They were eating every 2-2.5hrs...but now we can stretch them to every 3-4hrs. They have increased their feeding amounts and are now each taking about 3oz per feeding. (Compared to 25cc's when they were born! 3oz is 90cc's, so they have tripled their feeding amount!) Feeding can take between 1/2hr to an 1hr...depending on how hungry (and quickly) they want to eat and if we are "double" feeding the babies. I pump every 3-4hrs...which leaves only about 1-1.5 (if I am lucky 2) hours between feedings to accomplish something... such as a nap (much MUCH needed), 30 bottles to wash, laundry, emails, phone calls, etc...
Although they don't eat at the same time of day every day, we do wake and feed all three so that they keep to the same schedule. Besides that, we fit in all the chores when we have time...
I can't believe that they are already 4wks (yesterday) and today was my real due date!
They are getting bigger every day!!!
