Abstract
Although breastfeeding two or more infants requires greater organization and presents a challenge to the family, it may in the long run save time. Fatigue, the greatest deterrent to breastfeeding multiples, is common among all new mothers. It is essential for the nurse to demonstrate all of the potential positions for feeding, to stress adequate nutrition, and to encourage getting help from others so that the mother has time to rest each day. Nurses are in an optimal position for influencing successful breastfeeding for multiple birth parents. The dearth of knowledge about breastfeeding twins or other multiples indicates the need for research in this area.
