What can i do if my twins seem under weight?

Visit your doc: The first question that you need to answer is "are the children under weight?" in order to answer that the childrens' weight needs to be plotted on a growth chart. Once we have accurate height, weight and head circumfrence then we can start to decide what we need to do.

Check growth charts: If a singleton baby, or twins, or even triplets seem underweight, the accurate way to see if something is a problem is for the doctor to plot out the baby(s) on growth charts. The charts compare length, weight, and head size as babies grow over time. If a baby is truly underweight, the doctor will look to see if the baby is not getting enough calories, is not digesting the food well, etc. . .
