Breastfeeding more than one baby is absolutely possible, but it comes with its own unique set of challenges. All the aspects of caring for a newborn are literally multiplied - more diapers, more outfit changes, more crying, more feedings, more baths, more baby gear, more snuggles, and more love.

The medical definition of “postpartum” is the first six weeks after you give birth. But talk to anyone who has had a baby before and they will tell you that the postpartum period is much longer than that! This time after birth has also recently been referred to as “the fourth trimester,” which would imply that it is actually about 12 weeks long since each trimester is about 12 weeks.
