I have fraternal twin boy who are 12 weeks now. They were born at 30 weeks and 2 days. Here's my issue. My one son eat almost 6 oz at every feeding. He's now weighing 11.3. Now my other son is only eating 3-4 oz and is weighing 10.11. Is this normal? First time mom here. I just worry he's not getting enough. They are on enfamil enfacare since the neosure was to harsh on there bellies and bottoms. Any advise or reassurance would be nice. Thanks
I'm not a mommy yet, my twins are due in a few months. But wanted to offer some support for whatever its worth! I've been told and I've heard others say that as long as babies are gaining then that is a step in the right direction! Sounds like your boys are pretty close in weight too which is good!
Maybe give your pediatrician a call and see what they say! Thinking of you!
It's so hard not to compare them. Both are in the "normal" range.
Did you sign up with enfacare to get a free case sent to you each month? Also I ordered mine through amazon Mom and they had a great price with free shipping. Also don't be afraid to ask for more freebies when you go to Dr. I know that they also had me mix the enfacare "stronger" for while so it would be more like 24 calories.
My boys always had about a 1# difference. Of course one had bad reflux.
Now at 2 they both take turns being the heaviest and the bigger eater...
