After doing lots of reading on Twins and how they should be fed we decided that we would feed the twins them separately, it may seem at first that this will take twice as long, believe me that everything will take a least twice as long as there is 2 of them. The reasons for feeding them individually was practicality, there will not always be two of us around 24/7, and you can not always rely on help (family & friends). Even if there was 2 of us at home during feeding time only one of us would feed them, at first yes they did cry when the other was being fed but we knew we had to stick to it for the long term. We tried to make sure as often as possible (if they were asleep) to wake one and feed whilst the other was asleep. This was bliss when it worked, sometimes when they were both awake it was so stressful it was like it would never end, scream, feed,change, scream feed change.
HOORAY eventually they did get into the routine, one would be fed and the other one would wait their turn, it was worth all the effort, sleepless nights and tantrums in the end
