I'm guessing this has been asked before but wanted to ask a couple of things. I've got twins and at the moment they have breastfeeds first thing, mid-am, around 1.30, around 4 (in the process of dropping this one), then before bed and a fair few times in the night (varies with teething etc). I know not to stop suddenly to avoid mastitis if possible so I'm dropping the 4pm one gradually - as with other feeds this is often a case of I forget and they don't remind me! I'm going back to work in Feb so ideally would like them not to need to breastfeed in the day while I'm at work, they'll be just over a year old. So a couple of questions - should I replace breastfeeds with snacks? - they have 3 meals per day at the moment. They feed to sleep usually - any tips for phasing this out esp for naps? I'm not into controlled crying at all, am trying things from No Cry Seep Solution e.g. Gentle removal plan but doesn't always work too well with twins. I want to make their transition to nursery as easy as possible though so feel I need to make some changes. Thanks in advance.
