Dear Jennifer,
The twins are on semi solids since they were 6 months+..they had 3 meals. Breakfast (at 9-9.30 am: 2 tablespoon of rusks biscuits mix with water / youghurt)..lunch (12 – 1.00: 2 tablespoon of mashed rice+soups or grinded macaroni or prepared cereals)..and dinner (5.30-6.00pm: 2 table spoon of prepared / instant cereals). I leave at home around 28-30oz of EBM everyday to be consumed while i’m at work..their weight currently 8.3kg (Twin 1) and 8 kg (Twin 2)
So my concern is are they really hungry or something else?
Really appreciate your help.
Thank you.
Dear Yanti,
Thanks for your updated information. From the information provided, your twins are doing well with good weight gain. The 30 oz of milk i guess is to be shared by the two of them. If that is the case, I suggest increasing the amount of semisolids at each meal to eliminate the possibility of hunger. If after increasing the amount of solids, they are still waking up, then we may have to gradually eliminate the night feeds . When you are confident that they are no hungry, you can follow the steps in Asian parenting today on page 258/259 to eliminate the night feeds.
All the best,
Jennifer
