Her  issue is that she will need to return to work full time in about  6
weeks.  Full time for her is 3 12 hour shifts as a labor and  delivery nurse
a week.  She is wondering how to go about building up a  supply of expressed
milk.  She has tried the tricks I use with moms of  singletons (pumping
before bed, pumping after first feed in the morning,  pumping one side while
baby nurses on the other) but so far gets very  little with a pump.  She is
using a PIS now, will have access to a  Symphony at work.  One of the babies
has had an ounce of breastmilk in  a bottle, the other hasn't had a bottle
yet, but she'd like to introduce  one soon as the babies are now 6 weeks old.

Any tips for moms of twins  on building a freezer stash?  And is now the time
to start, at six  weeks of age?



Are the babies nursing tandem most of the time?  Who will be the  caregiver 
when she returns to work?  Are there times during the day now  when she has a 
helper to allow for pumping?
