Hugs mama!!!
They at least are getting your milk and that is wonderful!

You may want to consider the long term effect of not breastfeeding. If you think you could handle bottle feeding when the girls get home, then maybe that is what you may do.

But I encourage you NOT to give up.
It takes much more muscle power to breastfeed whereas the bottle just flows even when they are half asleep, KWIM?
Of course they are going to get more if they cannot vigorously nurse right now.

AS they grow I bet they will breastfeed much better for you.

Even if your finances are tight right now, Keep pumping and try when you can to get them to latch on without feeling to discouraged. I hope money works out so that you can be with the girls often for your sanity sake.

You have jsut come through a big situation and it is all going to take time. Dont give up unless you feel bottle feeding is just going to be best when you get home.
Love and Hugs!
