Ep. 11: What it's like tandem feeding twins
After a short break in recordings, the boobingit podcast is back! This week I am joined by Caitlin who is a mama of three girls. She has twin girls Isla and Mia who are five, and then there is her youngest daughter Skye who is 2. Caitlin was good enough to share her story of breastfeeding twins in the ‘Breastfeeding for Beginners’ ebook (which you can buy here). Breastfeeding multiples is no easy feat so I wanted to have her on to the podcast to talk about her experience in more detail. I also wanted to shine a light on what it was like going from breastfeeding twins to breastfeeding a single baby! In our chat, Caitlin talks about her surprise at finding out she was expecting twins and what she did to prepare in terms of breastfeeding. Caitlin tells us about her birth and how she was able to establish breastfeeding in those first few weeks. She touches on what it was like breastfeeding in public and why she thought tandem feeding was the best option from the very beginning. Caitlin also shares some fantastic tips and advice on feeding multiples and gives us a really great insight into breastfeeding twins and then breastfeeding her third baby!
