Hi

I am due to have twins through host surrogacy on the 21st of October.

I have been on the standard protocol and pumping for the last six weeks. I have a stressful job which is now ended but still managed to pump. I am not getting as much milk as a lot of mums here - just about 7 oz per 24 hours.

I just wanted to have see if there have been any stories of people exclusively breast feeding twins or any tips on how to boost my supply in the next six days.

I have just started trying power pumping today. How often do you have to do it. I am doing ten minutes on and ten minutes off for two hours twice today.

Sabreena - I did read about one woman on this website that successfully adoptive breastfed triplets, so it has been done. I don't have any great suggestions, I just wanted to wish you luck. Just remember that the babies will be much better at removing the milk than a pump is.
