eating enough?

I'm not sure if I should post this here or the BF-ing board. I breastfeed my triplets during the day about every 2 1/2 to 3 hrs, and feed them bottles of expressed breast milk at night. They are 3 months old, but born at 33 weeks so if you adjust their age, they would be just 6 wks. I guess feeding questions pertain more to weight though (maybe??). So they are each aproximately 10 lbs. and they taking bottles of about 4 oz during the night feedings. Sometimes they don't even take a full bottle. Obviously I don't know how much they are taking in when I BF them but they are gaining weight and having good diapers so I guess I shouldn't worry. I guess I just feel like they should be taking more than this. What do you think?

My DS never took a full bottle during a night feed. He would always just take enough to satisfy his hunger.
I say that if your lo's are gaining weight and having good diapers, then they are doing great.
You are doing a great job.

I second Tom Tom's mum, if they have lots of wet diapers and are gaining well, sounds like you are doing a great job! Also, just wanted to say good for you for bfing triplets! That's amazing! Sounds like you re doing very well, congrats!
