Is Formula Milk Advisable For A 3 Month Old Twins?
I have twin girls of 3 months completed of weight 5 kg each. They only breast feed. I try so many time to give them expressed milk from bottle but they dont take from bottle. Will my milk be enough for them? Or i can give them cerelac or anything else. One more thing to mention that they dont like formula milk as well.. It causes constipation to them so i dont give.. Please suggest me some good tips regarding feeding.

it is best to give breasts milk since it not only contains carbs n all but also immuno protective agents that increase ur childs immunity. u can store ur breasts milk in the fridge and use it for 24 hrs. warm it a little before giving it to the baby. if ur able to feed both ur babies and ur getting sufficient milk then store ur expressed milk and give that only. formula feeds shud be used when ur milk is inadequate. u can use farex or lactogen stage 1 . usually they dont cause constipation. no solid foods yet please. its better to start them when ur twins turn 6 months
