Schedule?

How do you keep your twins on the same schedule when they don't seem to be satisfied with the breast? Mine are almost 3wks and at one feeding one twin will fill up within 15min. And be good for the next three hrs while the other eats, burps needs to be changed and then eats again. The whole processes takes over an hr. the next feeding it switches and the other twin is not satisfied. Eventually I assume they are full and start pumping so that I can have a supply for night feeding a and when I go back to work only to have one be hungary and end up taking 2oz ebm from the bottle while I pump.
When will they be satisfied at the breast? and when will my milk regulate so that I am not needing to pump or have a child on me every three hrs?

Re: Schedule?
Bc I know that my boys are getting enough [theyre gaining and have lots of wet and poopy diapers], it's not so much that they aren't satisfied when nursing but sometimes they just want to hang out and suck. The fussy one is full but unsettled, so he continues to nurse.
The entire process easily takes 45 min to an hour and they eat every three hours around the clock, so I have at most two hours of down time in between feedings even in the middle of the night. It's rough, I'm not gonna lie.
