Choosing when to wean is a very personal decision. I’m not going to tell you when to do that. However, if you’re considering dropping nursing/bottles, you’re in the right place.

Mama, I have good news. After the newborn stage, combo-feeding gets a bit easier with twins.
By 4 months, you’ve probably mastered tandem nursing and are well into the prop-to-bottle phase. Soon enough, your babes will hold their own bottles while you gaze lovingly at them, sipping your hopefully hot coffee.

Real talk: I spent the first year of my boys’ lives trying to kick formula to the curb. Due to a lack of medical support, proper research on my part, and a pandemic leaving us isolated without hands-on assistance, we fell into supplementing with formula.
At my boys’ four-month check-up, I finally put my foot down and announced I was going to try exclusively breastfeeding.
Spoiler alert: it was an epic failure.

I was always under the impression there were only two ways to feed a baby: exclusively breastfeeding or formula bottle feeding. After getting pregnant, I learned exclusively pumping and bottle feeding breastmilk was also a primary feeding option.
There is also the unique (and exhausting) hybrid of all three. This post is all about combo-feeding twins from birth through three months.
