I'm new to mumsnet and I've just had twins. They are almost 3 weeks now and I've only bottle feed after the 1st feed. I've had a c section and the blood sugar was low and not enough milk initially so midwife suggested to top up. Their sugar is normal now but I haven't been able to breastfeed ! I've tried stimulating my breasts and expressing but hardly anything comes out. Both breast just fill about 25ml to 30ml which is not even enough for 1 let alone 2! I'm quiet worried, they are gaining weight and are healthy with formula fed milk but I really want to breastfeed them !
Should I continue still trying to breastfeed ( to which they make faces now as the supply is very low) or just give up trying and bottle feed with formula ?? Please help !!!
