hi all,
just a question re milk supply when breastfeeding twins - hoping someone will be able to enlighten me if they have any experience of this.
i've got 8 week old boy/girl twins who i am breastfeeding. after a difficult start it's now going quite well.
dtb seems to be hungrier than dtg and if i am ever feeding him on his own (i often tandem feed), when he has finished on one boob i never know whether to put him on the second (if i do, he always takes it) because i am aware that his sister will want to feed more or less straight after and i don't want there to be nothing left for her. is the boob actually 'empty' or does the milk come in immediately when they start sucking? someone told me it takes 45 mins for milk to come back in once emptied, don't know where they got that from though.
any thoughts greatly appreciated!
