Hi ladies,
I am 29 weeks with twins and trying to get prepared. I've successfully BF before but I am very large-breasted - I take a G cup when I'm breastfeeding. So I am not the type that can BF hands-free - I need one hand to pull up my breast (my breasts were bigger than my baby's head!). Sorry if TMI.
So with twins and tandem-feeding, I can't see how logistically I'll be able to do that, since I need a hand to position my breast. Yet I've lurked on other twin moms threads and they all say to try to tandem or you'll be BF all day.
I also know how important it is to have the right BF pillow. A Boppy never worked for me because I was overweight and wouldn't fit around me. I remember it being a pain trying to use normal pillows.
I was thinking about 2 options....ordering the EZ2Nurse pillow - but that is designed for tandem feeding, and being that I'm Canadian, I have to order it from the USA, which is costly.
The other option - trying the My Breast Friend - which I can order locally, but it seems to be for one baby at a time. And I'm hoping it will fit around me (I'll probably be a size 16 once the babies are born).
WWYD? I'd hate to waste $$ on an expensive pillow that I may or may not be able to use.
TIA,
Lisa
