Hi All,
This is my first post although I read the posts and learn a lot.
I am trying to help a mother of twins to BF. They were born week 34 
and couldn't nurse for few month. I met them when they were 3 months 
old. One of them was already nursing, so I advised the mother to nurse 
him as if he was the only one. After one day like that he was only bf. 
But He nurses for an hour every 3 hours and the mother (that have 
another baby and 4 more older kids) is very tired of that. The second 
one dosen't want to latch on. I advised the mother to try when different 
times and locations, on the bath and when she walks were the best 
solution but still he nurses only once a day when she is very full on the 
mornings, and only most of the days. He doesn't let no one attach him 
to the breast, he either accept it or not. Do I have to try harder? Are 
ther ways for intervention? Is it advised to intervent?
I should meet her again this Fri. Now they are 4 months old. I'm looking 
for your help with ideas to have the non-nursing baby start nursing. And 
I'm thinking how can I help the mother with the nursing baby. She feels 
as if he nurses all the time - she describes him as if he looks for the 
breast all day. I know if he was the only baby she wouldn't feel like 
that.
Thank you for beeing here.
