breastfeeding twins

Following on from her birth story in episode 419, Leila shares her early postpartum experience with twins. She organised a foundation of strong and trustworthy support including private midwifery care, a postpartum doula and a meal train involving her closest friends. Despite her preparation she still had moments of overwhelm; the sheer amount of hours required to feed and settle twins is significant and it left very little space for anything else. She takes us through the importance of ready-made meals, her breastfeeding challenges, the upheaval of an unexpected hospital admission and the discovery of a prolapse at four months postpartum. Leila also shares her twin-mum must-haves so if you’re pregnant with multiples, you’ll love this episode.

Hi there, I'm Michelle Carroll, a creative storyteller specializing in styling, web development and graphic + web design. A burning desire to get my creative juices flowing led me to move from my hometown in the Great Plains of Shawnee, Kansas to Brooklyn, New York, which has been my home away from home for 10 years.  When I'm not creating moodboards or writing code for clients while sipping on iced coffee, I love to spend time with friends, my husband and our toddler twins.

Got milk? Today's topic goes WAY beyond the basics of breastfeeding. We'll be talking about building up a supply, what's a tongue tie and how do we fix it, why is breast REALLY best? Today we dig into some tough and fascinating topics all around twins breastfeeding. Judy Teibloom-Mishkin, our guest today is an IBCLC with Chicago's amazing group Lactation Partners. With over two decades of twins breastfeeding experience, Judy has not only seen it all, but she knows how to handle the challenging struggles that come along with breastfeeding two. She's also so inspiring and motivating that you'll happily continue your breastfeeding twins journey with your head full of why it's the best thing to do for your twinnies.

Judy Teibloom-Mishkin, RN, IBCLC, has been professionally committed to supporting new families for 29 years. She currently works in private practice as a lactation consultant, and has done so for the last 25 years. Her mission is to nurture mothers and fathers as they transition into their new roles as parents, so that they have the resources available to them to nurture their newborns. This is the doula model which she learned while working as a doula in private practice and in public health for 10 years. She is guided by the values of supporting maternal choice, providing practical strategies to surviving the exhaustion of the early days at home, and facilitating the process of attachment between parents and newborns. Judy graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in political science, and from Northwestern University with a BS in nursing. She was board certified as a lactation consultant in 1992 has maintained her certification every 5 years since that time. She is a licensed RN in Illinois. She is a mother of three boys which is never to be underestimated in contributing to her experience and wisdom! She never stops learning from her colleagues, Elizabeth and Joan, and from her clients who teach her something new every day.
