Waking One Twin To Feed At The Same Time As The Other

by Jeanne
(West Indies)

I have 1 month old twin girls and have been trying to feed them at the same time especially for night feedings. The problem is if one twin wakes to eat and the other has to be woken, I find the sleeping twin does not feed well - only 2 ounces instead of 4 if I can get her awake! I need tips to wake them and get them to feed well to keep them on the same schedule.

when one sounds the alarm - change both their diapers - this will get them awake, take off their clothes, try an ice cube on the foot, burb them, don't rock or sing while feeding. These are the type of things that keep one month olds awake long enough to drink. In another month, they will only have 1-2 night feedings, then one, then none in the middle of the night. It will get easier, hang in there.
