Hi. Is it getting any easier for you? I am tandem nursing my 2 girls, but since Mia is 3, it's a bit easier than that for me. She will wait her turn usually, or only latch on for a couple seconds if I am nursing Audra. She's pretty handy at getting access too. I'm actually getting a little sad about Mia being so understanding, because I think she will probably wean herself in a few months (as she should, I guess). I just feel a little ambivalent about the whole thing.

Anyway, just wanted to give you some encouragement.

Chantel, Mama to Mia 10/8/01 and Audra 10/26/04

Oh yeah, I had that problem when I started TN'ing with SAndrine and Nyssa. I could ONLY make it work sitting in a big lazyboy chair with Sandrine in the cradle hold and Nyssa in the football hold. This worked until Nyssa was about a year and then finally they started positioning themself better and I could lie down flat on my back and have them both nurse at once. ;-) But I don't really like nursing both at once so I usually save that for if it seems they REALLY need it.
