Help! Twins feeding every hour at 4 months

Does anyone have any advice for how to get my twins to take fuller feeds and go for longer in between feeds? Apart from when they're napping, they feed every hour in the day, only for about 7-10 mins. It's knackering and makes me quite housebound!

Not got any experience of feeding twins. You could try breast compressions to see if they'll take more?

Not qualified enough to give much useful advice but want to say well done - I have an almost 4 month old DS and that’s bloody exhausting, never mind two of him!

My LO likes to nap at the boob so making sure he stays awake and encourage as long of a feed as he will take helps him go longer.

Good luck Smile

Do they have dummies?
