Nursery furniture for nursing?

[bluebonnet22]

With my singleton DS I would nurse him in the MOTN in a glider in his nursery. When he was very young (< 4 months) he slept in our room, but once he was only feeding 1-2x per night we preferred him to be in his nursery and doing the feedings in the dark in the same room worked well for us. 

I'm so confused how this will work with twins! We will be doing a combination of nursing and FF (depends how well tandem nursing works out!), but I have no idea WHERE we will be doing the MOTN feedings. I prefer to keep them in the nursery past 4 months or so and I don't know logistically how you guys feed your babies (especially when you feed two at once!). Do you have a huge glider ? A loveseat in the nursery? A daybed? Do you schlep them out of the nursery into the living room or your bedroom for all the feedings. Sorry for the dumb question, I just can't wrap my head around what type of furniture I need.

Our house isn't very big so we fed on the couch in the living room. It's only five steps from their room. We didn't really have the extra space for a rocker/glider.

I tandem nurse mine on a MBF twin nursing pillow. When they were still waking at night they were in our room and I nursed them on the bed, DH helped me set them up. They stayed in our room until 5-6 months. They started STTN pretty consistently early on, except DD1 who frequently STTN them regresses. They are in their own room now and I usually nurse either on the couch or on our bed, then put them in their cribs. I nurse them either on my bed or on the floor in the morning. They take 5-10 (usually on the lower end) minutes to nurse so for me it isn't a big deal. There's no room for any other furniture in their room or ours, so we would have to make due regardless.

I nursed during the day on the couch (MBF Twin). At night, I used the bed.

I spent the first 4 months in the guest bedroom though due to DH's schedule and needing sleep. No way could I have BFed in bed with him - I tandemed from pretty much the beginning and there really wasn't the room.

Once kids moved to their cribs, I would sit on the ground for night feedings. The 'dismount' was easier that way. My two always passed out, so it was a dance to get them into cribs then.

As they grew, the ground worked best for all situations (nothing to kick behind them).

TLDR - with twins, it's either an empty bed, couch, or floor.

We have a glider in the nursery, but I rarely use it for nursing. I preferred to bring babies to my bed for feeding, but our room is directly across the hall from the nursery.

I also mostly nursed one at a time unless they were both screaming. My guys have always been pretty efficient and actually nursed better one on one. I was so sure I would tandem nurse, but one at a time worked better for us until about 10 months when they started getting jealous. Now we usually tandem.

We have a queen bed and DH has never had to move for me to have room to tandem nurse.

It'll probably be a trial and error process. You'll figure out what works for you.

I had a glider, but I never used it. Usually, I sat on the floor to feed them.

I personally was never very comfortable sitting up and nursing in bed, even with a singleton. I prefer rocking chairs. I have a basic rocker/recliner in the nursery in which I was able to use a regular boppy and tandem nurse at night. It worked best when DH was able to help with transitions to/from, but if not I found a way to get each up on a shoulder to burp them and was able to lay them back down together. I did this until they were about 3 months old, when DS2 started STTN.

During the day I primarily used MBF Twin pillow on the couch.

I had a big recliner chair in the nursery and I could just barely squeeze myself in with the my brest friend pillow between the chair arms. DH helped.with all feedings though so it worked.

bluebonnet22, Thanks for starting this thread! I nursed DD in a glider in her room from the get go. Not sure what type of glider we will
get for the twins.
