Size difference in twins??
Is there a noticeably difference in size/weight between your twins/ multiples?
My smaller baby doesn’t look unwell or anything but he’s noticeably smaller than his brother, sometimes I feel a bit embarrassed/ashamed because I wonder if people think I feed one and not the other, lol sounds silly I know but I’m an overthinker…
My twins are identical but they barely look it due to their size difference and I hate it😔
One twin drinks 4.5oz every 3.5 hours and always finishes it and the other is offered 3.5oz every 3.5 hours but at times only drinks 1oz!
He’s also a sicky baby so this doesn’t help with his weight gain.
Don’t get me wrong, he is gaining weight I just wish it was at a faster pace and also wish there was progress with his bottles rather than sometimes finishing it and other times barely drinking any.
😔😔

Mine are the same, twin a is 5.5 born and twin b 3.8. They are now 9 months and twin A wears 3-6/6-9 months and twin B wears 0-3/3-6 months. I think they look alike, all there features are the same just a big size difference but outsiders don’t notice that just the size 😂 mine are also mixed and one is a little more olive than the other.
I have read by the time they 2 they even out, my twin A has started moving before twin B and she is slowly starting to slim and they similar length/height so I can see them being even soon.
I always got the did the big one have all the food in your belly, and even now theirs a difference in what they eat, as long as they fed don’t worry, they will spit out what they don’t want.. don’t be embarrassed though, I love babies all size, so I love having one dainty dot and one chunky, best of both worlds 😍 and now I feel like it goes so quick so I feel I have a little baby for longer with my littlest x
My little also cried and was sick a lot at first, I stopped dairy and she started growing much better and less sick, so I think her digestive system just took longer to kick in too, I find she a little slower physically too but she had more growing to do at the beginning so makes sense x
My boy/ girl twins were born almost a pound apart 6lb6oz and 7lb4oz. They stayed about a pound apart for the longest time. Baby girl wore preemie clothes for a solid month and baby boy didn't wear them after we left the hospital! They are 2 now and baby girl has finally caught up with her brother in weight, but is still a lil smaller than brother, which I'm perfectly fine with bc I love holding her lil baby hands! 🥰🥰
tbh strangers always think they look alike, I think just as there mum I notice all the differences, obviously the main one being their size!
My babies are mixed too and one of them has curlier hair than the other, I think it’s cute for them to have little differences, I just wish their weight wasn’t one 😅
Your reply has made me feel much better though so thank you 🤍
see my smaller boy is still in preemie clothes and my bigger boy finally in 0-3 months.
Your reply has given me hope they’ll catch up to eachother eventually though 🥰 thank you!
My son was 6lbs0oz and my daughter was 4lbs15oz, now they're 15m old and my son is 23lbs and my daughter is 19lbs but she's finally catching up to him in height!
Mine were born 6lbs 1oz boy and 5lbs 6oz girl. They are now 10 weeks and consistently 2-3 lbs different. Rather than seeing them as twins I see them as two individuals. It might be easier for me to say this since they are different gender and not identical twins but as long as babies are healthy and well I say no problem! Best wishes.
Twin 1 is currently 18lbs and twin 2 is 13.5lbs
They’re growing inline within themselves which is all that matters. They will balance out in their own time
The will eventually grow out of it twin momma mine are 3 now and about 2 years old they looked the same size however you can tell picking them up weight is still different
