  My boys are 7 months and we're still tandem nursing, particularly at night and for MOTN wakings.  For the final nursing session before bed, I sit in our giant recliner with one baby in a cradle hold and the other baby in a football hold.  They're tall enough that whomever is in the football hold has his legs tucked up in a sitting position against the arm of the chair.  The only issue we run into there is that Twin A has a head full of hair and Twin B loves to touch it and occasionally pull it, so I try to put B in the football position so he won't mess with A's hair.  

  For MOTN, we use the pillow.  They're both so tired and focused on eating that distractions aren't an issue.  

  Most daytime feedings are done solo.  They each prefer the one-on-one time and Twin A flat out refuses to nurse on the pillow unless he's super famished. 

  Twin boys due 7/25/12

  I stopped tandem around that age because they were too big. I fed them one at a time till 12ish months when they started insisting to eat when they saw the other eating. So now we tandem again but without a pillow side they can sit on their own
