Twins or Multiples
Mothers of twins or multiples might feel overwhelmed with the idea of breastfeeding more than one baby at a time. The benefits of human milk to both these mothers and babies are the same as for all mothers and babies.
Breastfeeding early and often for a mother of multiples is important to keep up her milk supply. A good latch-on for each baby is important to avoid sore nipples. Many mothers find that it is easier to nurse the babies together rather than separately, and that it gets easier as the babies get older. There are many breastfeeding holds that make it easier to nurse more than one baby at a time.
If you have multiples, talk with a lactation consultant about more ways you can successfully breastfeed your baby
