@jamienotis: They were MY SMALLEST BABIES, but now they’re MY BIGGEST, chunkiest, happiest babies!🥹 My feeding journey didn’t go as I planned AT ALL though🤦🏼♀️🤪…. My twinnies WERE BORN a month premature. I was determined to breastfeed exclusively, but I just never got enough breastmilk for two no matter how hard I tried. I was easily able to breastfeed my first two for their first year of life, but with the twins I got mastitis at about 3 weeks & that was relentless.😩 My supply was so low. No Matter how many supplements I took or how often I pumped I could barely produce enough to feed them daily. The *stress* I had trying to breastfeed exclusively took me away from being present with my babies...all four of them. So I decided to let it go & combo feed.💯 I never fully gave up breastmilk but I’ve stopped trying to increase my supply. I feed about 50% breast milk and 50% formula.🍼 It was truly the best decision for us all as a family.🙏❤️ If you’re struggling with breastfeeding let this be your sign that it’s ok if they get formula. You’re not a failure as a mommy. And your babies will still be able to thrive💕 Curious - did your feeding journey go as you planned?? I know a lot of people struggle with breastfeeding but has anyone planned to bottle feed and end up breastfeeding?!💗 Whether you breast feed, formula feed, or combo feed-you’re doing amazing mama!😍 Btw! This week I’m sharing teachers wishlists for back to school! Comment below with what grade you teach or nominate a teacher & each day I’ll be picking a couple to share on stories & fulfill their wishlists! Teachers deserve the WORLD, they do so much for our kiddos!👏❤️ Fed is best | formula fed | breast fed | bottle fed | mom life | twin mama | breastfeeding journey | moms of IG | twin babies | identical twins | twin boys

On a side note, I know the most deserving teacher who gives back to her school, fellow teachers, kiddos and started a blessing closet at her school. positivemisst

Premature twins do better on breast milk in my experience with your brother and sister. But they were 3 months early! 2.14 and 3.3 ! And couldn’t handle even the special formula. They were losing weight.😢So the only thing they could have to survive was breast milk, I was told if not mine it would have to be a surrogate mother’s breast milk. So I used an electric pump! There was blood in it but I finally got it in!🤗I was concerned about the blood but they said it wouldn’t hurt them at all! Phew!!!😮💨 They Gained weight daily! They were due in Jan were born October 21 and I was not to expect them to be able to come home until December, most likely Christmas!! But I feed exclusively my milk!! Every day and night we were there with a fresh supply!! They did So good that they went into a special book!! They actually came in time for Thanksgiving!!!❤️🙏❤️Thank You Jesus!!!❤️🙏❤️They wore Cabbage Patch clothes ( doll clothes!!😁)which was a joke in the family because they were so small premature baby clothes hung off them still!!🥹🥰 but they were very healthy!!!💕 I was fortunate enough to breastfeed all 5 of you children!!!💖 But you did have my milk from bottles also. I also know ladies who have had to split it up like you did and also had extremely healthy babies, like my grandbabies!!!💖🥰 And I have also known ladies who weren’t able even produced enough milk for their baby and had to completely bottle feed because it was literally Too painful for her. It broke her heart. But when you’re hurting so badly trying to do the best thing for your child sometimes it Not the Best Thing!!❤️Because Everything that you’re feeling is being transferred over and through to your child and that’s upsetting for them and overall just makes not a good feeling about what should be a cozy, snuggly bonding relationship with momma and baby. 💖💖💖
