Comment on Breastfeeding Twins! by Geraldine

Hi there,

Congratulations on having 2 little babies. I am sure they are keeping you busy. Feeding twins can seem a little daunting, but as soon as your body understands that it needs to produce milk for 2, everything becomes a lot easier. Let’s quickly look at how you can begin to do this.

1. It is always a good idea to bring the feeds closer together, so 2-3hourly rather than 4 hourly, when trying to increase your supply.
2. Feedingmore frequently means that you don’t need to give the babies as much formula.
3. As formula takes longer to digest, the more formula your babies have, the less hungry they will be when they are offered the breast.

If you would like to discuss this a little more, give me a call on 0906 400 6213 between 9am-10am Monday – Friday. Calls cost £1.50 per minute from BT landlines. Mobiles and other networks may vary.

Hi,I have twin girl and a twin boy 3 months old.since they were born are 35 weeks they have been taking top ups ,initially ebm but then I had severe kidney infection and was not producing enough so started formula top ups
both are weighing ok at the moment but it’s very confusing howuch to increase top up with time.up to 12 week they were at 120 ml after every 20 -30 min on breast with 6 feeds
now they have reduced feeds to five but don’t demand fir more milk.am very upset as I dint want them to loose weight at all.
Also can u help me how should I calculate top ups as they don’t give me any hunger clues at all .I just put the breast after 4 hrs and top up without them giving me any indication
help plz what should I do?

Comment on Does breast size matter? by Tracey-Jane Hughes

Hi Marcia – if you want to call our bra fitting specialists at bras4mums.co.uk, or email us your measurements, how many weeks pregnant you are/how old baby is, we can then work out with you the styles that are likely to suit.
We have an online shop, but an actual shop in Lancashire, with a couple of home fitters currently.
Even if you choose to go to a local shop for a fitting, you can get advice from the site and our bra fitters so you’ll have a better idea. Not all stores have a great selection, so depending where you are and where you can get to, our service may be an option for you.
To answer the question though – all bras fit differently! Even those from the same supplier will fit differently. This is dependent on shape of cup, fabric used and your breast and body shape…a good fitter is the answer!

Hi Marcia,

Choosing a good bra is going to need a good brand and a good ‘fitter’ who will ensure that the brand you choose is most suitable to your breast shape and size. With so many new designs on the market, I would advise that you pop down to a maternity lingerie shop and get some advice.

Leia are really brilliant and I refer many clients to them who have great success. Also their stuff is really beautiful and start at £26 for a bra. They are in Bluewater, Cardiff, Liverpool, Richmond & York.

Hope this helps.

How do I select a decent bra from the varied marked brassiere makes like, triumph, sorella and wacoal, etc? Besides having the precise breasts size measurements, what else should I look at when picking out a bra? Especially in regard to the distinct designs of the bra?
