Hi Trish,

firstly congratulations on the birth of Samuel & Joel!
I would be speaking up to the MW there they really should try and help you feed them at the same time. A lactation consultant wouldnt do any harm either so ask them if they can arrange one for you.
i know it would be a lot different with twins but as odette suggested maybe trying a nipple sheild? When Nixon was born he didnt know how to suck, and when he started it was at a very slow pace, i found the nipple sheild helped him (shape wise) to stay on and continue sucking. But if Joel takes to the bottle ok maybe there is another reason?

i really think they should be helping you tandum feed so when you go home you can keep at it, because otherwise you'd end up feeding one, then the other and never get a break from feeding. do they ring you or anything when the feed times have been changed so you know when to or not to come in?
