Hiya Kas

I'm sure Sally can give the best 1st hand advice but my mums said a few things in the past that might help.

If one of us woke for a night feed she'd then wake the other one so that she'd hopefully get a few hours in between feeds.

She says when weaning use one bowl and one spoon to keep it simple!!

I'll ask her advice tomorrow, sorry i can't help more, have to say from personal experience, twins are wonderful!!! haha

Hi Kas, just going by a program I watched a while back. On advice for twins, if bottle feeding get an extra kettle solely for the babies bottles and get 2 sterilisers. Keep a written note of what time and they were fed and who had what. If breast feeding, those V pillows are fab for helping supportting each twin if you feeding at the same time. Lovely news for her.xxx
