I have two questions.
My first is, I am expecting twin girls. Do you like the names
Taylor Morgan and Elizabeth Brooke?
My second is, is there a website that gives info on breastfeeding twins. I really need help with that. Because I am 37 weeks and 4cm dialated and my doctor said that I will be delivering in about a week. Thank you!!

Breastfeeding imaginary twins is really easy. My 3 year old does it all the time. Since you're only 12 (see sources section below), you shouldn't have any problems.

As long as u like those names who cares what anyone else thinks. When u deliver the hospital should have lactation nurses that should be able to help educate u on breastfeeding twins. Breastfeeding twins is not impossible...my twin boys r now 4 yrs old. By the way I think those r great names.

make sure you breastfeed as frequently as you can, this will stimulate you to produce more milk. And don't worry if it becomes too much work down the road, the most important part of breastfeeding is in the first few weeks, for brain development (also a nice way to bond). Make sure you get help at home in the beginning so you can rest! Enjoy the magic, you'll love them more than you can possibly imagine! And yes,the names are lovely.

Does it matter if we like the names you have picked out for your children? What we think does not matter. My two daughters have old fashioned names, as will the child I am pregnant with now. Name your babies what you want to, like I did.

As for the breastfeeding, try lalecheleague.org.
It might be .com instead. I'm not sure, but it will be a good one.
Also, ask your doctor. The hospital you deliver at should have a nursing expert somewhere close by.

For your first question: I like Elizabeth Brooke, but I don't like Taylor Morgan. I like Morgan but hate Taylor. Really, your kids are going to get teased if their names are Elizabeth & Taylor (do those names ring a bell?..ahem Elizabeth Taylor..). How about Morgan Sydney and Elizabeth Brooke? I like those better.

For your second question: I don't know. :) I've never had twins but I'm sure if you just keep looking you'll find one.

Not to be mean but i dont like the name Taylor... all of those names are common so you will have the problem with a million girls with the same name in school (my daughters name is Emma Kaylee) i also like the name Elyssa Anastacia...heres a website for the breastfeeing question...

I think that the easiest way to breast feed twins is to get them on different feeding schedules. That way you get to spend alone time with each twin. Maybe feed one while the other one is sleeping.
Also you could call a public health nurse to come to your house after you have the babies and she will help you out and answer any questions you may have.

Contact your local La Leche League for some support. There may be a Leader or member near you who has breastfed twins. They could be a very valuable support system for you!

There is also a book called "Mothering Multiples" that you may want to read. Your LLL group will probably have a copy in their lending library.

i am also expecting twin girls. i am 20 weeks and actually have a few questions of my own. i have recently noticed that they feel heavier down low. there is pressure down low if i have been sitting for a while. its like they settled. also, i cant feel my cervix anymore. does it get higher during the pregnancy? to answer your question, i have been told to feed them at the same time and to get them on the same schedule. i am planning on breastfeeding too. you'll have to try to hold them like footballs with their feet under your arms.

I think those are pretty names for little girls. Cute and sweet. If you put "breastfeeding multiples" into a search engine, you should come back with some results.

I like the names alot. About the breast feeding~~~there are lots of sites, but until you get to the point of actually doing it's still going to seem a bit puzzling. I nursed all of my kids (I have three but they are all different ages). They will have someone at the hospital who is educated about nursing and will be of great help. Infact~~~Why don't you call your hospital now, find out who see is, and talk to her.
