Hi Roxy

I used the EZ2 pillow for feeding too, both bf and bottle. Definitely a must purchase for any twin mum I say! I stopped using it though for the same reason as you, the twins just outgrew it's length. I don't bf anymore but all i do to bottle feed is place a regular pillow on my lap and put the twins head to head diagonally with the legs just on the sofa by my side (does that make sense?) Maybe you could adapt this for bf too? The V pillows you can get for pregnancy/feeding are much much longer and softer, and may be something that could help also?

Hi Roxy, I'm a bit out of date here, but did you come up with a solution? I'm still using the EZ-2 nurse pillow with my twins although it's not easy because they are so big and heavy and Finn especially is a little wriggler, they've both managed to wriggle right off (feet first into sitting position on sofa, so safe!). In the day time I feed them on the sofa, and have a cushion stuffed under each side to keep the cushion up. I also have a blanket behind the back pillow which pushes me forward a bit so there's a bit more leg room. They kind of curl around me, and I pull their bottoms out sideways a bit to get a bit more length room. For the last feed of the day and the first 2 feed of the next day, I feed them in bed. Then I use my pillows, both against the wall, but the one closest to me folded lengthways in half, then the ends of the EZ-2 pillow sit on top of that (as does the back pillow), and I use my knees to prop up the front. They then have a fair distance to the wall. I'm not sure how long I can keep it up though. At my breastfeeding group I go to, I got the lady who runs it to try and show me some no pillow solutions, but it just didn't work as they are too big! They feed fairly quickly now, so I think at some point I will resort to feeding one at a time as they are only getting more and more wriggly!
