So I'm curious. How many of you breastfed your twins?

    18 months here :). And, I had two toddlers too! I did not think it would be possible when I first learned I was pregnant with twins. But, I lucked out with full-term, healthy babies who were good latchers from the start.

    Still going now at almost 7 months, but we do 1 bottle of formula at bedtime.  Always have.

    I do, and I love it.  I am not looking forward to weaning AT ALL.  The first 6 weeks were definitely tough, but now it is so easy.

    I have since my milk came in...the girls were on formula until day 3 in the nicu.  I am doing a combo of nursing and pumping/bottle feeding.  So far it's been manageable.

    Due to NICU time, I have been pumping.  While the boys were in the NICU, I exclusively pumped.  Since they have come home, I have been pumping, nursing, and using formula.  The NICU has me using 2 enfamil enfacare bottles a day.   I just started nursing 3 days ago, and the boys each spent about 30 minutes total nursing today.  It is a lot to keep up with--nursing and pumping, but I feel it is worth it.   We will see what happens when I go back to work!

    We made it past a year!  I wasn't sure we would when they came home unable to latch, but after pumping for a few weeks we made transition from pumping to bfing.  Wasn't easy in the begining but so glad I stuck with it!

    I ebf until I went back to work. I wasn't able to keep up with them with the pump, though, so now I breastfeed three times per day and they get two bottles of formula.

    Still going strong.  Supplemented with one formula feed daily for the first couple of months and then went to ebf, except a very rare bottle feed which was manually expressed bm--if I was out.  Now still bfing, no bottles, started solids at around 5 and 1/2 months.
