@drterrapin My twins were fed every which way but I also had success nursing them. Nicu will absolutely take expressed milk and if your twins are able to nurse they will definitely let you promote that. Mine were too fragile and weak to nurse (and small) and had to be tube fed but once they...

@grace4us You're truly in the thick of it but I promise it does get better. But "soon" is a relative term.

(This child also didn't like rocking, excessive...
