FTM with 3week old twins

I have been trying to get them to breast at every feed and they are not taking.  I have even used breast sheilds.  Is it to late for them to learn to breast feed? My pedi said that at least one feeding a day make them go to breast and if they don't then don't give them a bottle.  I find that a little harsh. 

They were born 4 weeks early so I am figuring that maybe I am too big for them.  I have been pumping but only get about 2-3 oz.  Thats all they eat now but I am worried that once they start eating more I won't produce as much as they need.

Any help is greatly needed.  Thanks.

    Agree. It's probably not too late but you really should get some help from a professional who can watch and teach.
