Seriously--I don't know how he does it, but I can't get the spoon back up to his mouth fast enough for his taste.<BR/><BR/>So the self-limiting thing doesn't work QUITE as well with him as it does for his brother.

We ended up bringing in a lactation consultant who rented us a high tech scale so we could make sure they were getting enough breastmilk. We ended up having to teach them to suck with a haberman bottle and only now at 11 weeks are they beginning to get the breastfeeding thing. <BR/><BR/>My only advice, when one wants to eat, try feeding the other and get them on a schedule. Otherwise you'll be feeding babies all... the... time.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it probably will feel that way anyways.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your twins and good luck!Childsplayx2https://www.blogger.com/profile/14862474335091243574noreply@blogger.com
