The ways Breastfeeding Twins

Breast milk is the best food for babies. Because Breast milk contains nutrients that are not found in formula. Breast milk that came out the first time shortly after maternal colostrum contains many functions for immunity. The growth of a healthy baby is influenced by the nutrients contained in mother's milk. Breast milk not only affects the development of the baby's body, but also will affect the baby's brain development.

It can be concluded that the best food for babies is breast milk. Because the protein in breast milk is easily absorbed by the body. The content of vitamins in breast milk is also very complete, even no formula complete like nutritional value of breast milk.

Very good for the baby if we provide breast milk exclusively for 6 months, and continue providing breast milk to 2 years by providing complementary foods in addition to breast milk.
Having twins sometimes give a sense of fear in the mothers for fear of breast milk will be provided and probably a little trouble in maintaining them. There are some mothers who think having twins baby's nutritional needs are not met because of the mother's milk which has slightly. Which is not like that. Sure any mother, if we believed to have twins surely Allah will also provide all the necessary baby, including breast milk.

 
Actual milk production is not limited, as long as we routinely give it to the baby. Basically the more often the mother's milk is consumed the more production. There are even some mothers excess breast milk until they donate. So for the mothers who had twins never concerned about the shortage of breast milk.

Breastfeeding twins do require extra treatment. Production was different from mothers who breastfeed one. Mothers who have twins will have a milk production far more than mothers who breastfeed one baby.

However, to produce the milk production that much must be balanced by consuming nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, and do not forget the milk for nursing mothers.
