A nurse a while back looked at coop and asked if he was baby b... Is baby b normally the smaller of the two if there is a lb difference??? Silly question I'm sure...

I don't think it is silly. A lot of the ladies in my MOM group's baby B's (those who knew for sure) were smaller. I'm not sure if this was just a fluke, though.
Are you asking just for IDs?
We didn't really call them Baby A or B because um. The penis kind of made sure we knew who was who .
But if you go off what doctors guidelines for who is Baby B is (at my office it was whichever twin was closest), my Baby B (Grier) was always a few ozs. smaller than Baby A (Camden).

My baby B has been a few ounces behind on the ultrasounds..not sure yet on birth weight if it will hold true.
My OB made a comment once that if we able to do a vaginal birth it would be nice if A stayed the bigger one since she'd be out first and it would be easier that way. So I think she's had some where A was the smaller one and B was bigger.
B was DS and he was 1 lb bigger and is now closer to 1.5 lbs bigger. Like pp said, A was lower and had I delivered vag, ideally you want A to be the bigger one.
My baby B was 1lb heavier at birth and never looked back. For the first year, she was consistenly 1lb heavier. Then she just started growing taller and now weights about 2 or 3lbs more than baby A.

My Baby B always measured bigger than Baby A in ultrasounds. Yet, at birth, he was over 6 lbs and she was just under 5 lbs.
well it depends. M (who was is always slightly heavier (like 6 oz), and J (who was A) is always slightly taller (like .5 in).
how's that for not helpful

My baby B was the bigger baby. She now weighs about the same, but is taller by about an inch.

My guys were measuring the same while in utero. Baby B (Tage) was born weighing 5 oz more than Baby A.
Baby B is still my bigger baby. He has a good 2 lbs on Taylen.
My baby A was smaller and still is by a pretty big %.
Their birth weighs are in my sig.
