Some how the body knows 2 babies came and will make plenty of milk.  Sounds like  they need more nursing time, perhaps with sns, less bottles. Also sounds like the beginning  of breastfeeding got delayed :-( Wonder what happened in the hospital? But I know she can bring it up to speed, but it will be hard work.   Pat in SNJ

I recently saw my first mom of multiples-I am in private practice. Twins born at 38 weeks and are 2 weeks old now. She is having supply problems. One latches occasionally, and the other is not as interested. One removed about 50ml when I was there. Mom is pumping about 10 times per day as well as putting them to the breast at feedings to give them practice ad keep them familiar with the breast. She started fenugreek a couple days ago. I feel like she might have enough for one baby, but definitely not enough for 2. She is also using hands on pumping which proved to be a little more effective at removing milk. 
Any advice for me to give her? 

Thanks! 
Mandy
