Hello everyone, I'm Xiaoxue's mother
"Twins" have always been the dream of many families, and it will be very interesting and cute to see anyone with their twin children going out.
But we also know that taking care of children is a very tiring thing, especially in twin families, Bao Ma can't take care of it alone, so she naturally needs the help of the elderly, but the older generation and the younger Bao Mom have different ways of raising babies, so the gap between twin children will gradually widen.
On the Internet, a twin mother shared a photo of her two little babies growing up, but it is obvious from the photo that the two children look like each other anymore, but how can one child grow up to be significantly larger, while the other child looks significantly smaller.
In the face of everyone's questions, Bao's mother also stood up to explain, because the twins in the family can't be taken into account by themselves, so they usually bring one by themselves, and the mother-in-law helps bring one, plus her own breast milk is not enough, the younger brother is raised with pure breast milk, and the older brother is fed with milk powder from grandma.
After Bao's mother's explanation, netizens were even more surprised, and couldn't help but sigh: The elder brother is more like an enlarged version than the younger brother! Even exaggerated, the elder brother seems to be a full year older than the younger brother.
Why are there twins, but there is a big difference in height and weight between the two children?
First, the two children began to "grab food" in their mother's belly
Although it is said that they are twins, the two little ones grow up in their mother's womb at the same time, but the "competition" starts from the mother's womb. Because the nutrition that the mother can provide is relatively fixed, but the two little ones have to get nutrition, which leads to the two fetal babies to fight openly and secretly, the baby who grabs more may be stronger and better developed, and the baby who grabs less may look a little weak.
This may also be reflected in the fact that after the birth of the child, there will be some difference in the weight of the two twin children, and after raising it for a period of time, the gap between the two children may still exist, so there is a certain reason for this consideration.
Second, there may be a gap in the digestion and absorption ability of the two children
Each child's physique is different, even if they are twins, they are only more similar in appearance, but there are still differences in diet, personality, and physical state.
Let's just say that each child's digestion and absorption ability is different, some children digest well and absorb faster, and the body grows faster, while some children have poor digestion and absorption ability, so their physical development will be slower.
Some netizens have also asked Bao's mother, why don't you let the two babies change to "feed"? Give your brother breast milk and let your brother eat milk powder? Bao's mother also explained that she had tried it, but her younger brother was used to breast milk, and he refused to eat milk powder, and he couldn't watch her child cry when she was a mother, so she fed it all the way.
We all know that breast milk is the best ration for children, more suitable for children than any milk powder, but sometimes twins, Bao Ma's breast milk is not enough for two children to eat, can only be followed by one child to eat more, the other child can only eat less, and add some milk powder.
Compared with the two children above, it may be that the elder brother's gastrointestinal absorption capacity is stronger and can absorb more nutrients from the milk powder, so the body grows faster; The younger brother may not be able to digest and absorb well, and his physical development is not as fast as that of his elder brother.
Of course, these reasons are only objective, the difference between the growth of the two children, if the parents have more worries, then take the child to have a check-up, listen to the doctor's advice, growing too fast or too slow is actually not good for the child, a balanced state is a more secure way for the child's health.
