Winning at tandem breastfeeding in the NICU๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ’ฅ

From a few drops of colostrum (and almost giving up) to fully breastfeeding her twins comfortably in the NICU - you are an amazing mommy! You and your babies were true fighters!!

Key points for all NICU moms from this ๐Ÿ‘† moms journey:

1. Start early with hand expression
2. Stay committed to frequent expressing
3. Never ever stop and give up even if you get 0.4ml - its worth gold ๐Ÿฅ‡
4. If comfortable, share your every moment - good or bad with us - we are here to support your every step
5. Never settle for less or give up- be a fighter and preservere, you will bear the fruits of your hard work!!!
6. Keep positive thoughts...and its okay to cry once in a whileโค๏ธ

Every journey is different for every baby and mommy- celebrate your own unique successes - big or small, they all count

The big question โ‰๏ธ When is it time to start solid foods?๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ‰๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’

Remember:

2. The world health organisation (WHO) recommends that solid foods be started from 6 months

Starting solid foods is an amazing journey - enjoy every special moment of this phase๐Ÿ’œ
