2 month well visit
Well we had our two month visit. The boys are doing great! Brock is 14lbs
2oz and 24 inches while Ben is 11lbs 9oz and 23.5 inches. They each had three shots. Brock was ticked off royally about the whole thing. Ben took it a little better. He was really sleepy so went back to sleep rather quickly. They slept through my appt. which was immediately after. Both boys are just a joy. They are really very easy babies. :-) They still wake 2-3 times a night but are moving towards sleeping longer all the time. This is actually good to me as my others nursed a lot more frequently at this age. I had to hear the big sermon about how to get them to sleep through which aggravated me a little bit since I didn't ask or express any concern at all. Both are breastfed and that is going well. They get a bottle 5 times a week or so in preparation for me to go back to work. I have no freezer stash at all because finding a good time to pump is hard with two. I usually use their practice bottles as a time to go to the store or do something with the big boys if I'm not putting in a couple hours of work. Oh - have to run. That is my update. I'm happy :-) -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |

what a difference it weight, they weren't that much different at birth were
they? I presume Ben is the one you were asking about on m.k.b. I suppose that shows what a difference there can be with a good breastfeeder and a baby who finds it difficult. Glad everything is going well Anne |

I suppose that shows what a difference there can be with a good breastfeeder and a baby who finds it difficult. Glad everything is going well If you could see the two of them it is clear that Brock is just a bigger person and meant to be. It isn't just pudge. His wrists and ankles are thicker and bigger. Their heads are the same size but very differently shaped. Brock has a broad round head and Ben's head looks tiny but it must stick out back :-) Ben is a much smaller boned person. Dh is small boned like that, as is his whole family. I have the bigger bones. Of all four of my kids Brock is the biggest at 2mos and Ben is the smallest at 2mos. Of course all that can change. I looked up the other two because dh and I tried to guess their weights. Dh won :-) Ben is the one I was asking about but he seems to be nursing just fine now, no problems. He is having a time with the shots though. He woke up screaming :-( -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |

I'm happy :-) Congratulations! I'm 22 weeks along with twin girls. I b/f my DD for three years and of course want to b/f the twins. I'm just trying to figure out the logistics of it all. (I don't know anyone in RL who b/f twins for any length of time. Neither of my sisters-in-law b/f their twins.) My DD and I co-slept (making night-time feedings much easier), but I really can't see that as an option with twins. Also, how do you b/f round-the-clock with two? Do you b/f both at the same time? My DD was constantly at the breast when she was a newborn. Thanks. Mary |

I'm a little obsessed with all things twin and don't know anyone IRL so if you ever want to bounce anything around don't hesitate to post, lol. My DD and I co-slept (making night-time feedings much easier), but I really can't see that as an option with twins. Some people do I think but I have my twins in their cribs. I sometimes bring them in my bed around 6am and spend a couple hours there but I don't like it much. I also co-slept with my first two singletons. Also, how do you b/f round-the-clock with two? Do you b/f both at the same time? My DD was constantly at the breast when she was a newborn. Lucky for me the twins don't seem to do as much marathon nursing as my others. 3 nights a week is all maybe. I do nurse both together as often as I can work that out. It is definitely a time saver. http://www.doubleblessings.com/Searc...tegory=Feeding That nursing pillow is worth every penny! Gotta run or I would post more. -- Nikki, mama to Hunter 4/99 Luke 4/01 Brock 4/06 Ben 4/06 |
