Yes- I'm exclusively breastfeeding the twins. 

- that's been the reaction of many!

Loads of folk are telling me how hard it must be but to be honest I can't imagine juggling all the bottles I'd need to make up if I was bottle feeding.  I'm finding it easier actually this time around.  Yup, I'm tired, but most new mums are, especially of twins.  Fingers crossed I'll be able to keep going and keep finding it easy!

And-the best thing so far has to be that, in a fortnight, they're over their birth weights and- I'm back in my pre-pregnancy trousers!

WoW!  Thats fantastic, Lucky lady being in your pre pregnancy pants so soon after losing you gigantic twin bump lol

Its great to hear the twins are gaining weight well.

You sound really upbeat and positive much more so than before the births - which is ment in a really nice way. 

I saw a pic of them in your gallery and Lynie they are lovely

Well done Lynie.

Its amazing that lots of twin mummys are put of breastfeeding by everyone telling them how hard it will be. As you say it must be just as difficult with bottles!

They are so gorgeous! And you are all doing so well!

Do you feed them both at the same time or one at a time?

I only managed to feed my boys for 4 weeks, coz it was draining sooo much energy out of me, but it was a lovely experience. I ll never forget them feeding at the same time and staring at each other as though they were thinking, " who are you?"
As for pre pg trousers.... I m still not back in mine and the boys are now 7!!!!!!!
Well Done Lynnie, keep it up girl!!

Hey Lynn,
I knew if anyone could feed twins successfully it would be you. You
always have the right attitude and are the most accommodating mum I
know. As for the trousers - find a pair and let's head out to the Malt!( or
Asda - whatever's easier)
Hope to see you and the Taylor Clan again soon.
