Hi all, I gave birth to beautiful twins a week ago. My little girl was in an incubator for the entire first day but is now home and my little boy has yet to come home from the hospital, although we are expecting him in the next few days. I have been trying to breastfeed, as i planned to do throughout the pregnancy, but am now encountering problems. In the hospital the girl was fed by bottle, and I only had the opportunity to breastfeed a few times. Now at home I can get her latched but she seems to suck forever, sometimes for an hour and is still hungry afterwards. At the last feeding she went for 2 hours, but was finally satisfied. With the little boy coming home soon I a super worried about getting him established on the breast, he has only been feed by bottle. I am trying to pump after each feeding with the girl to keep my milk suppy up, but often I am only getting an oz at each pumping. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated! HELP, I dont want to give up and go to the bottle without exhausting every effort.

Thanks

I think breastfeeding is healthier for the baby...Bottle feeding is also one support except breastfeeing.Through breastfeeding moms could save money as well as they will more get in touch with their baby.

For me,there is a big difference between breastfeeding and bottle feeding but it always depend on every mother's choice.I much love to see moms breastfeeding their babies because it is how the motherhood really explain.

yah i agree that breastfeeding is still the best way to feed up your baby... because i am a proud breastfed baby... breastmilk is organic or i should say healthier than formula milk that is made up of different chemical formulation

i agree with breast feeding..Synflex liquid glucosamine, an all--natural supplement, was created to alleviate arthritis symptoms while restoring damaged joints.

breastfeeding moms could save money with their baby.Apple would be better suited to try to market the free ipad as something that could be used in schools or could be used as a way to revolutionize how we read our news every morning.

I think the best thing is to get on a schedule of either feeding or pumping. This should help you increase and sustain your milk supply. If you still aren't able to produce enough milk, you may want to talk with their doctor about how to do both milk and formula.
