Has the 6y/o lost any milk teeth? And did it affect their latch?
Do they feed together or all seperately?
Do they feed less the older they get or does it depend?
Are they having cows milk too (other than in other food) or just human milk for drinks?
Have you found they seem to get ill less than their peers?
Will they sleep without feeding?
Sorry having a curious moment Grin

Well, it would save time if you were feeding more than two but I bet it would be a bugger finding a bra that fits.

i feed them separately find the time to bond really refreshing i love it am getting judged about it but am still staying strong my babies have had less illnesses than peers JollyJumpingJelly ill answer your other questions all of them still feed the same amount they have cows milk sometimes they do sleep without the breast milk sometimes they can get a bit grumpy

Why do you still do it for the older ones if you don't mind me asking?

Sounds like you made right decision! I was told it would be difficult to feed twins, but found the complete opposite. I was very determined though and like a challenge! :)

Do you have to eat lots of calories? I know nutrition not super important for milk production for 1 but wondered about 4!?

Excellent, good for you OP! I want to ask if you're stick thin? Grin I hoped BF would help me lose weight, but it didn't, presumably as I am ravenous, pregnancy and nursing has lost me a bit of weight though, so I'm holding out hope for tandem nursing.... Blush
