my twins are 1 week old. T1 hasn't been feeding well unlike her bigger sister, T2, who drinks 30ml easily in 1 sitting. T1 takes half an hour to drink and yet only finishes 20-25ml. what can i do? i want her to drink more cos she's smaller but i dont want to force her.
Each child's feeding patterns and needs are quite different. However, if the T1's eating less has resulted in weigt loss or less weight gain over a period of time, best to show her to your pedia.
this might need to discuss specialist if you are really concerned. but each baby is to their own. some drink more, some drink less. maybe t2 drink lesser but more frequent 😊
thank u. i will continue monitoring her feeding. maybe i will shorten her feeding intervals and feed 20ml each time
Children's feeding patterns may vary. But if it really is causing a concern, you may want to consult with your paediatrician to be sure what best you can do.
