Breastfeeding Twins Video

Breastfeed twins is a professionally produced video that follows the mothers of three sets of twins during their time in hospital and at home while they are establishing feeding.

Childbirth educators, midwives and breastfeeding counsellors will find it a useful training tool when teaching the art and science of breastfeeding.

Parents expecting twins will find the video contains useful and reassuring advice that will make their first few months of parenthood more rewarding.

All of the babies are born prematurely, so the focus is on:

    • Establishing breastfeeding
    • Mothers feelings about breastfeeding
    • Kangaroo care
    • Hand expressing of breast milk
    • Use of an electric pump for expressing breast milk

Approximate running time: 16 minutes
