I have twin daughters who are 2 nearly 3 .I know every child is different but how different can identical twins be , one twin is very tall already in 4-5 clothes and other is very small still in 18-24 month clothes, both are healthy and eat well and are both intellectly the same but the height and size different is amazing - any other multiple parents have similar ?

No. But I know grown up identical twin brothers who look exactly the same but there is a massive height difference between them. Their mum swears they are identical, and they appear to be, but for the height. Sorry if not useful, but you're not alone!

I have non identical twin girls and at a year old the difference in height and build is noticeable! I have a tallish skinny one and a short chunky one( like her mum!)

I’m glad I’m not alone one twin is 90cm tall and the other 107cm such a difference when I try to take a photo and get clothes . I mean at birth the now taller one was only 1cm longer than her twin now she’s over 10cm

At one year ours are almost 4cm different! Are yours supposed to be identical? X
