My twins are now 2 years old and I don't want to discourage you from breastfeeding yours but it is very difficult until (and IF) you get them on some sort of schedule. My first child was an excellent breastfeeder so I thought it wouldn't be a problem with the twins. Not so ... one of my twins was such a slow feeder that by the time she had finished, it was time to feed her brother. What I did for awhile was alternate days between them. One day my daughter would breastfeed and my son would get formula and then the next day we'd switch ... my son got breastfed and my daughter got formula. That worked much better and I got more sleep!!! This is just my experience. My advice is try to come up with something that's workable for you but realize that you might have to alter those plans. Sometimes things are out of your control. All the best!
