Question
What is the definitive guide to Kanika Chadda Gupta’s breastfeeding journey with twins and a newborn?
Answer
My breastfeeding journey with my twins and newborn was quite an adventure. When my twins were born, I was determined to breastfeed them despite the challenges. I hand expressed my colostrum till my breasts were bruised purple on the first day. By the second day, I learned how to tandem breastfeed using a Twin Z Pillow. There were tough times, like late nights and sick days, but seeing my babies looking up at me kept me going. I nursed them for nine and a half months until they weaned themselves off.
When my newborn son came along, I felt more confident and comfortable. He was a hungry little one, so I didn't get much sleep. But I cherished the bond we shared during those moments. I believe that whether you choose breastfeeding, pumping, or formula, all mothers are superheroes for nourishing their babies.
Is there anything specific you'd like to know about my breastfeeding journey?
