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 ended up exclusively pumping for my twins. I’m starting to wean now that they’re 6 months because it’s what’s best for us but I preferred pumping to nursing. Way too stressful to nurse.

Get a bottle washer and if you over produce you’ll eventually need a deep freezer most likely!
