How is it going? Are you still trying to BF your twins? Mine are 13 months old now and we're still BFing - it has not been easy but I think it's very worth it. Have you read the breastfeeding forum on twinstuff.com? there's lots of great help there. good luck - I'm sure you'll come to the balance that feels right for you.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168704988026789910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211437479364205557.post-1561022080589495812008-10-31T12:39:00.000-04:002008-10-31T12:39:00.000-04:00I have been there.

I stored my milk and mixed it with formula until the Easter when the kids were 5 months old. I was exhausted. Believe me, I know how hard it can be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211437479364205557.post-40714474465092535602008-10-21T20:16:00.000-04:002008-10-21T20:16:00.000-04:00I know its hard, but try not to let the guilt get ...I know its hard, but try not to let the guilt get to you. I fought with myself about BFing Lemy more times than I would like to admit because it was hard and she wasn't the easiest baby to feed--and I only have one baby to worry about. <BR/><BR/>My only assvice is to go with your gut. You have given them a great start with the colostrum and you can only do what you can do. If going to the bottle is going to make you happier than switch...they will be happier with a relaxed mommy who doesn't feel like she's being pulled in a million different directions. <BR/><BR/>Another bit of assvice and then I'll shut up...If you can and want to pump at work, then I think its worth a shot. I would also try Fenugreek supplements (you can get them at GNC) and alfalfa to help stimulate your supply again.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with whatever you decide. I know its hard. Trust me, I know it all so well. ((HUGS))RBandRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018306370247688896noreply@blogger.com
