We have a regime.
In this regime, we prioritise Ivy's milk intake and my poor nipples. It goes like this:
* During the day I express and we feed both babies the expressed milk in bottles. This gives my nipples a rest.
* At night I breastfeed both babies. This is supposedly easier that bottles (no bottle-preparing and -washing = more sleep).
However, we also decided that it was a good idea to offer Ivy a bottle after each breastfeed, just in case she would take a little extra. But at night she is so very very sleeepy that she will not countenance the suggestion. Many wasted little bottles so far, and not much sleep.
I plan to persist with this for a week, to give it a chance to work. Ivy
