My best friend has twin brothers who are younger than her and her mum b/f them both for a long time (at least a year!) and she was 3 when they were born so it is possible! =]

Thanks everyone, i'll do some research on breast pumps etc, as if both are hungry at least someone else could feed one with a bottle or something! Im just really hoping that they wont be slow drinkers, my eldest daughter would down her milk really quickly, but my youngest atm used to take like an hour to have 6 oz! Thats 2 hours everyone 3/4 hours??!! Oh god im going to be the most anitsocial women ever! Hahaa, guess you just have to get on with it! Thanks everyone x

I've heard that you can. I have no experience in this though. But your breasts make enough milk based on how much feeding you do, so I would say it's possible, but its up to you whether you're happy doing it or not :-) x

hi i'm havang twins aswel n although i never breastfed with my other kids i really wanted to this time but i'm not sure if it's going to go as planned suppose all we can do is try it n if it don't work out at least we had a go i have bought an electric pump so will give expressing a go aswel so others can get involved with the feeding (specially hubby in the night lol ) it'll probably be chaos whatever we do.my other 4 kids will make sure of that little monsters!
