What are the long term consequences of putting my twins on feeding tubes? they are 3.25 and 2.95 kg at 1 mo adjusted age; weight gain of 17-21 g/day.

They gaining weight : Pretty well- 2/3 oz. -1 oz./day is the target. Just make sure they're doing at least non-nutritive sucking on a nipple (yours or a nursery-made pacifier) so they don't develop an oral aversion. Your twins will be referred to the state's early intervention program to monitor their development. Fyi, dr. Monica suchoff is an excellent board-certified developmental/behavioral pediatrician in el paso.
