Breastfeeding Twins or more
Contact: (0191) 282 0542 - Sandra Bosman, Midwife (for Multiple Births)
Breastfeeding twins or more may seem like a challenging task, but with the right information and support, it can be a satisfying and rewarding experience for all involved. This session is offered to women who want to find out more about:
- positions for breastfeeding
- how to avoid some common problems in the early days
- support available for breastfeeding mums
Many other aspects of breastfeeding are also discussed including:
- feeding patterns
- sleep states
- expressing and storing milk
- going back to work.
There will be an opportunity to ask the midwives questions and if possible, we will invite a twins family to visit and talk about breastfeeding.
This session is held on some Thursday from 10:30am until 12:30pm in the Parent Education Room and refreshments are provided.
