One month update

I really liked the updates fellow bloggers are doing,great way to keep track of babies development

Twin 1 Aiden. Twin 2 Aaron

Age- 1 month but corrected age 1 week old

Weight- Aiden is weighing in at 3.5kg and Aaron is 4kg!!!

Development- They are starting to focus on my face and whoever is holding them, little milky smiles every now and then. Picking their heads up when they are lying on a persons chest.

Eating- what a learning curve this has been. We started off breastfeeding both babies and then giving them a 30 ml formula to up. We kept this up for the first week until Aiden was taken up in hospital. I was then no longer aloud to breastfeed my babes as they where worried about Aaron getting the infection as well, so onto expressing we went. I was only expressing about 20ml per side, so they started giving Aiden more and more formula as they where feeding him on demand.

So we just started doing the same with Aaron as well, my poor babies must have been starving all along as they were polishing off just over 60ml at each feed.

By the time we where released from Hospital, little Aiden had become such a fussy eater, it would take us an hour to try and feed him, with most of it ending up on his clothes anyway.
Aaron on the other hand became an eating machine, man that little dude rocks!
Both boys became too lazy to breastfeed and are now formula fed with 1 bottle of expressed BM a day.
Unfortunately my milk supply is dwindling fast!
I'm still trying but seems I'm fighting a loosing battle

Had a consult with our midwife today and Aaron can start drinking 150 ml per feed and Aiden 130ml(when he feels like it ...lol)


Sleep- They mostly sleep after every feed, sometimes they will stay awake, no real pattern yet, at night they get a dreamfeed at about 10 or 11pm which will take them to about 2 or 3am and then we will have another 3-4 hrs of sleep.
Our babies are quite noisy with lotsa little grunts and stretches at night, keeps you checking on them while they are happily in dreamland...lol

Favourite things - Milk! Their bottles and dummies (pacifiers)are a very close second. They also seem to love their bath

Dislikes- Changing their diapers when they are hungry and being cold.

Their accomplishments- They can both lift their heads and turn it the other way, we have seen the first little smiles and a coo or two, way too cute. And if you hold an object close to them they will follow it with their eyes for a couple of seconds. Our babies are really good little boys so far, easy babies, hope it lasts...lol

Our accomplishments- Taking care of twins!! Wow, it's really hard work!

Looking forward too- Real smiles for mommy and daddy and hopefully more sleep, but at the same time they grow up so fast I don't want to wish time away, just want this reall new baby phase

Mommy thoughts- love, love, love, love!!!!!
