One of my friends breastfed her twins until they were 2.

I think complimentary feeding is up to you when you want to do it. I think that if you've breastfed without problems with twins, complimenary feeding wouldn't be anything different than it would be introducing it to single baby vs your twins.

congratulations on doing the impossible - I had problems feeding both of my single babies. had a real struggle, but I beat it with my second and am still nursing my almost 13mo old. I did start solids with her at 5mo, as I think she needed the extra calories, and was ready for solids.

I have been exclusively breastfeeding my twins for 5 months. I was told that it would be impossible! They were 3.3kg at birth each and are now (6.3 and 7kg). But I have have done it! I have 3 weeks left till they are 6 months. I was wondering whether any one out there has a similar experience. I want to start adding complementary feeding but I am a bit nervous about it.
I am not sure if I should just wait to 6 months
Does anyone have experience please.
