Table for Two

[laurenh]

Has anyone used a Table for Two www.buytablefortwo.com ? If so, any thoughts one way or the other? I'm bottle feeding the girls and will be on my own during the day starting in about a week and I'm trying to experiment with feeding both at the same time.

I've never heard of it, and the link isn't working for me.

Thanks, I fixed it!

Ah, now I see it.

You could do the same thing with Rock N Plays. You could do it with Boppies too, though that might be best for when their slightly older (not sure how old your babies are).

I mean, it looks neat but I don't know that it's necessary.

They're 11w - I actually tried the boppys on either side of me while sitting on the couch today and it worked well, but presented an issue when one of them spit up because I couldn't leave the other on the couch. I have RNPs though so maybe I'll try that - at least both babies would be secured then if I had to walk away. Thanks

I did it with regular bouncers a few times. The RNP's worked too if I angled them up more with my foot or put a pillow under one end.

Feed them on the floor

Yep! This is what I did, and still do actually. I LOVE boppys.

Edited to add- that's thing looks cool though! I'm just not sure you'd be able to use it as they get older. I'll use my boppys forever.

That looks handy but like pp said I don't think it'd be able to be used long term. I'd try boppy's on the floor. I was never able to successfully feed both at the same time without major spit up so I staggered them. I really wish I'd found something that worked. Good luck!

I do one on boppy and one on lap on a pillow. DD always spit up so she gets lap. I still do that now at 5 mos if I am alone. And the boppy I turn so their legs face back of couch. I've left DS so I can put DD on floor and he never moves. I also put bibs on them plus burp cloth around their neck and it helps. I can even pump while feeding them now

You could also get a twin Z pillow and put that on the floor or bed. I use that or 2 boppies when I want to bottle feed both babies.

[demandypants]

I will use boppies on the floor when I feed both at the same time. But Joey is still eating every 3 hours and Cait every 4 so it is not an issue for me right now

That looks really neat. We've just used the RNPs if we need to feed both at the same time.

Thanks for the ideas everyone! I think we have the boppies worked out, just need to find the most comfortable place for me to sit and not kill my back.

I HATED being on the floor. I sit on our couch and rest my arm on the boppy so I'm not having to really hold it up to hold the bottle. Luckily feedings now take about 10 minutes and then I burp so it does get easier.
