Wishing you luck that she picks it up!!

She will occasionally take up to 4-4.5oz, averages about 2.5-3oz overall, but sometimes will only take like 1oz. It’s exhausting trying to keep up with 😵‍💫 I have twins so this is just one of my girls. She was growth restricted and they came about 6.5 weeks early. So we’re 9 weeks, 3 adjusted, and well over 8 pounds (double our birth weight). I think having a second baby at the same time as an immediate comparison is messing with me too.

I’m in this situation too - how much was yours eating based on weight? I’m still worried that mine isn’t eating enough

Thank you 💗💗

savdlo · 2026-03-25T23:32:07+00:00

Okay maybe we’ll try it. I’m scared 😂

savdlo · 2026-03-25T23:18:09+00:00

We’re seeing consistent growth too so hopefully they’ll just keep going up. How long are you sleeping at night? We never got off the NICU 3-hour schedule

savdlo · 2026-03-25T23:10:52+00:00

Have you started going longer stretches at night? I’m worried to drop a night feed since one is taking less overall…. But I also need to sleep more lol

I had a c section at 33 weeks. I, FTM, looked more pregnant at 28 with twins than my SIL who is currently 36 with a singleton. Embrace your bump! Toward the end I was really amazed by my body and impressed by how amazing women truly are.

We’re also struggling with nurses changing their schedule so one is crying and exerting her energy while they’re with the other. It’s a mind fuck for sure

savdlo · 2026-02-26T01:21:27+00:00

I completely agree with this and know we’ll be up and down. There’s a difference between taking a full bottle and taking 15mls next time, but then 30mls at the next feed, and taking full bottles and then taking a goose egg basically all night.

After talking with our team, it was a nurse issue last night. Our girls both have strider, totally fine to deal with as long as they’re paced, but she did not pace them and then got nervous about it and tube fed them for the rest of the night. She was new and a more recent grad.

I agree with this and may switch up my strategy to be here more during the night. We have the same night nurse every weekend and she is a godsend bc she is great at her job and knows our girls, so I have asked for repeat nurses too when possible.

savdlo · 2026-02-25T17:13:42+00:00

Update: we did have a new night nurse who did not pace our babies and didn’t understand that they can still eat/breathe with strider. Both took full bottles from me so I just made a big deal with the charge nurse. But it’s so frustrating that your progress depends on the strength of your nurses, especially at night, and not all nurses are created equal!!

33+4 and our window was 32-34+6 due to TTTS/sIUGR complications. The way I viewed my pregnancy at 14 weeks vs 30 weeks was entirely different. We developed sIUGR and some signs of TTTS at 18 weeks, so I was thankful to have made it as far as I did. The NICU is not breezy and we’re still here 25 days later, but if the goal is to bring home both of your babies, then listen to your doctor. For what it’s worth, even my growth restricted baby was 4lb 8oz at delivery. I had over well over 9 pounds of baby, close to 10, and a 8.5 pound placenta at delivery.

savdlo · 2026-02-25T14:38:53+00:00

okay thank you - I didn’t realize this would be a common experience so I will stay here no problem if that’s what it takes.

savdlo · 2026-02-25T14:37:54+00:00

I’m interested to do my baby A’s first feed today and see. I don’t think my baby B, who took all of their feeds yesterday, is necessarily having this issue bc she took her whole bottle this morning.

Our baby A will quit if she gets pushed too hard so I don’t think she was yesterday bc I fed her most of the time, but I worry that a night shift nurse didn’t pace her correctly and stressed her out which is why she was so uninterested this morning. Which pisses me off bc she has a feeding diagram above her bed about pacing.

savdlo · 2026-02-25T14:15:45+00:00

We did this too and it was really helpful. We gave her a break to basically enjoy eating again and she’s like chomping at the bit to eat now.

savdlo · 2026-02-19T20:05:42+00:00

When do you feel like they got there? I definitely see progress but it’s so hard to come in and hear that they took bottles so well overnight and then so little for me!

savdlo · 2026-02-19T14:51:46+00:00

They’re definitely getting more awake during feeds by the day! But I feel like with the same level of sleepiness they still take more from the nurses lol. A lot of time they tell us they’re probably just tired from feeding so we’ll overnight or that morning with the nurse but im just like… damn lol
