feedings

i have two month old twins.. b/g
my boy is doing great with feedings ..
but sometimes my lttle girl feeds well then goes like 5 hrs and then I go to feed her and she takes like 3ozs.. I am concerned not sure if this is normal.. she is gaining weight.. she weighed at her 2 mth appt. 9.4
and my boy weighed 11.11.. that is another thing is that too much?
how many oz's is your twins taking at 2 mths?
thanks ladies

 

I think that's normal. Mine were feeding 3-4oz every three hours on average at 2 months. How many ounces is your boy taking per feeding? If your pediatrician isn't concerned, I don't think you have a problem

ETA: I have some big boys, they were almost 13lbs at their 2 month appt!

 

I have twin b/g also
My son was always the eager eater and so easy at his early feedings and even when I started spoon feeding. My daughter on the other hand would sometimes skip a feeding and teaching her to be spoon fed was a mess. Everything is fine they are different and your daughter will feed when she is hungry. It makes it hard to have them on the same schedule.
It gets easier.

 

My DS is the big eater, he has yet to turn down a bottle
DD on the other hand could go 5 hrs and just smile at me and play with her bottle. when she is hungry tho she is like a machine!
They both are gaining weight and doing well so I try not to worry but it bothers me all the same.

Sounds exactly like my two. James can go a long time without eating and he often eats 1/2 or 2/3 of what his brother does. Evan on the other hand starts reminding me at 2.5 hours that it's almost time to eat!!
I wouldn't worry. Just like any siblings, or two people for that matter, they have different appetites.

 

I think we were at 3-4oz every 3 hours at that age.

 

thank you
that helps alot..

 

All three of my kids were taking 2-4 ounces per feeding at that age as well. As long as she is growing and you are seeing enough pee and poop diapers every day then she is probably getting everything she needs.
