Why I Love Being a Twin Mom: Reason #9

I love to tandem nurse my boys. Tandem nursing is hit or miss with twin moms either enjoying this, or hating it and trying to avoid it. But I fall into the category of the moms who love it!

Ever since they were born, I have primarily tandem nursed my twins, with the help of the Twin-Z pillow. I love doing this, not only because it’s more efficient than nursing one then the other, but because it’s so neat to watch them interact when they are both nursing. They often hold hands, which is adorable, or sometimes look at me, try to look at the other one, touch the other ones face, etc. It’s something I never tire of seeing! Also nursing them at the same time helps to stimulate the letdown by producing the hormone prolactin, so it helps me who struggles with milk supply keep both my boys happy and full.
