Size equals to abillity to feed two?

25.04.09 / Parenting, Twins, breastfeeding / Author: chinneeq

Just something light for the weekend.

I just can’t help but feeling proud of myself that I am still able to breastfeed the boys now, at 10 months. I know, it sounds almost unbelievable to most as it takes a lot of effort to successfully breastfeed one baby, what’s more feeding two.

Yesterday while running my errands, I was talking to some ladies while waiting for my food and they commented that my twins must be “pricey” in terms of spending on milk powder and disposable diapers. Not wanting to explain in details about cloth diapering in a hot coffee shop, I just merely tell them they are not that expensive, apart from being difficult to take care of. Reason is because they are still on breastmilk only, and we have not invest a single sen on formula as of today.

Guess where their eyes go to immediately after that?

*common reaction*
I bet anyone listen to my answer would shift their eyes to my body part to find out if I am that BIG to be able to feed TWO! Hey, I know you are now imagine how I look …….Ok… I admit, they are rather small after all! Too bad that my waist is has expanded so much the horizontal way. Wonder if anything like Fenphedra could help me burn the fats in my waistline :(

Enjoy your weekend!

Yes, I’m one of those walking testimonial that small b**bs can also bf..! The only times I was ever well-endowed were during the third trimester of my pregnancies and during the first few months of giving birth. After that shrrooooot they shrank..but still got milk lah :D

Wow……as I said before you are really a super women. I tried to BF my first, failed. Then, came my 2nd, so I tried again. It works but only for 1 month. So, I can say I failed again. BF is not an easy task!

Yes size not equal to your ability and capacity. Thumbs up to you Chinnee for able to bf your twin fully :)

KittyCat // April 28th, 2009 - 4:50 pm

Wow…Chinnee, you’re doing really well! I can still remember how you were on the verge of giving up but you’re still doing it.

No reason for lazy Mums like me not to breastfeed eh?

Btw, I wanted to ask if your tummy was big on the 2nd month? Mine’s kind of big and I’m kind of wondering…esp as I couldn’t get a darn ultrasound scan yet!

Martini // April 29th, 2009 - 7:04 am
