Feeding Twin Babies
Having twin babies can be an unexplainable feeling of joy for you. Certainly though, you as a mother would come across many challenges in their upbringing and there is no escape to it. One such challenge comes in the form of their feeding.
When a single baby mother has to take a lot of care to ensure proper breastfeeding to her child, the responsibility almost doubles in the case of twin babies.
First, you have to be physically fit in order to produce sufficient milk for both the babies and secondly you have to be mentally stable to not to affect your milk producing capacity. Besides, you need to follow certain practices with respect to proper breastfeeding.
Water intake: Just make sure that you are drinking eight to twelve glasses of water every day. The amount of water should not be less than eight glasses, and do not think that drinking more and more water is good, as said generally. Drinking beyond twelve glasses of water may negatively influence your milk production system. Therefore take water as suggested.
Calcium: You might find your grand parents advising you to drink more and more milk in order to boost up your own milk production capacity.
Your doctor may also suggest you so and you would start believing in the cause without knowing the actual reason. Well, consuming more milk on the basis of the first case is nothing but a myth. Actually you need milk for breastfeeding because of its calcium component.
Feeding pattern: You might prefer to feed both the babies together, to save on time and energy. There is no issue if you want to go like this but it is advisable that you give at least one individual feeding to your baby once in a day. It carries emotional significance and both you and your baby will feel closer.
Apart from this, it is presumed that if the babies are twins they would have similar personalities. It is not mandatory. Therefore if one of your babies are feeling hungry, the other one might not. Here you have to keep track that both babies are getting sufficiently fed.
