    Do you think it's strange/worrisome that one of my boys drinks an average of 40 oz. per day and the other only eats 25 oz. per day? They're three months old.

    Mine have always drank about the same amount and I thought that was strange! :laughing:

    As long as they are both gaining and happy, I think it's fine!!

    Mine have alwyas drank very different amounts. Zack has drank 30-32 ounces a day since December, but Annika drinks anywhere from 16-27 ounces. The doctor said they'll drink what they want, so I wouldn't worry at all.

    mine were the same way. Arwen used to drink 40 oz a day and Lorien only about 30-32. They both were content and gaining weight so there was nothing to worry about. Of course Arwen was (and continues to be) my chunky mama but she is starting to thin out a little bit since she has been crawling and just recently started walking.

    I agree with pp - as long as they are gaining weight they will eat what they need!

    Mine usually always drank different amounts as well. I don't think it is strange. All babies are different, even twins.

    Babies are all different. Mine are different as night and day. I wouldn't worry as long as they are growing fine, happy, healthy and making their milestones.

    Actually, I've never thought about it until I read this post, but now I'm thinking that the fact that we feed ours the exact same & they are both satisfied with it is strange given that Hannah has always been about 2 lbs & 1 1/2 bigger! :lol:
