How do you breastfeed twin babies? Short answer, one at a time. Long answer, you put 2 pillows on your legs and place a baby on each pillow and breast feed them both at once. I saw this in the book "what to expect when you're expecting". they have a visual pic too.

I have TWO breasts!
by: Anonymous

I live near my husbands family in which we were probably the first couple to choose breastfeeding in the past 30 years with our first son. We are now 25 weeks along with twin girls and I have started hearing, "Are you going to breastfeed them too? But how?" If it was triplets I might understand your confusion but HELLO! I have 2 boobies!

Yeah,

I usually point out that I have two breasts and so God made it so I could feed two mouths simultaneously...

then I have relatives that are in the non-BF generation who don't understand how the whole supply/demand thing works...so I find myself explaining that who scenario because they're worried that I won't have enough milk for two...
