You've been doing a great job and you're right, any BM is beneficial. Have you visited the March of Dimes community for parents of preemies? It's a great place to go to talk with other preemie parents about successes, challenges and ideas. It's called Share Your Story and here's a link to it: http://www.shareyourstory.org/. Your little guys are adorable! Breastfeeding twins is tough and often there are issues with preemies. You’ve been doing a great job and you’re right, any BM is beneficial.

I had to start Reglan when I went back to work. I took it until Aiden was 6 months. If you need to talk about any of the side effects, let me know.

One thing you didn't mention in the BFing difficulties is skin to skin contact... I have seen that help a lot of my students with supply issues, so it might be something to try - just you with one or both babies in only diapers, staying in bed for as long as possible and nursing as often as he/they will do it. But as you said, a happy mom is the most important thing! Can you look into donor breastmilk from the PSL milk bank? I think it requires a prescription but then insurance might cover it.

I understand your concerns about the cost of the formula. One of my kitties is on an inhaler for asthma. At her current dose one inhaler lasts almost 4 months, which is good because they cost $150 a piece. Very expensive, some of these things are! Perhaps the special formula can count as medical expenses for taxes? (I'm wishing I could do the same with my vet bills...) Hugs to ya! Good thoughts headed your way!!!!
