Are you interested in breast feeding twins but you don’t know where to start? We’re here to help! Twiniversity is the #1 global resource and support network for parents of twins. We’ve got you covered for what you need to know for breast feeding twins through their first year… and beyond! Many pregnant moms of multiples worry that they won’t be able to breast feed for two but we’re here to tell you that breast feeding twins is absolutely possible! With the right support and resources, you and your twinnies can enjoy a fulfilling breast feeding twins experience.

First of all, you need to know going into it that breast feeding twins will take a lot of hard work, dedication, and a bit of luck. You will need a supportive partner, a good lactation consultant and/or breastfeeding support group, and a lot of will power. But if you are determined to do this, you will find you have a lot of support within the Twiniversity community to help you along your breast feeding twins journey. Thousands (if not millions) of women have breast fed twins before you and you are not alone in your quest!

The next thing you need to know is that many moms who breast feed twins don’t just breast feed — they also pump and bottle feed. Many moms give their babies as much breast milk as they can produce, and then supplement with formula if the need is there. That isn’t to say that you will need to supplement, but just know that it is a viable option if you’re worried you aren’t producing enough breast milk. There are many products out on the market today that can help boost your milk production, including fenugreek, mother’s milk tea, and warm breast pads. And the #1 thing you can do to boost milk supply? Make sure you’re getting enough water and daily calories to produce as much as you can.
