    Hi Boobie!

    Welcome to BB. Wow BFing twins.....it always conjures up images of a Ganesh type woman with extra arms serenely suckling her babes.

    Maybe I'm weird....

    Congratulations BisB. That is fantastic news, well done. And thank you for sharing that. A friend of mine from the ABA is pg with twins and determined to bf. I will let her know of your success.

    Oh that is just great news to hear. I am hoping to bf and while I do have quite a few problems with bf, I managed to bf DS for 11mths, so am hoping to be able to when the twins come along.

    Good on you BisB. What a fabulous, positive story!
    Helen, when are your babies due? Many women worry that they won't have enough milk for 2 - but that is very rarely the case! Our bodies make milk for two just fine. There's no doubt the sheer workload of having twins is considerable, regardless of you you feed them - mums of twins do an incredible job.

    B isB - do you have any hot tips for mums of twins?

    Thanks Barb, they are due Dec 13th, but due to be born at the latest 2 weeks before that. I have just brought a pro-breastfeeding twin book which will arrive in the mail next week, so I look forward to reading all of their ideas and tips.
