Our older sister who had twin girls for her 3rd and 4th children had her hands full when they were born. And although she had a 5 year old, 3 year old and newborn twins, she was committed to breastfeeding them for as long as possible as she had done with her older two children. She pumped sometimes so others could help her feed one of the little twinnies while she tried to rest or fed the other baby. But one thing she swears helped her nurse her twins far longer than she thought she would be able to was the extra large Inflatable Pillow she bought just before having them. The pillow was shaped just right for feeding the babies at the same time and was just wide enough that the babies could be comfortable and not roll off the pillow's side. She also liked that she could increase or decrease the air level depending on her needs and had a back pillow for her. She also loved that the pillow had an angled top surface which helped to position the girls at the best angle for effective nursing. Plus the soft velvet, non-slip surface was completely waterproof & surface-washable.
The fact that the pillow deflated and inflated easily was a big plus too for storage convenience and although she never traveled with the girls when they were bring breastfeed, she liked the idea that if she had needed to, she could have deflated the pillow and taken it conveniently to where ever they needed to go.
Here is some additional information about this pillow from Twinstuff.com. There is also a foam version of this extra large, twin breastfeeding pillow so check that out as well below.
Hope this review helps any moms or dads-to-be out there expecting multiples with feeding their little ones more easily and conveniently.

I had the non-inflatable one. I loved it. I was able to breastfeed them both at the same time, which in the beginning was critical... otherwise, I probably would have had my boobs out all day! :)
