How does it work logistically to feed two babies?

I feed on demand or at least every two hours during the day. At night, if one baby wakes up, I will wake the other twin so I can tandem feed them at the same time. My husband wakes up as well and he helps by handing me each baby while I am already sitting in the chair. Then, we burp the babies and cross our fingers they will both go back to sleep so we can sleep too! 

I know some twin moms keep a breastfeeding journal but since I feed them at the same time, I don’t have to worry about either baby missing a feed.  

How do you get the support you need to comfortably feed and hold the twins?  

I was pleasantly surprised that my bbhugme Pregnancy Pillow has doubled as a breastfeeding pillow for me. I’m able to wrap the pillow around me and support one twin per side with my arms resting comfortably on the pillow. The pregnancy pillow has also come in handy for contact naps (which my twins love) by providing me with upper body support for my head, neck, and shoulders. My husband loves the support the pillow gives him for contact naps, too! 

If I am nursing one twin at a time, the Nursing Pillow is great for laid back nursing. This is a nursing position that allows mom to recline with the baby on top of her. It is a relaxing position for both mom and baby, but my arm still needs additional support. This is where the nursing pillow comes in handy.  

What are your must-have/survival items for feeding twins?  

I recommend having a power recliner chair so you can comfortably get into the right position for laid-back feeding and tandem feeding. As mentioned above, I use the bbhugme Pregnancy Pillow for tandem feeding and contact naps and the bbhugme Nursing Pillow for feeding one baby at a time. With twins, it is good to have options. Sometimes, you will want tandem feed. Sometimes, you won't. So it's great to have multiple pillows and nursing stations throughout the house!  

It is also helpful to have a swing or bouncer nearby so you can feed one and have the other comfortably upright and within your view so you can engage, smile, or sing a song with the baby who is not currently feeding.
