It's been almost a month since I've given birth to my second set of twin girls. They have been adjusting quite well with their siblings, and I've nearly gotten this nursing thing down. At first, it was tricky because I wasn't sure how to hold them so they could latch, but I read a couple of helpful articles, and I'm getting the hang of it.
My chest (or breasts in this case) have gotten very heavy and have begun to leak even more to the point where I have to get shirts that I don't mind getting soaked. The girls have been nursing without much trouble, latching well and getting their fill. I usually will nurse one baby on each side. I may also get a pump at some point, but for now, I'm absolutely loving the bond.
It's like nothing I've experienced before, knowing that I not only gave them life and gave birth to them but that I'm also naturally giving them the nourishment they need.
I still have a bump so I still look pregnant and it's almost like I'm nursing and pregnant at the same time.
