Reddit reviews My Brest Friend Twins Plus Deluxe Nursing Pillow, Green, 0-12 Months

A double nursing pillow. If she plans to nursing it is essential and even if she doesn't intend to nurse it's great for feedings and cuddling with the babes. I bought one on my pediatrician's advice on the day I brought my twins home from the hospital and used it continuously until they were a year old.

We had this one which has pockets for your water bottle, phone, snacks, etc. and also a back strap to keep it from getting away from you.

My Brest Friend for twins - my friends with twins love these. http://www.amazon.com/My-Brest-Friend-Deluxe-Nursing/dp/B0032Z81M4

They also like the Snap n Go double stroller frame. Fits 2 of almost any car seat.

Also I second the swing(s). It's a life saver!

I'm currently nursing my twin daughters - they're 7.5 weeks. During the first couple weeks, I fed them individually... but, I felt like I had no time to do anything but feed them, so I started tandem feeding to cut down the time. At this point, we tandem feed 95% of the time. There are times during the day when I'll feed one of my daughters individually because the other is sleeping... but, if it's close to feeding time, I'll wake them both up to eat. I always tandem feed at night - I find that I get more sleep that way!!

I use the My Brest Friend Twins Plus Deluxe Nursing Pillow and I love it! I found this video really helpful as well... I use a similar approach except I have one twin up against the arm of the couch (so they can't fall off) with one boppy on the other side. I also wedge receiving blankets on either side of them to give them more stability and make it harder for them to roll off - this makes it easier to tandem feed when I'm by myself (since it's a lot easier to have my husband around to hand them to me!).

There are times when my breasts are pretty squishy and I've never felt that my daughters have a hard time breathing... particularly with the double nursing pillow.

The only other advice I have is that it gets easier! The first two weeks were really hard for me... I'm a FTM, so that may have played a role as well. At times I wanted to give up breastfeeding all together, but I am so glad I pushed through! When I was feeling particularly overwhelmed, we supplemented with formula and bottle fed pumped breast milk a few times. At first, it made me feel like a failure, but I believe giving myself a few breaks in the beginning is what helped me be so successful at 2 months in...

If you have any other questions, please ask! And good luck with everything!! :o)

Looks great.... I have 16 mo old twins. The beginning is really rough, but there's some amazing payoff as they get older.

A few suggestions:

• We had our girls crib together for the first 3 months or so. We kept one crib in our room and one in the nursery. During the day they would sleep in the nursery; at night they would sleep in our room so we could get to them faster and easier in the middle of the night.
  
  

• Glad to see you have Boudreaux -- when you need that stuff, you REALLY need it.
  
• You may want to get rid of that baby powder. They do not recommend using it anymore because all the dust it throws in the air can be bad for the babies' lungs.
  
• You may want to replace the basket next to the glider with a table so mom can have a drink or some food. Also good place to put the pump (if she decides to pump).
  
• My wife chose to feed in the living room, so we quickly moved the glider there. It gets lonely pretty quickly to sit there and feed all day without people or TV to keep you company.
