Hi I have 2 week old dcda girls. After much much effort on both our parts during 5 days in hospital and some time afterwards, twin 2 just doesn't seem compatible with breastfeeding. I have now given up as it's stressing us both out- we had a little try again this evening which led to the same frustrations. So I'm expressing now and she has 50/50 BM/formula. Twin 1 is ebf and doing really well. I love bf and don't want to stop as although it will probably make life easier I would just be gutted.
Anyone found themselves in this situation? Maybe it's quite common? If so any tips/encouraging tales? I'm finding it so difficult when alone and they (quite often) wake up together. I wouldn't really want them out of sync as the nights would be horrendous as they're both slow messy feeders. Thanks in advance.
