Did your twins have reflux issues?

Hi everyone, I am sure there is no 'general' answer to this, but our son was born at 38wks and just over 5lbs, and he had horrible reflux, and to this date is a very bad eater with tube feeding things.

He was medicated on everything possible, we held him for hours, fed while asleep etc.. and now I am wondering.. what is your experience with your twins?

I have this fantasy I can feed them each in their own bouncy and we can try to be a 'normal' family since everything about our son's eating is BEYOND abnormal and we hardly go out or travel or do anything that isn't revolved around his feeding and his bigger issues.

Any info would be great!
thanks,
~r

My YDD did, my DS did not. Her issue was so minor we didn't need medication, and she grew out of it by 6-8 months. HTH

My boys were born at 38 weeks and weighed in at 6 1/2 lbs each.

Mine were born at 34 weeks and did not have reflux. I don't think it is automatic for twins, or even early babies. I hope your twins don't suffer the way your son has!
