do your twins eat any other sort of baby food? bananas? baby cereal? etc?

At this point, it's a little late to start planning, can you pump any milk between tonite and tomorrow? My twins were 5 months old when on YK, I drank lots of powerade/water, before the fast, and just tried to take it easy, I remember that year was gorgeous outside, and we just spend lots of time outside in their stroller,

Good Luck!!

you should be fine. if you have been nursing them until now, and they are 9mo kyh, then don't worry. You will have enough milk. Just be sure to drink a lot after the fast. if you are nervous, have some sour cream the morning after the fast and almonds, but mostly just drink, drink, drink.
