Nursing Positions for Twins

 

The following drawings show various positioning ideas for twins.  For a more detailed description of the basic holds, please see the "Position and Nursing Holds" photo essay.

We know mothers of multiples don't sit around undressed all day! We use photos of topless women nursing because it will help you get a better idea of positioning your babies. However, most of the time you'll be nursing your babies out in the real world, whether on a park bench, at the mall or in a crowded restaurant. And don't worry about nursing in public. You have every right to!
