Try tandem nursing your twins

Try tandem feeding if you haven't already. Get one baby latched comfortably in a football hold, prop up that baby's head and back with a rolled/folded up blanket, then latch on the second baby (also in football hold), remembering to also prop/support his/her head and back with another blanket as well. It will give you rest between feedings, they get the milk letdown reflexes going for each other when nodding off to sleep, and best of all, you may notice the bond they share as twins. There is nothing more special than watching your babies hold hands while feeding!

I would also recommend using a twin nursing pillow if you can. The regular breastfeeding pillows are OK, but don't provide as much support. I have an Nurse EZ Plus Twin Nursing Pillow
which raises the twins up slightly higher, is firmer so they don't sink down, has a belt to attach behind you, and is wider on the sides to fit both babes.

My last recommendation is about a double stroller. I found a great "double snap 'n' go" frame (from Toys 'r' Us-was able to get it on sale for about $100.00). It is compatible with most infant car seats-mine are Peg Peregos. The babies face you-one in front, the other in back. It is soooooo easy to open and fold down again. Great for the short time they are still in infant car seats.

I also purchased a fabulous side-by-side stroller- The Baby Jogger City Mini. You cannot click in the infant seats, so it will be great for later on when the snap-n-go is no longer useful. Easy to open, and folds down quickly. Larger wheels, glides smoothly, and is narrow enough to fit through most doorframes. Lightweight, has 2 separate canopies, and comes in lots of great colours.

All the best! Enjoy your double blessings!
