Hi all,

How do you prop up your babies for tandem feeding and/or after feeding to let the milk go down? Atm I'm feeding all triplets separately but would like to start doing two together eventually. And I prop them up in Moses basket after feed but they do tend to topple so looking for a more reliable solution!

Am thinking boppy vs widgey, but other inventive solutions welcomed!

Bouncy chairs?

V shaped pillow? Wedged in the corner of the sofa with pillows? I know both of these options worked for a friend with twins so should be doable for three

Bouncy chair within foot reach. Just the cheap basic kind. By (gently) tapping foot against bottom wire bit of chair you can set up gentle rock of chair. This can work magic to distract / calm / burp baby, hands free.

Fisher price baby to toddler infant rockers. By far the rest thing we had and I wish we had had them from the very beginning. They vibrate, you can rock them, you can feed them both in them once they get a bit bigger, they are supportive enough to put them in when tiny, we used them for weaning when mine still couldn't properly and they only took their naps in them until we finally got them into the cot at about 11 months.

Leachco podster cushion from Amazon US, the best thing I bought for the twins, could not have done without it, shipping costs a bit so buy them all in one go to save money. They were simply fantastic. Feeding was so easy and they were so comfy they would sleep in them. They are a bit like the boppy but have a netting like cradle underneath. I would also chuck them in the car when visiting grandparents etc made life a lot simpler.

Bouncy chairs for us, when they got big enough I could use blanket to prop bottled up you'd be able to do all 3 then

I used a boopy cushion or whatever you call them for DD1 who had reflux so needed to sit up after feeds. But actually from about 14 weeks I fed them lying down led to slightly embarrassing incident in London Zoo cafe when they were 18m and still taking a lunchtime bottle, they saw me getting bottles out and both lay down on the cafe floor
