Posted by Renae Woodard Don't have too high of expectations of yourself or the babies for the first TWO or maybe even THREE months. It does get easier when they start sleeping longer stretches. For us it was about 2 1/2 mos. If you choose to breastfeed try not to feel guilty if you need to supplement with formula or swith to strictly formula at any point. We felt the thing that worked the best for us as far as nighttime feedings go is you and your husband "pick a baby" at bedtime. Whatever "your" baby does in the night is your responsibility. They slept in the same crib in our room for about 3 1/2 mos. At that point we felt they were disturbing each other too much so we moved them into their own room and into their own cribs. They do share a room though. We eat on paperplates nearly everynight. HUGE time saver. I have a twins breastfeeding pillow that I bought at Lactation Station. It is in new condition I will sell it for $25. They sell at Lactation Station for $49 Call if you have questions or need to talk. I'm not an expert but I do know how I felt in the beginning, talking to others who have been there helps a lot. 435-882-6402
