Breastfeeding Positions

To me , breastfeeding my twin boys since birth till they are 2 years old WITHOUT FORMULA is my biggest motherhood achievement for them. Not easy but not impossible either with strong determination and skill to put stress at bay.

It's a pity that during that time (9 years ago) I haven't got a digital camera yet. So I have to re-take these old photos using my camera phone thus the image is definitely not so sharp.

Here's my most memorable moment with them:
Using the American football position (Head to head, both legs out)


At times, i use my own "Half american Football" position where one of the twin's leg is facing inward instead of both twins head to head:


Sometimes when one is sleeping while another wants feed, I feed one at a time:

What is your most memorable breastfeeding moment and favourite position to latch them on?

It's a wet wet day...so lazy yet busy..school holidays!

Today I visited an old friend S.W who just gave birth to her 1st child (baby girl) after trying for soooooo long (Sounds familiar to some of the bloggers out there?).
The interesting fact is the miracle baby was conceived after she has stopped all the fertility program which was recommended to her. She claimed that she was so tired of trying so hard and decided to stop everything and just exercise and practice healthy lifestyle.
BINGO not long after..her princess arrived.

The best thing is she has planned to have her next one when this princess turn 6 months old. Her mum has encouraged her to do since they are really keen to have some more children. So no point waiting. HHHmmmmm very interesting opinion , huh?

Her baby is sooo cute.

Of course being a breastfeeding counselor , I can't help but to encourage her to breastfeed and shared with her the tips which are useful. Also gave her my success story of breastfeeding my Twin boys for 2 years, my 2nd Girl for 8 months because I conceived my 4th one whom I breastfeed for 2 years also (without formula during those breastfeeding period). I really wish S.W u would breastfeed for at least 6 months even though u need to go back to work. Since you are so shy about putting on so much weight, this is also your solution to slim down fast during your confinement. Goodluck S.W!

This was my proudest moment..to have breastfeed my twins for 2 years without formula in the American football position.

I also met up with an old schoolmate who was back for school holidays with her TWIN boys who are 5 years old. Almost more than 20 years didnt see each other..sharing the same fate of having twins..How beautiful. So I invited her to register for the Malaysian TWIN registry. The Malaysian Twin registry will take place next month and having a gathering on 13th September. Those of you who have twins or are twins and interested to find out more , please leave your contact or read this . Miss Sue will get back to you.
