Weaning twins

by Cessiz
(Philippines)

I've been breastfeeding my twins for almost two years now.I decided that I have to wean them because I'm losing a lot of weight,and now that they are eating meals and only breastfeed to help them sleep..at first 2 days it was hard because they're rejecting their milk in a bottle,and so hard to make them fall asleep..but after a week things are on a smoothsail..it feels like that they dont want to breastfeed anymore.but when it is time for bed,we cuddle and that what helps them get sleepy..

You Go Girl!!!
by: Elsabe

You deserve a big medal for breastfeeding your twins for two years, you go girl!!!!

My twincesses are now 13 months old and I hope we can also make it to two years. My singleton son self-weaned at 17 months, so for me that was a bit disappointing, but I was glad that he made the choice and not me. With the girls I really hope we can also make it to two years.

Thanks for sharing, this is so encouraging to hear. Very few twin moms even make it to 6 months, finding support for the extended nursing of multiples is pretty impossible.

thank you!

thanks..I know it's kinda amazing how I did that..at first I wanted to breastfeed them only for 6 months,but their attachment to the the breast is so hard to cut..and therefore it lasted up to this point.And I can say that it's worth it.My twins is healthier compared to other kids I know who never been breastfed by their moms.Also,they don't easily get sick..what more can i ask for?
And it's all because of breastfeeding.
So,if your kids still want to breastfeed,let them..it's for the benefit of all..
