i used the ezy to feed pillow but found it a bit awkward as my kids were different sizes. The taddy apparently is far better and easier to use. Have you tried your local Mulitple birth Association to see if anyone is selling on second hand. They are usually heaps cheaper. If you are interested, I get the newsletters from all around Australia as i do research for my local club. I can try and keep my eyes out for one near you. Just let me know.
Feeding them together is such a time saver. From day one i made sure the my two did everything at the same time. it at least gave me some time to catch my breath. If one woke for a feed, then I woke the other. it worked really well.
I mainly expressed in the end as my twins were so small and weight was such a big issue. That way i ensured that they always go enough. I also found that freezing any excess EBM that you can is also a godsend for when the want a little extra and your supply hasn't caught up. The best thing i found to freeze it is was urine speciman bottles-lolol as the hold just over 100mls which is a perfect size. I also found that an electric pump was a godsend - which you can hire through the nursing mothers assoc. or some multiple birth groups hire cheaply as well. heaps cheaper than the chemists.
Good luck and if you have any other questions -just holla!!
p.s don't you just feel like mooing sometimes -lololol
