‘Breastfeeding two babies at once is not widely spoken about, so that’s what encouraged me to speak up about it. I’m so proud I decided to tandem breastfeed and that I went with my gut feeling about how I should mother, because I could have easily stopped and listened to people telling me I couldn’t do it. I post pictures of feeding both my daughters at the same time, and people can see it is possible.
And that is at all what it’s like! When I was in labour with Jasmine, I had no idea, because in the movies I thought you go from having dinner with your friends to “Agh! I’m in labour” and then the baby pops out. Then you feel like you love her so much and everything is perfect, and you carry on with life. But it wasn’t like that at all.
