Photo of Breastfeeding Twins

Rebecca Romijn uses the double football hold to breastfeed her twins, while Angelina Jolie preferred to nurse her twins separately. There are different ways to breastfeed twins and when I came across this photo I thought it worth sharing.

I love that the mother is feeding those tiny newborns at the same time; I love that this picture is from the 1980s! It is hard enough to find support for breastfeeding, much less breastfeeding multiples, and this mother clearly made it work for her and her babies!
Excellent example of a smart mom! It doesn’t seem that it should make any difference if a mother is breastfeeding one or two children….each child is important and breast feeding is the best start for any baby. Yes, it is a demand on the mother’s body to nurse two infants but Mother Nature taught us how.
That is great! One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen is watching my friend Brittany nurse her 7 month twins. She feeds them at the same time, and somehow makes it look effortless! Her girls hold hands and play footsie while eating. It is BEYOND precious!
What a great pic!

I have three month old twins, and breastfeed them at the same time in a position similar to the one shown in the picture. I am so happy to have these beautiful babies.
I have breastfed my two boys at once and it works fine. Great picture.-Deb.
I have three year old twins, that I still breastfeed. I breast feed them together one breast each they both breastfeed in the morning . But Magan refuses to breastfeed before she sleeps. I do pump the left breast. Is there anything I can do?
