I don’t know, if I were you I’d dry off your cow. I milked goats while my second child was an infant and it was awful, I would never want to do it with twins.
I should probably dry off Dottie, you’re right. Rina I would like to keep in milk until Daffy is at least 10 months. She’s currently 8 months and while she is technically Dottie’s daughter, Rina is her surrogate mother. Like I’ve said before, Dottie is a real bad mama. 😂

Can anyone help with chores? When each of my babes were little they would nurse for 40 minutes... every hour. 😩 If you are doing paced bottle feeding + nursing and/or pumping you might be struggling for a while. I think its nature's way of giving new mommas a time out so they can recover physically.
My girls were the same, minimum 30-40 minutes until they were older and they would fall asleep so the process started all over when I roused them

A moby wrap is a piece of fabric that is 5 yards long by about 22 inches. (Twin flat bedsheet, cut in half the long way, sew the pieces together using a felled flat seam, hem the edges. Some people like a little bit of stretch to a wrap, but be careful because too much stretch isn't safe.) You can wear twins skin-to-skin because it covers momma like a shirt. You can wear over clothes too. You can carry one or two babies at a time, and can wear from newborn through toddler.
