Here is my update- baby is already a month plus old and such a chunky monkey I better hit the gym and lifts some weights bc he is going to be heavy...body is still sore from labor but love the weight I put on..hubby and I are good we get into little fights but lack of sleep will do that to u hahha I have to hold my tongue sometimes since im soo implusive and I say whats on my mind it can be not good sometimes..cute thing that my baby does but annoying after he is done eating he falls asleep but immediately poops right after thrn I change him and he wakes up and is up lol havent found a way around that yet..soo im breast feeding pumping and formula and now that my baby is getting bigger ill breast fees him each boob like 15 mins and still after he is hungry and I have notice that my boobs don't fill up as much as they used too :( idk if formula is just thicker then breast milk idk..I just thought he wasnt gettinf enough so I pumped into a bottle and I filled the whole bottle but still he was hungry this is all recent..im kinda at a loss and my moms breast milk production slowed down after 2 months so I think I might be following in that path which I hope not bc I love to breast feed my baby..idk any ideas ladies and I want to here updates from all of u !!!

Make sure your pumping if you give formula because that will reduce your supply. But I would try the binky too instead of giving more. He may just want to suck because that is how they comfort themselves. My baby is 6 weeks and eats around 3 to 4oz every 3 to 4 hours. So be careful about over feeding, it will make the baby a little miserable and harder for him to roll over and excersize. Just an fyi

That good news. Lack of sleep makes us all bitchy at times. New baby meansalot of new adjustments for everyone. Getting on a schedule is there hardest part along with accomedating 2different parenting trads. But sound s like you are doing well with it :-) ..
As for the breast milk,  it digest faster than formula so they will poop a lot more than formula and it will be kinda runny to yuck lol. And for him being hungry still,  I don't think so. I asked my boys dr AMD she said they are getting plenty its just their sucking urge isn't satisfied. My boys don't like binki so it feels like I'm constantly walking around with my boobs popped out. Lol I love breast feeding.. buts wish it wasn't an every hour thing.. guess twins will do that..
