Breastfeeding twins has its unique challenges. Listen to advice given by our guests, 4 physicians who have breastfed twins. We discuss what it is like to pump for twins in the NICU, the experience of bringing twins home, challenges with nursing when breasts are not similar in milk production, and how weaning twins differs from singletons. Recorded in March 2022.

If breastfeeding one newborn seems a challenge, think about the mother with two newborns, three newborns—or more! Juggling the babies, positioning them at the breast, pumping to meet their needs, and parenting them in the NICU if they are born preterm all make for an entirely different kind of “breastfeeding dance” than that experienced by the mother of one. What do expectant mothers of multiple babies need to know about breastfeeding their babies? What steps are essential to establishing a strong milk supply in the early days and maintaining it throughout the breastfeeding journey? Join Marie Biancuzzo as she discusses the ins and outs of breastfeeding twins, triplets, and more with expert Karen Kerkhoff Gromada, author of the essential resource on this topic: “Mothering Multiples: Breastfeeding and Caring for Twins or More.” Learn to identify the particular challenges of mothering multiple babies at once, and identify strategies for supporting the mother and overcoming the challenges.
