Ok, I am so totally in awe of their weight gain. Do you mind if I ask what they are eatting--type of formula or breastmilk? We have had such issues with weight gain--both babies a little over 5 pounds at birth (almost 37 weeks)...an now 10 lbs 1 oz (Addie) and 10 lbs 15 oz (James) at 4 months. I am doing at 24 calorie mix of formula, but they just won't bulk up and keep hovering at the 1st and 2nd percentiles.

The girls were on BM and Neosure in the NICU and came home on that. They took 90% BM for their first 4 weeks. We then shifted to just Neosure until 6 weeks. Since then, they've been on Similac Advance. From what I hear, formula fed babies bulk up quicker than BM babies - BUT in the end it all evens out!!
Re: On the charts!
