It was found that the number of twin babies who were only breastfed in the first six months of life was low. According to the literature, a mother's breast milk is sufficient for multiple babies. Mothers expecting twin babies should be informed about the benefits of breastfeeding and be encouraged to breastfeed. They should also receive training on this subject.
