Ruby is champion breast feeder number two…
Amazing. She’s totally got it, and it all seemed to fall into place around their due date last Friday.
I am so happy, but understand completely why mothers of twins resort so often to bottle feeding (stubborn, me…). I love it when they feed from me, despite the fact that my left nipple feels like a piece of raw flesh being chewed in the grip of a terrier’s jaws for the first 10 seconds. They are ruthless - just one bad latch 3 weeks ago that I overlooked because it had taken an hour to achieve, and the pain still persists.
Top tip girls - NEVER persist with a bad latch. Even if it took a week to achieve.
