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,
I'm so glad to hear that things are going well with your pumping/working
routine. 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

How wonderful! Congratulations!
