Breastfeeding Multiples FAQ: Will My Body Produce Enough Breastmilk for Twins?

By Pamela Prindle Fierro, About.com

Question: Breastfeeding Multiples FAQ: Will My Body Produce Enough Breastmilk for Twins?

Answer:

Yes, absolutely! The breastfeeding process is based on supply and demand. Your body will produce enough milk to meet the demands of your babies. The more they nurse, the more milk you'll produce.

If you feel like your body is not producing enough milk, you can use a breast pump to build up supply.
