sore boobs

[teenwithtwins]

Hi I'm Madi, 16 years old from sydney Australia and proud momma of beautiful twin girls. I gave birth on December 7,2011.
I breast feed both of my kids, at the same time! And now my boobs are so sore! So sore. What can I do to make em feel better? :(

Go to a breast feeding cafe near you and let them double check you're latching the girls on properly and use Lanolin after each feed. Stick with it! And don't feel silly about going to the breast feeding clinic several times if you feel you need their ongoing help, in my experience they are lovely and more than happy to help no matter how often you turn up!

Congratulations Madi

Agree with Jokat about a breastfeeding cafe, do you have much support/help from family & friends? Also try reposting in the multiples forum there is a fantastic twin mum called Mars who will no doubt have some great advice. In the UK there is TAMBA who you can call for advice, have you googled to see if there are similar services in Oz?

You can definitely do it though, I breastfed my twins until 12.5 months, I bought an Ez2nurse breastfeeding pillow but was lucky that I didn't really struggle with pain. I hope you get some help and it's successful for you
