Does breastfeeding take more time than bottle feeding?
If you are going to give birth to twins, you may seriously be considering bottle-feeding.
However, breastfeeding twins is not as hard as it may seem.
Moms of twins often engage in tandem breastfeeding, during which they feed both twins at once (one on each breast).
Contrary to popular belief, you will not run out of breast milk if you are breastfeeding twins. The more milk your twins drink, the more milk your breasts will produce in return, leaving lots leftover. Breastfeeding twins can be tiring, though, so try to get them on the same schedule if you can, and sleep whenever they are sleeping.
You can choose any position you wish to nurse in, whether that be a seated or laying down position. It should be one that gives you the best feeding position for your baby and their needs.
This may vary with the baby’s age, your comfort level and even the time of day. Many people use the cradle hold, with mom seated upright, holding baby like a cradle. This allows you to hold the baby with one hand and use the other to support or move your breast.
No matter what position you decide on, get some support! A nursing pillow or using couch or bed pillows to help you hold baby up will save strain on your neck and back. Ask for help from others moms if you’re just learning.
When mothers begin to breastfeed their child, they often feel that their milk supply is low when it is not.
This happens when you don’t feel the fullness in your breasts or milk stops leaking from your nipples. Milk supply may reduce temporarily if you are not feeding your baby often enough due to reasons like nipple pain, lethargy or a poor latch-on technique. An illness or birth control pills that contain estrogen also affects milk production. A hormonal disorder or breast surgery may also reduce the milk supply.
To maintain your milk supply, Drink lot of fluids. Water, juice and milk keeps you hydrated and promotes milk production in breasts. Limit soda, coffee and other caffeinated drinks as too much caffeine may lead to irritability or interfere with your baby’s sleep.

Awsome Post yaar.
^ you’re not supposed to microwave. but you can use warm water to make it, or heat it in a bowl of hot water.
I though that u are not suppose to warm up formula milk, so how can u keep it in the fridge ??
I would throw it away and make new one after one hour.
Based on what I read, formula,
-can be stored in the fridge for 24-48 hours
-expires after 2 hours outside of the fridge
-expires 1 hour after the start of the feed/warming
lively, the breastfeeding suction is pretty strong. I have soreness due to it, I think that’s a good indication of muscle tone no?
2hrs is what my mom told me
2 hours.
But, if I may mention- I am a pediatric therapist and this may be a sign of low oral muscle tone. Babies start to display signs as young as being one month old, but parents don’t respond soon enough as they think it is just a habit and will get better on its own. If it continues, in about a month or so, I would discuss the matter of slow swallowing with his doctor at the next visit.
Good luck.
2 hours without refrigeration.
this is a general guideline for all powdered formulas and not specific to the moriaga brand.
Baby takes ages to drink milk. I make two ounces, he will drink it all in a go sometimes, sometimes he will drink 1/2 ounce and then sleep and wake up in half an hour or 45 mins and want more. Can I give him the one he left? Or have to make anew? What’s the take on how long I can “keep” BF1 morinaga infant formula????
And for those who say I have to make anew, shouldn’t that apply if he drinks all in a go but over a period of an hour? (he is a slow drinker) Does it go “bad” in that time?
Breast feeding was not an option so my sis gave my nephew formula and goat’s milk. Mash’allah, he was a very healthy baby. The formula made him nice and fat so he was an absolute cutie pie.
We get goat’s milk at our grocery store.
in yesteryears babies born prematurely were given goat milk. I don’t know what kind of goat milk in available around you , is it in powder form , tetratpack etc
One of my friends suggested to give goat milk to baby. She says even her lo didnt take formula so her ped recommended giving goat milk.
Has anyone tried it?
This is amazing article
