How to tandem breastfeed?

Tandem breastfeeding is a great way to nourish both of your babies, especially if they’re newborns. But it can be pretty intimidating and challenging at first. No worries, twin mama, we’ve got you covered! Here’s how to tandem breastfeed like a pro!

Preparing for the Adventure

Before even beginning this adventure, there are some things you should consider.

Buy Some Tools

You’ll need some tools before starting with the process. These include:
– Nursing pillow (preferably oversized)
– Water bottle
– Comfortable chair

Mastered Single Breastfeeding?

If you haven’t already done so, we highly suggest mastering single breastfeeding first because it would require an understanding of using latching techniques that make them more effective.

Get Familiar With Laidback Positioning

This method allows us mothers to nurse in a laid-back position while keeping our babies on their bellies or side.

Generally speaking, laidback positioning involves reclining comfortably in a slightly supported environment using gravity as an ally.

Having Two Babies Might Be Tricky!

Indeed it might seem tricky at times; however following these recommendations will ease up the process:

Take note of Pace

It’s important not always to focus on feeding each baby exactly half and half every time.
Instead take into consideration which one seems hungrier/targetting again after finishing his feedings initially.

The Ultra Feed

Mothers have been blessed by having what is known as fountain flowing milk within our body. If possible encourage one baby only towards let-down first henceforth quickly releasing him over onto empty/non-flowing-breast whilst he waits patiently/calmly during ‘waiting period’.

Ultra Feeding refers simply encouraging flow faster combined alongside highest quantity/how much intake your suckling pumps can manage or handle.

Some Important Quantitative Information

How Long Can a Baby Safely and Effectively Nurse?

A baby should nurse until they are full, which is often when they stop active sucking, slow down their movements, and release the breast. This can take between 15 minutes to an hour per side.

What Is The Recommended Frequency of Feeding?

Nursing frequency will vary from baby to baby, but typically newborns need eight feedings every 24 hours (although around nine on some days), after that you can adjust accordingly once supply has been established.
