mostly bottlefeed breastmilk to the twins - it's so much easier and less stressful than trying to breastfeed them both when no one else is there to help me take care of the other one.

I feed right from the breast at home and from the bottle when I'm out. I am far too modest to NIP, although I am open to the fact that it may be necessary at some point.

I pump once in the morning and catch on the side I don't nurse on first so DH can give DS a bottle before he goes to work in the morning (it's tax season and he's a CPA, so he takes the 3amish feeding). Catching milk has been so worth it because I have been able to freeze some milk...DH and I just might get a day away to ourselves for my birthday in March!
