When I found out I was having twins I was shocked. No. That is too mild of a word. I was completely overwhelmed at the thought. How would I care for them while caring for my two older boys? How in the world would I breastfeed my babies?
Despite my fears, I was able to successfully breastfeed my boys for more than a year and a half. I’m thankful I had the experience of breastfeeding my singletons that came before. Breastfeeding two brings with it a unique set of challenges.
I am happy to announce that my friend, Jennifer has recently released her book Breastfeeding Twins, Triplets and More! I wish this book would have been available to me when I was pregnant with my boys, but I’m so excited that it is now available to encourage moms of multiples!
And because we don’t do “excited” in a boring way, we’ve teamed up to host a fanta-bulous giveaway with prizes worth over $450! You’ll be the most prepared mama on the block! 🙂
Oh, and from August 1-7, 2014 you can get the book for 70% off! Buy it in in Jennifer’s store (PDF) for $2.99 (regularly $9.99!) or on Amazon (for Kindle) for the same price. Use coupon code “WBWBreastfeedMultiples.”
But first…
Why a book on breastfeeding twins, triplets and more? Are there really women who want to breastfeed twins? Triplets? Quads?
Yep! Many mothers who see more than one (or two, or three!) babies on the ultra-sound screen suddenly become overwhelmed with all the questions flooding their mind:
- Is it possible to breastfeed twins, triplets, quads (or more)?
- Will I make enough milk for all of them?
- What if they’re born early – will they be able to learn to breastfeed?
- Can I feed them at the same time?
- Will I always have someone “on the breast?”
As a mother who has breastfed my triplets for nearly three (yes, three!) years, it is most definitely possible!
What’s in the book?
The Challenges
While in theory breastfeeding one baby is similar to breastfeeding multiples, there are many facets that may come into play unique to a mother of multiples.
In this book, you’ll find a step-by-step guide for nearly any situation a new mother of multiples may face.
Easy to Read
Let’s face it: postpartum mothers have little time to read! This book is designed to give you the information you need to get off to a great start with breastfeeding – who needs to read now about how to deal with jealous triplets fighting for a boob? Time enough to figure that out later!
You can read this ebook and be on your way in no time to having the experience you want!
Breastfeeding is Not All or Nothing
Most mothers of multiples feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of need these new little ones come with. Add into the mix the stress of prematurity, exhaustion x 2 (or 3 or more!) and not having the right support and information one needs – it’s no wonder many mothers of newborn multiples don’t make it past the first few days or weeks.
But what if each of these mothers knew that breastfeeding twins, triplets or more wasn’t “all or nothing?” What if they heard from other mothers who found a happy medium that worked for their family, resting in the knowledge that even against all odds, some breast milk is better than none?
In this ebook you’ll hear from mothers across the spectrum – mothers who exclusively breastfed their multiples and mothers who exclusively pumped for them. They share with you because they want you to succeed!
Breastfeeding twins, triplets or more happens when a mother plans and has knowledge – and then is able to adjust to accommodate the needs her babies have. We believe that any and every life-giving drop of breast milk is a celebration and a victory!
