I have triplets and two daughters with another set of triplets on the way my triplets are only 5 months old so it's going to be hard to breastfeed my new triplets with them being so young also so I know your problems.

hey firstly congrates on the twins.ive just had non identical twin boys 5 weeks old on tues and what an amazin experience so far.these are no 3 and 4 for me and havin breastfeed my older to i was so set on doin it..my c section did nt go to plan and i had to be put asleep.when i came round i was very weak and groggy and told my husband to give the boys a bottle and id bf the next feed.i was so tired that the nurse took them that night and gave them bottes and i continued with bottles.now 5 weeks on i really regret not doin it but i also realise that it just would nt have suited my lifestyle as my eldest child is 3 and my house is hectic.do as much reserch as u can and see if there a lactating nurse near u to give u advice when there born.u will have plenty of milk so dont worry bout that.if u have no other kids u should def give it try..check out some face book serches on breastfeeding twins.they are fab.good luck..twins are amazing

I stumbled upon a youtuber that had twins and was VERY pro-breastfeeding! She did a video about how she handled breastfeeding twins. I was researching it when I though for SURE I was gonna have twins (ended up with only a single baby lol).
Here is the link (I hope it works! You might have to copy and paste.):
