   I love this couple. I was so excited when Melissa Etheridge won the award for Best Original Song.

   I love, love, LOVE them!! I’m so happy that Melissa won the Oscar and it was SO beautiful to me that the first people she thanked were Tammy and their kids =) I was almost crying when she won! LOL =)

   Personally, I think Tammy is looking GORGEOUS – motherhood has done her good! =)

   I have almost 14 month old twins and I am still breastfeeding them. It’s not an easy thing to do, especially at first, but I know it is right for my babies so I am sticking with it. My goal is 18 months and then I am going to let them self-wean.

   I’ve been there done that with twins and it’s quite a feat. I had one that nursed well and the other was a struggle at each feeding. But I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to breastfeed twins.

   Breastfeeding twins is not that unusual. I bf mine until they were a year old.

   I tried to breastfeed my twins. They were almost 7 lbs each and full term at birth. I gave up after about 3 weeks because it just wasn’t working out. It wasn’t for lack of trying, though. We hired a lactation consultant to come to the house and I actually found that put more stress on me. Anyway, breastmilk wasn’t filling the babies up and they weren’t even close to being on the same schedule. I was literally sitting up 24/7 either breastfeeding or pumping.

   I was very disappointed, actually heartbroken, that the breastfeeding didn’t work out, but I’m grateful that they’re now happy, healthy, and smart 6-year-olds!

   That said, if I ever decide to have another baby, I would definitely breastfeed or at least give it another try! I often look back and wish I had hung in there longer. I guess being exhausted and having incredibly sore boobs got the better of me.

   I’ve breastfed my twins for 22 months so far, and there’s no end in sight!

   I breastfed my quadruplets exclusively until they were 4 mos. old, when I had to start supplementing with formula due to their increasing appetites. However, I continued to breastfeed until they were 1 when I found out I was pregnant again (which could have explained their sudden urge to wean). It is definitely tougher with multiples, but I figured with their early births, they could use every advantage they could get.

   Wow! quadruplets and another one on the way.
   Congratulations and good luck.

   I LOVE that couple, they are so beautiful together and beautiful mothers. And I found it So beautiful too that she thanked her wife Tammy, and their 4 kids, Bailey, Beckett, Johnnie and Miller. I was almost crying too. Tammy was really GORGEOUS and I really liked Melissa’s performance. I think I’ll buy her disk.

   Love you Tammy, Melissa, Johnnie and Miller, Bailey and Beckett.

    My girls were born at 34 weeks and stayed in special care for two weeks, I only managed to breastfeed for a couple of days and was told this was because we were separated. I was quite sad that I wasn’t able to continue but I think the fact that I wasn’t able to walk and had to get better may also have been a factor.

    I breastfeed my twins, who are currently almost 8 months old. I’m ten pounds down from my pre-pregnancy weight – nursing twins really is the world’s best diet.

    I’m so impressed by the woman who BF quads!

    My twin boys were full-term – 6 1/2 and 7 1/2 lbs. – and I’m still nursing them at 10 months.
