EBF Babies - Poopie Question
I'm EBF my twin boys...
One of their poops are always very seedy and runny. The other one's are runny but thicker with no seeds. Does this mean anything? Is one getting more hindmilk or something?

Re: EBF Babies - Poopie Question
my twins sometimes didnt have a lot of seeds and sometimes did. How are you feeding them? Tandem? Are you assigning one boob per twin?

Re: EBF Babies - Poopie Question
All of the above. lol
I have one big guy (born at 8.4) and one little guy (born at 6). The bigger twin eats more than the little one and stays full longer. I'm feeding on demand right now, so I sometimes tandem feed if they're hungry at the same time and then sometimes nurse them separately. I alternate breasts at every feeding to make sure I'm producing the same amount in each. Their last feeding of the day is a tandem feed and they wake up at the same time at night, so I tandem feed in the middle of the night too... In the daytime it varies.
ETA: The little one always has seedy poops and the big one never does. Maybe it's just their digestive systems?

I think it may just be their digestive system. How long are they latched on for? Do they nurse more or less at the same times during the day as well?

They just turned 1 month today - they are latched on for 15min-ish. They gulp the entire time then either fall asleep or just won't go back on. Is this long enough? It was much longer in the beginning, but they are peeing/pooping as much as they should which shows me that they're getting enough. They more or less nurse around the same times... Once I finish with one, the other one usually goes on.

Both of theirs are mustard colored too... forgot to mention that.
You're so right, I think I'm comparing them too much! I have to remember that they are 2 different babies. lol

Mustard Color is what you want to see even if the consistency may be off.
