If my reply posts twice... I am sorry. It isn't showing up, so thought I would try again. I would say go for it. It doesn't hurt to try. My niece had twins 4 months ago and she breast fed both of them. They were small when born (around 5lbs), so she was able to feed both at the same time. She said it saved her time, money and helped her loose the weight. The babies also did really well and gained weight very quickly. Good luck!

I would try breastfeeding both of them. A lot of my friends and family have twins and they all breastfed. Another option for you is to pump.

First let me say that breastfeeding is not easy. But it is very rewarding. I know I would still breastfeed if I had twins. But don't feel discouraged if you have to supplement some the time with formula. Some women have a harder time producing a large supply of milk.
I would suggest that if you are going to go for it and breastfeed twins to find a good support for yourself. Try something like your local La Leche League. The more support you have the easier you will find it to continue breastfeeding even when you feel drained, tierd or discouraged.
I hope that helps you.
