My Story: Breast is Best But Balance is Important
Breastfeeding is hard but if you stick together as a couple, surround yourselves with support you can trust and stay the course, it can be a really rewarding ride.

I’ve just had twins, so I know it takes time, but just how long would it take to get back to my pre-baby weight? Will I ever be able to fit into my old jeans?
I’m not exaggerating but the first 24 hours at home was a complete nightmare. The babies were inconsolable, I was engorged and we had no idea what to do.
Shared spaces take a bit of extra planning, but the result can be a room that will create lasting memories. Take a look at some gorgeous shared kids rooms that we’ve found online.
During my midwife’s third visit, she told me she wasn’t happy with one of the twins’ weight gain. My worst nightmare happened: it was time to supplement two of the baby’s feeds with formula. I felt like the worst mum in the world.
There are many resources you can rely on today for an enjoyable breastfeeding experience. Here are some that I found the most useful when I started breastfeeding my three-month old twins.
I decided that I needed to shop around for a doctor who can deliver my twins vaginally because not many of the ‘younger’ doctors do it. I’m guessing it’s easier for them – they get to schedule it, they’re in and out in an hour or two tops, and they don’t need to wait around while you’re in labour.
When we became pregnant with our twins last year, we suddenly found ourselves part of a secret club. The hidden trapdoor to the secret society of parenthood opened and welcomed us within.
Every girl has thought of her dream wedding probably since the age of eight – what her dress would look like, where the wedding reception will be held, the colour theme, etc. Strangely enough, I never imagined my perfect wedding; instead I have always envisioned my dream birth.
