I haven't read all the other responses, but I wanted to offer a (((hug))) and a great job to you.  You are amazing!    When my twins were newborn, I used a big twin nursing pillow and did tandem nurse them.  It...

OMGoodness. I am so SO tired of "you sure have your hands full."  Makes me want to scream.  I know people don't mean anything by it, but really.   One I got a lot at first, but haven't for awhile, was...
