It was about 7 weeks for my LO to stop cluster feeding and to take only 5-10 min to nurse at each session.

im at 7 weeks wiht my boy and he is still feeding every 2-3 1/2 hours during the day but down to about 2 feedings at night!

It took awhile. That whole first month I hardly got sleep unless dh was holding ds for me!!

Gosh I couldn't imagine doing it with twins!! You seriously are ah-mazing for nursing twins; you go girl!!

And hope your little sweeties give you a break soon

Two q's out of curiosity:
Do you nurse both at the same time so that they're on the same schedule?

Also, do you have them sleep together?

I seem to be the minority but DD started eating every 4 hours at 2 weeks old. Our schedule was 10,2,6. That went on until she was 5 weeks and then she started getting 6 hour stretches. At 7 weeks she started sleeping through the night. There's hope!! It doesn't last for too long, don't worry I know twins are more difficult but hopefully they'll let momma sleep more soon!

My LO was always great about going 4hrs+ at night from birth. She started sleeping 9hrs+ at night at 9 weeks. However, during the day she always efficiently but often. She's 3.5 months now and eats every 2.5-3 hours. And it has only been that way for about 3 weeks.

Oh how I feel for you! My LO is 3.5 weeks now, but he did that for about the two weeks. I feel pretty lucky now because he sleeps sooo well at night. He will sleep for 3-4 hour stretches, wake up to nurse and fall asleep nursing, with no crying involved. He still nurses every 2-2.5 hrs during the day. Those first two weeks though were rough, especially not knowing if/when it might improve. Not sure if it helped, but I would wake him in the morning and take him on a walk in the sunshine to try to help him differentiate night and day (supposedly they can't do this until 6 weeks, but he is very wakeful in the mornings now). Do you swaddle them at night? Do they break out? This was our problem and my pediatrician told me to double swaddle him (I leave in diaper only to prevent overheating, use miracle blanket first, then Aden+anais over that) From the very first night I tried this he started sleeping so much better! She said if they wake for whatever reason they often just want to nurse for comfort. Worked wonders for us.

Congrats on your twins! I can't Imagine doing this with two
