  ive heard and see on tv, where mums get one of those bent pillows and lay both babies up against is and feed them at the same time. or in bouncy chairs. You can also use the pillow in bed. Good luck xxx

  Hi,
  
  
  
  I also used the bouncy chairs. I found it much easier to put them up on the sofa and sit in the middle of them. So much easier on your back than bending down to do it.
  
  
  
  Also, I got them in a routine by waking the other when one woke up for a night feed. Mine are 6 months old now and eat and sleep at the same time.
  
  
  
  Good luck xx

  Hi
  
  
  
  My twin boys are 10 weeks so we are about the same stage as you. We have only had both of them at home for the last 3 weeks and are still trying out different ways to find what works best for us. I have been using a v-shaped pillow and it has been getting easier although still find it easier to feed them separately but obviously takes up more time. I am going to try bouncy chairs soon now that Jared is breathing better in a seated position (he had to have an op on his wind and food pipe)
  
  
  
  Sorry I'm not much help but nice to know someone is at the same stage xx
