I'm currently bf my week old twins. At night Twin 1 latches for about 20 minutes. I wind and he settles back in his cot. He then stays asleep for about 2 hours.
Twin 2 will latch for 5 minutes, fall asleep & come off. So I wind & try again but there is no waking him! If I put him back in his cot he will wake 15 minute later for another 5 minute latch. I am getting no sleep at all! My partner helps with the winding & nappy changing but he is back in work next week
Any ideas how to get twin 2 to have longer more spaced out feeds! Everyone keeps telling me to bottle feed if he continues but he'd putting on weight well & I really want to bf!
Thanks
