Size difference in older twins

CaliCarly77 · September 2014

When my di/di girls were born, Josie was bigger than Alex. Alex was a better eater (boob/bottle) and surpassed Josie in size within 2 weeks. Josie had boob issues and spit up a lot. Now that they are eating solids, Josie is finally eating huge amounts of food. She is insatiable. But she is about 4 lbs smaller than her sister.

Is it possible for them to switch again or catch up to one another? Just curious!!

Yep, could catch up... :-)

Mine have always been around 2 pounds apart. At birth, they were only 10 ounces different.

They both eat around the same but I attribute the difference to many things. The smaller guy is way more active and mobile. Also, they just have different body types.

My sister and I are two years apart, but I am 3 inches taller and straight and narrow. She is shorter and super curvy. Growing up, our weights might have intersected or flipped but overall our genetics determine body type, etc.

Anything is possible, but a weight difference, especially in frats, isn't uncommon or worrisome. My guys were born 7oz apart, quickly developed about a 2lbs difference, and now have about a 3lbs difference, at 20mos old. I'm sure the gap will just become wider, over time. They are also nearly 3" apart in height.

My Baby B (di/di) was born 4 oz bigger, but now at 2 years old he's 4 lbs smaller

So size differences, particularly in di/di's, are very common!

Thanks everyone!! I am not worried since they are both healthy and in the normal range, but am finding the whole thing kind of funny. The size difference really confuses people - I think if I told them they were 4 months apart, they would believe me!

And you are right to point out siblings - my sister is 3 years younger but when I was about 8 and she was 5, we could share clothes. She towers over me and is a good few sizes bigger. I guess they will be like her and I

My twins are ten months old with a five pound difference. People don't seem to believe me when I say they are twins since they appear to be several months apart.
