My twins tured four months yesterday. But were four weeks early. I have been breast feeding and suplimenting with formula and expressed milk up until now and am in the process of transitioning to mostly formula. I have been feeding four ounces of milk/formula every three to four hours since they were a few weeks old. Now that they are so much bigger (14 pounds) I'm not sure how much to feed them. They had been eating two to three times a night but just stopped night feeding. I was reading online that some four month olds take eight ounces at a time which seems like a lot.
How much and how often are you feeding your little ones?
Re: How much do you feed your twins?
I want to say that at 4 months DD was taking 5oz and DS was taking 4oz, they ate every 3 hours. 8oz at 4 months is ALOT, mine are 8.5 months and have never taken that much in one bottle.
ETA: I wouldn't worry how much in each bottle, look at the overall intake; I think at that age its 28-32oz/day.
hmmm, it's funny how fast your forget stuff. let's see my boys were born at 36 wks and at 4 mo they were STTN and eating 4x/day, 8 oz a bottle. shortly thereafter M started wanting MORE (like 10 oz a bottle), so thats when i started with solids (per pedi rec).
ETA-my guys are total chunkers- 95% for weight........
At 4 months, J was taking 8oz every 4 hours during the day and 6oz at night (38oz). We switched him over to cereal per the pedi and now he takes 8oz 4 times a day and usually another 2-4 with his rice cereal. He STTN most of time now.
E takes 7oz 4 times a day and off and on 4 though the night.
I have always had really good eaters. J is going to eat us out of house and home.
