'''Enlist a helper/helpers''' - you will need someone to fetch and carry for you while you feed your babies. I was always calling for water and snacks. Breastfeeding makes you incredibly thirsty and hungry, especially when you are feeding two.
'''Entertain yourself''' - I set up my laptop on a stool in front of the sofa so that I could access this while they were happily feeding. This kept me sane during those long hours of feeding and most especially the Fertility Friends forum where I chatted with other mum's in a the same position. Another option is to watch DVD's or read a good book.
'''Don't give up!''' - Sometimes at 3 in the morning when I was sitting there feeding them both I would be desperate for sleep and wonder if I had just taken on too much. It helped me to remember that this phase will not last forever and I got a lot of support from a colleague on the FF (Fertility Friends) forum who was an avid breastfeeding supporter.
