I've had these too---when I was newly nursing DS and when I was newly pregnant, then I just had one last week after this one was a few days old. I finally figured it out after watching a friend who had just completed a big race and "bonked"----she just had low blood sugar. The other night DH just ran and got me something REALLY quickly digestable, and it stopped right away.

It is such a freaky feeling, though, and a bit scary before I figured out what was going on! I hope you get a handle on it and don't have anymore!

Kellymom.com has information about tandem-nursing. That includes nutrition info.
I'm taking so many vitamin pills right now, its ridiculous! I was really shaky for the first week or two, but after I started eating more regularly, it got better.
If you have smoothie mixes, or meal replacements, that can help. Using protien powder can help alot with the shakes.
So Kiki is back in her bed, but she wants to nurse all the time. And she does thing that was cute the first couple times but just annoys me now. She comes up and smells my breasts ok more like inhales deeply
We are getting better with positioning and Kiki is getting very patient, waiting for her turn.( Sometimes I can't get them in position and nurse seperately)
