How wonderful that, all of a sudden, all the things worked and they got it! DON'T worry about having enough milk - you already do! My daughter's friend with preemie twins (who suddenly caught on to nursing around their due date) had pumped and frozen and pumped and frozen before the boys caught on, so that she had a cooler full of extra to donate to the NICU! And her boys are roly poly now, with round cheeks. I am so happy for you and hope this development helps with that sleep deficit that new parents always have.<BR/>May our God richly bless your family!MomLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749147716580492291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210913620206544383.post-53876219630066872692008-04-11T21:37:00.000-07:002008-04-11T21:37:00.000-07:00That is so wonderful!And don't be scared. Just li...That is so wonderful!<BR/><BR/>And don't be scared. Just like Emily said, you've been feeding them all along. And if you could do it then, you can do it now. After all, having an actual baby (or two!) at your breast makes for improved milk supply. So does reduced stress.<BR/><BR/>I have many not-so-fond memories of groggily dealing with bottles and pumping equipment at all hours... I'm so glad you're done with all that.<BR/><BR/>But seriously, if you're nervous about whether or not they're getting enough, Ashley and I took Autumn and the twins to a weekly breastfeeding support group at Presbyterian Hospital, and the weekly weigh-ins were very reassuring.<BR/><BR/>I can't express how glad I am for you! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!Elena Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380956132236257767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210913620206544383.post-3920785092469276942008-04-11T15:57:00.000-07:002008-04-11T15:57:00.000-07:00Aw, dear Jess...

I'm sure that the girls will be getting plenty of milk - remember you've been pumping religiously and they've been getting their feedings from you all this time, anyway. Its not like you'll start nursing and your supply will suddenly dry up. :) I'm so, so glad that the girls figured it out!Emily (Laundry and Lullabies)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03366768314814574270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6210913620206544383.post-85128248161910529062008-04-11T13:29:00.000-07:002008-04-11T13:29:00.000-07:00Yay!

I produced enough milke for my twins until 5 months (that's alot of extra milk!)<BR/> How amazing to have so many answers to God's faithfulness in one year.Amiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919278910379100091noreply@blogger.com
