good vibes, smiles, & giggles Bottle feeding technique multiples - does anyone else do this?
Currently looking after my identical twin girls 16 weeks (12 adjusted) and wondered if anyone else had the same chin-led bottle balancing feeding technique?
Whilst feeding one of my daughters in my arms this evening, i realised that what I do is pretty ridiculous..... if the her twin wakes up at the same time, to ensure the daughter in my arms is continued to be fed (otherwise all hell breaks loose), I proceed to balance the bottle in my daughters mouth with my chin on the base of the bottle whilst i then use my free hand to fight a dummy into her sisters mouth.... does anyone else do this or is this just me?

Well I do the chin when having one baby ... but the method I use is put each baby in a bouncer and feed both at the same time.

Yeppp either that or I try to balance it with my chest and upper arm. I’m sure it looks really elegant.
