I am feeling much more confident now. I did attend a BF class a couple of weeks ago but it was a large group and I really didnt get to ask many questions before it was over.
I haven't heard of expressing colostrum before birth before. I do have a little amount of colostrum starting (along with enlargement lol) so I will look into that further. A question though, if I hand express the colostrum would that be likely to start early labour? I really want them to stay in as long as possible!
I am interested also in feeding one at a time, everyone has told me to do it all at the same time, BF, change, put down to sleep etc so its nice to know that you can do it seperately if needed. I did mention at the BF class that I was hoping to express so that hubby can help out with one twin if needed but was told that there are other things Dad can do and feeding is soley the mothers job when bf'ing. Did anyone find this hard with the changing of the nipple vs bottle? Or would you say stick to one way? If all else fails and I simply cannot feed, I am hoping to still express at least for the first 3-6 months.
Sorry for sounding so clueless I guess I am now trying to get my head around it all after being given a date for the cs. Its come around so quick
Well done on the feeding ladies, I hope I have success stories like yours soon!
