We plan to use rtf in the beginning with our twins just for sanitys sake. We have a 20 pack case of rtf. I know that won't last long with twins. I know the hospital will give us samples too but not a ton. I think the enfamil rep said they will also send another case when the babies arrive.
I dont want to stock up too much since I know we may need to change formulas but want to have a week or so on hand so I'm not sending DH out last minute for more which will cost $$ without coupons and sales.

They eat about every 2-3 hrs per day so in a day about 8-10 bottles per baby I used powder and went through a can in two days now a can a day

The hospital told expect 1-2oz per feeding 3-4 hours. At 3 days DD is taking 2 oz every 4 hours. Sometimes she looks hungry still so I'm starting to offer at 3 hour intervals.

As I figured that case won't last long. Just a day lol. I guess we should pick up like 5 more at least. Just to have. Now I need to find coupons. They still haven't sent me any!! I signed up for both similac and enfamil and nada.
