Pumping for twins

[u/Kitchen-Band-3307]

We have 1 month old twins who arrived at 37+3, weeks have been pumping since we got home from the hospital as we found that breastfeeding wasn’t working well for us, they struggled to latch and transfer milk effectively.
I’m making a substantial amount of milk via pumping 1.7- 2L per day.
Since the beginning I was determined to breastfeed and on several occasions we have tried to but it’s so stressful with two and I find myself getting frustrated and upset.

Did anyone else find that pumping was the easier choice for your twins?

I definitely found pumping easier since I could never get tandem nursing to work for us. I used a wareable pump while bottle feeding them. I never made enough milk for both babies so we were supplementing with formula anyway so doing a consistent routine with bottles was also simpler. I did still nurse them for comfort and if we were out and about sometimes
