Can I get a reality check from other mothers out there, esp twins mothers? I’m on leave for a year to be at home with my now 6-month twins. I pretty much gave up on nursing a few months ago when baby A went on nursing strike and now I pump almost exclusively (I can sometimes get baby B to nurse in the morning, but he’s not as amenable the rest of the day). Is it crazy to think I will be able to continue pumping as the babies get mobile? I think it might be crazy. I have help in the mornings but not in the afternoons/early evenings. I’ve never been able to produce enough for even one baby, so these guys have always gotten 66-75% formula. Would you try to continue pumping?
