This journey of Tandem feeding my girls has been unlike anything I've ever experienced! They have started asking for milk by pointing and making a sweet mmm mmm sound. 20 months of sharing my body with these two amazing human beings and I am ready to continue our journey until the day they decide to ween! #tandemnursing #tandembreastfeeding #twins #identicaltwins #twinmom

#tbt 5/19/15 when my #twins were 5 weeks old and despite the sleep deprivation and frequent (every 2-3 hours, 24-7, 45 min at a time) #breastfeeding, I was still getting shit done.  #MarinaAbramovic thinks children hold women back in the art world, but as @dubz19 put so aptly, "FUKKK THAT". All Marina knows is her own experience, and it may be true for her, but that is not everyone's experience nor truth. Becoming a #mom (of twins no less) has personally helped me become a better #artist - I learned to be extremely efficient with my time, prioritize what's important and let go of the rest, and #multitask like a champ.  I learned to function (even if barely) on very little sleep, and out of the chaos, insanity and even torture at times, a flood of new emotions entered into my work, becoming more interesting & layered as a result.  I'm also not saying that artist parents are better artists than non-parent artists, or that choosing not to be a parent will deny you access to these learning experiences.  What I am saying is that parenting is like any other challenge in life - the biggest fucking challenge in my own life thus far - and if you embrace it and figure out creative solutions, you can emerge a better person.  It's important to think about the ways in which these challenges can help you move forward, rather than hold you back.  #artistmom #tandembreastfeeding #multitasking #heinkoh #greenpoint #brooklyn #nyc

Friends, I've started a new page called @fed_is_best ???? inevitably, whenever I've posted about bottle feeding I receive judgmental comments about how breast is best (it is, but that's not the point), that person should do whatever it takes to breastfeed, how dare you promote formula, etc etc... It's not always that simple! @fed_is_best is a safe place for people to share their feeding journeys of ALL kinds-- bottle, breast, toddler, tandem, NICU, feeding tube, and more. Join the movement by following the page and sharing your story with us through DM and/or the tag #fedisbest ?? because we could all use less judgement and more love ?? #Repost @fed_is_best ··· ?Tandem breastfeeding? the magic of feeding two tiny humans at the same time ?? #fedisbest #breastfeeding #tandembreastfeeding #motherhood ?? @annahutchisonphotog mama @shelsinki

The morning after Ever's birth and our first tandem nurse was and still is one of the most memorable days of my life and my experience as a mother. I think back to the times I stayed awake staring long after they went to sleep. Heavy eyes met me in the morning but the ebb and flow of their breathe will be forever rhythmically in tune with Sea of Love and that loving mood. It goes by so fast. So incredibly fast. It's funny how you never really notice until they're almost thirteen and they're asking you if they can go to South America. This was the beginning of my last mother chapter and now I'll forever have this moment to look upon thanks to this community and the confidence in myself to share moments like this with the world. #tribedemama #motherhoodrising #empoweredbirthproject #birthofamama ?

Awww my heart melts... ???? I was looking back over photos today and found this. Thought it was the perfect time to share again since we are in #worldbreastfeedingweek. BUT while it's nice to celebrate World Breastfeeding Week I think we should actually be celebrating ALL the mamas and bubbas out there! Breast or bottle ~ a fed baby is a HAPPY baby! I have seen first hand how struggles with breastfeeding can emotionally torment mothers, it's so important that while we do celebrate breastfeeding journeys that we also celebrate mums for ALWAYS trying their best ???? Those very early days, weeks and months of breastfeeding were REALLY tough. I remember in the first few weeks it just completely ZAPPING me, I could barely function and I felt like it just drained every ounce of energy I had. Sometimes I felt so exhausted and physically and emotionally drained from it I almost felt like I had no love to give ???? It was sooooo hard and I really didn't know how I was going to continue... But I know now looking back it was just my body adjusting ~ hormones, no sleep, giving birth, adjusting to life with 2 babies in it - BIG changes that are sure to knock you around. We eventually found our groove with breastfeeding and although I felt like it really restricted me from ever leaving the house in that first year I was quite emotional, extremely anxious and really sad and scared when Lachie and Samuel self weaned at around 13 months. I was worried we would lose part of 'US' but it's amazing how they have been able to show me love and share our special bond in other ways. Now they come up and cuddle right into me, blow kisses, plant big sloppy ones on my face and wrap their arms around my legs as I walk ???? so much love for this mama. I know breastfeeding is just one journeys we shared and I'm so excited for what others are to come ???? So while it has been lovely to see all the beautiful breastfeeding pictures this past week I would just like to also say that I think ALL mamas are BEAUTIFUL ~ everyone's journey is different ~ and everyone's journey is special ~ NOT just one week of the year ~ but EVERY week of the year ?????? keep on shining mamas ????

Happy worldwide breastfeeding week. He self weened at 22 months and then restarted 8 months later when the little one was 3 months old. I have now been able to tandem nurse for the past three months mostly in secret. Everyone knows I breastfeed my babies when they are still babies and now everyone knows that at almost three he still breastfeeds too, and that there is nothing wrong or gross about it. #tandemnursing #tandembreastfeeding #tandembreastfeedingwithoutshame #normalizebreastfeeding #motherhood #extendedbreastfeeding #siblings #badassbreastfeeder #blueeyes #breastfeedwithoutfear #brotherandsister #attachmentparenting #breastfeeding #nursing #thisiswhatboobsarefor #milk #fedisbest #worldbreastfeedingweek
