Oh wow.....as a Mom who exclusively nursed twins.......you  DO have your
hands full on this one.  That rigid schedule is likely to be her demise.
Schedules and breastfeeding newborns don't go well together.....as we all
know....but schedules and breastfeeding twin newborns REALLY don't go
together well.  It doesn't surprise me that she is ending up in tears and
going to bottles.  After four long hours of waiting I can't imagine how
starving those little babies must be......definitely not condusive to getting
a good latch calmly!!  Is there any potential of her seeing that the schedule
is the basis of her problem?
