Feeding Schedule with 6 week old triplets??

I have 6week old triplets who have been home with me from the beginning. We were on a good feeding schedule and going 3 1/2 to 4hrs at once now it seems like we are down to 3hrs inbetween feeding. I increased all their bottles to 4oz and hopefully that will help them go longer. My big question for those moms of triplets how did you handle trying to get them to all sleep longer. I find myself having one baby always waking up to eat before the other two and then I wake the other two to keep them all on schedule. It varies night to night which baby it is so its not like one baby needs more food than the other. I would appreciate any help I can get with this since I'm driving my self nuts!!!! I also have one more question, my husband is back at work and I do the overnight feedings mostly by myself since he is working. How do you handle if all three need to eat at the same time. I was thinking about getting one of those bottle holders and wanted any opinons or reviews on them. thanks in advance for any help or guidance.

I dont know how to do it with 3 but I can shed some light on how we do it on our own with 2. We have 2 fisher price bouncers set up on a plastic adjustable table (set at the lowest setting so it is at chair height)

When they were little we used bottle props, now we use what ever is available to prop under the bottles and feed them both.

HTH good luck! you are doing GREAT!!!!

First off congrats!!!!

You can put the babies in boppy pillows if you have or bouncy seat and prop the bottles by rolling up a blanket....I use to put 2 kids on the couch in the boppy pillow and then the other one on floor in bouncy seat...You will figure it out....


Good Luck!!!!!

i only have twins, but have been trying the bottle sling that attaches to the handle of a car seat... i think its bottlesling.com? Granted, one of them ripped right away but still works, and I've found it much easier to have at least 1 baby in a car seat and fed this way while I hold the other one for feeds.

As for the schedule I'd love to hear what others have to say as I'm pretty much in the same boat, though I just wonder if this is what happens at this age (6 weeks old here too!)
