Back at work - Thanks for the help
Hi Everyone
Well I'm nearly finished my first run of shifts back at work. (I work as a registered nurse doing 6 nights on then 8 nights off) and I am proud to say that despite all my fears I have managed to pump enough to keep my beautiful twins on breastmilk and not supplement with formula. I nurse them to sleep before I go then I've been pumping around 17 oz each night and that's been enough for DH to give them until I can get back and nurse in the morning. So thank you to everyone who gave me the help and support in the days when I was still panicking and everyone (but my ever supportive DH) was telling me I couldn't possibly manage to pump for 2 Ellie ))) proud mummy to 13 week old b/g twins |

I've BTDT, and I know it can be very challenging, especially when people don't seem to believe that you can Bf two, let alone pump for 2. You can, and now, you do! :-) Cheers, Barbara |
