Feeding Twins Gives You Twice The Amount Of Happiness

Here Are Some Tips on Feeding Twins

Breast feed your twins as often as you can. There is no substitute for mother’s milk.

In the beginning, you may find the task of feeding your little pair of twins rather difficult. However, some mothers, once they get familiar with their babies’ feeding habits, go on to feed their babies for a whole year or even more.

You will find that, when your babies reach seven to twelve months, they will develop their own tastes. Remember, they both can have different tastes.

Talk to your doctor and take his advice on what is the best formula to feed your twins with, after they stop breast-feeding.

Make two feeding charts for your pair of twins. Make columns for type of meal fed, amount of meal fed, and the feeding schedule.

Each baby may also consume different quantities of feeds. One may eat more than the other. After a few feeds, you will know what your babies’ consumption pattern is.

Prepare their feeds in advance, to avoid a lot of noise at feeding time.

If you want to breast feed in public, go ahead and do it. Do not feel shy or ashamed. It is perfectly legal to breast feed in public. If you find some one staring at you, just ignore the person. And if some one in your family is against you breast feeding in public, please explain to them gently but firmly that breast feeding is a natural phenomenon.

Those were some useful tips on feeding twins. Remember, you have been gifted with twice the amount of joy, so look after your tiny little pair of twins with love and care and breast-feed the babies as often as they like. For more information visit pregnancy period.
