I EBF my older DDs so this is all new - my 10 week old twins (6.5 corrected) only take 3oz (either formula or EBM) at a feed; the slightly bigger twin was able to manage 4oz a couple of weeks ago but has fallen back again since they both had a nasty cold. Smaller twin - still only 3.6kg at 10 weeks - definitely maxes out at 3oz. They are gaining weight ok but my main issue is that they are up all night every 2 hours or so for bottles - how do I get them to take more per feed during the day? For the moment I've reverted to 3 hourly feeds (they were on 4 hourly before the cold) but feel as though this is a step backwards. Seeing health visitor next week but wanted to tap into the wisdom of Mumsnet in the meantime...

I’m not sure I know of a way you can unfortunately. Have you tried asking in the Multiples Section? Some wise MNer in there might have more knowledge of how to deal with DTs Smile
