my 2 weeks olds are little porkers

I took my twincesses to the pedi today and they are up over their brith weight which is great news.. Aurora was 5.6 at birth and now is 5.13 and Maya was 4.9 and now is 5.3, which is awesome news!!

I was reading some other post and some of the babies at 1 month were eating about 4 oz, mine are little porkers it seems, they will nearly eat 4 oz of formula and usually around the same of breastmilk.. This afternoon they ate nearly 4oz of EBM and i added an ounce of formula because last time they were still fussy after just the BM. I guess im suprized that they are eating so much.. I know i shouldn't compare to others but just curious if anybodies elses at this much.. They do sleep pretty good between feedings tho. Sometimes they will go 3-4, but like right now they are still asleep after this afternoons nearly 5 oz feeding..

 

Sounds like they like to eat. How long are they going between feeds?

 

congrats on them doing so well!

 

It sounds like they're doing great! Mine took less, but it sounds like they're taking what they need.

 

Great appointment and great weights! Way to go babies!

 

That's great! My two were still taking 2-3oz at that age.

 

Sounds like they are doing great! You can't overfeed a baby. if they take in too much, it will just come back up since their tummies are tiny (I know this from experience).

 

Sounds like they are doing great! I think at 2 weeks old we offered my girls 4 ounces but they didn't always take that much.
