Jo3, hahah... actually i didn't use hot towel or massage much too. Just latched on. But it's a good practice which I think i'll try this time round. Alternatively try drinking sthg hot b4 feeding.
If bb latches on properly, they won't hurt us even with teeth. Without correct latch-on, even their gums can hurt!! Of course, some babies might experiment and bite. By then, can sorta teach them cannot bite otherwise mummy won't feed them.
Dun give up after u've come so far. Maybe cos u have twins that's why it's hard to supply for both. If u give one breast, possibly not enuf. But hard to say, also depends on ur supply. If u think not enuf, u can consider topping up with FM after latching on if u dun mind doing partial BF.
How long baby latches on depends on how well they suckle and how quickly u let down. Each baby is different. And as they grow older, they'll become more efficient in suckling. Prob will take lesser time to empty ur breasts. Hang in there!
