How much do the babies weigh? When you are squeezing her nipple, you have to squeeze the mammary gland above the little nipple or you wont get any milk.....You want the babies to continue to try to nurse on momma in order for the milk to come on down, like bjh said.....you are walking the fine line now, making sure they are getting enough from you to keep them from loosing weight and continuing to gain, and letting them get enough nursing from momma to bring her milk down. That is why it is important to give 1cc/oz of body weight every 2 hours to 3 hours....that will be enough nutritional supplement and calories to keep them from fading, and yet allow them to get hungry enough to nurse between feeding from you. Allowing them to be cleaned by momma is vital...the bonding that takes place with that is crucial....and it will stimulate babies to nurse and momma to produce more milk .....it is all a dominoe effect....a balancing act.
