What kind of feeding schedule is best to breastfeed twins?
It may be easier to breastfeed each baby alone in the beginning. This gives you a chance to learn how to hold your baby and help each twin learn how to correctly latch-on to your breast. This also gives you a chance to bond with each baby. Switch breasts at each feeding between the 2 babies. This allows equal stimulation needed to keep your milk supply up especially if your babies do not breastfeed the same. Switching sides is also important to help your babies grow and develop. Following are several different feeding schedules that you can use when breastfeeding twins.

But, this type of feeding schedule is very time-consuming and tiring for you.Modified De
